Post addendum

I received a link that the House of Representatives passed the bill mentioned in the above link.Its up to the US Senate to comply . Apparently a 3 mile long Gas pipe will be built with  it going thru one of the decrepit hangars for metering and transfer facility. Supposedly there is supposed to be some money set aside for Floyd Bennett improvements . Lets hope so...who knows with the way these political things go. But still , it's a bad precedent for corporations to use parkland for their right of way...

Here's the link of the latest
