BHA executive director talks BQE
$1,500
SAVINGS
BY MOSES JEFFERSON
Brooklyn Paper Radio this week discussed
the latest news regarding the
Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, as
well as the playoff-bound Brooklyn
Nets.
Co-hosts Zach Gewelb and Johnny
Kunen were joined by reporter Kevin
Duggan, as the trio spoke
with Peter Bray, the
executive director
of the Brooklyn
Heights Association,
about
the fall out
from last
week’s town
hall as it relates
to the
BQE.
Bray said
that “a threshold
has been
achieved,” given
that the city will
no longer be trying
to force a highway onto
the Brooklyn Promenade. In
fact, it was the day of the most recent
town hall that the city revealed a new
“expert panel” to consider some other
solutions.
“Clearly the city is saying that it
made a mistake before with its original
two plans, that it didn’t widely
consider other options, and now it’s
time to talk a fresh look and the fact
that the panel was announced on
the day of the town hall meeting... It
didn’t surprise us,” Bray said.
Kunen then pitched his own idea
on how to salve the BQE’s issues:
make the triple cantilever an above
ground two story tunnel.
Bray didn’t dismiss the idea, saying
that “all creative ideas
need to be put into the
hopper.”
Moving on,
Gewelb and Kunen
talked about the
exciting playoffclinching
weekend
for the Nets
and how they
might match
up against either
the 76ers
or the Toronto
Raptors.
Nets coverage
will continue
on next week’s show
as we discuss the team’s
fi rst-round matchup.
We encourage listeners to email
bpnewsroom@schnepsmedia.com
with comments on the Nets’ playoff
chances and the BQE. We’re happy
to read some of the comments on next
week’s show.
