Public meeting to discuss SE Prospect Park redesign - Mon. May 19, 6:30 pm

Some help may be on the way for the Ocean & Parkside intersection at Prospect Park: park reps have informed us that the entrance will be redesigned as part of a massive Park development project due to begin next year.

Of course, how it will be redesigned remains to be seen. We'd urge anyone and everyone concerned about the Park entrance to attend the upcoming public meeting: Monday, May 19, 6:30 p.m. at Wollman Rink.

The focus of the new development is Lakeside Center, a modern, "green" facility with two ice skating rinks set to replace Wollman Rink. Fortunately, the plan isn't just about ice skating:

The two rinks will also be available for warm weather programming. The outdoor rink may include water features like fountains for children to play in. The covered rink may be used for roller-skating, as a place to show movies, and for community events.

Exciting, huh? You can see more renderings of the proposed Center at Prospect Park's Lakeside Center page; the design, however, is "very preliminary" and will reportedly be at least partially shaped by public meetings like the one on Monday.

Please come and have a voice is the largest municipal development project planned for our neighborhood.

This Nabe proposal F@#%ing rocks. Great work guys. I love all of the ideas... sans maybe the speed humps. ; )

Also on the Rogers/Maple (Street) drawing, Maple Street goes the opposite direction.

I can only hope that any of these ideas happen. Rogers for one would be a different place.

Thanks for all the hard work.
