NYC Mayor Adams brings back over 100 stalled parks projects

New York City parks are getting some green.

The city is restarting more than 100 stalled construction projects costing $417 million at parks and playgrounds, Mayor Adams announced Sunday.

The 104 undertakings range from rebuilding a basketball court at Chelsea Park in Manhattan to revamping the bathhouse at McCarren Park in Brooklyn and installing fitness equipment at the Bronx’s Ewen Park, according to the Parks Department. The plans also include nearly a dozen tree-planting projects.

Adams touted the effort as part of the city’s comeback from the ravages of the coronavirus pandemic.

No one is against improving/building parks and planting trees.

What tourist will want to come to the city for the museums? And some poor guy has it so bad that he's sleeping on a doorstep in the freezing cold and some beast comes along and firsts kicks him and then shoots him.
