Brooklyn political activist Alicia Boyd recently attended an ongoing court hearing regarding her case against the New York City Department of City Planning. Boyd is a Crown Heights resident who is fighting against a development planned for 960 Franklin Ave. that would not only block hours of sunlight from neighboring Brooklyn Botanic Garden but potentially displace her long-time neighbors.
During the hearing, Boyd argued in defense of Crown Heights residents who have been left out of the decision-making process. As part of the city's uniform land use review process (ULURP), potential developers must present their plan in front of the local community board where all those who want to participate will have the option to have their opinions heard.
