You could als...Thank you for sharing the petition.<br /><br />You could also argue these community gardens play a part in flood protection. Several gardens were heavily damaged when the floodwaters of Sandy made their way through the neighborhood east of Ave B. It's possible the gardens absorbed a lot of that water and possibly could have aided in sparing nearby properties. <br /><br />These gardens are taken for granted too often. Every few years, they are in danger in one way or another of development. Don't sit by an count on other people saving them. Once they're lost, they're not coming back so speak up now. We can't afford to lose these gardens, which are necessary and unique to our neighborhood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
