A discussion on creating green space at the Lillian Wald Houses


The first 2017 meeting for Opening the Edge, a community project on creating green space at the Lillian Wald Houses on Avenue D, is tomorrow night.

Here's more:

The Design Trust for Public Space, in partnership with NYCHA will work with residents to reimagine the green space at Wald Houses. We will focus on connectivity between the development and streetscape to encourage social interaction and promote public health. The Design Trust plans to construct a prototype of the design, coordinating with NYCHA, in a second phase of work.

Read more background on Opening the Edge here. The meeting is at 6:30 p.m. at the Boys & Girls Republic, 888 E. Sixth St. near Avenue D.

"We will add your biological and technological and distinctiveness to our own."

Enjoy your green partition, uh, I mean space.

Face it, this is about beautifying the green spaces for the lux housing residents who live across the street and beyond, is yet another Machiavellian attempt at forced social engagement. Those spaces should be redefined for the sole benefit of residents of the Lillian Wald Houses.
