The construction of Brooklyn Bridge Park continues, with the building of the “grand staircase” which will overlook the Brooklyn Bridge, downtown Manhattan, and New York Harbor. The website NewYorkology has posted some photos of the staircase, and explains that it is constructed from recovered materials:
The stones are actually recycled and worn with age and graffiti from another East River location … the Roosevelt Island Bridge, which is undergoing its own massive reconstruction project.
SPR represented the Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corporation (BBPDC) in connection with the environmental review of the park under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), and subsequent litigation surrounding the development and approvals of the park. See more examples of SPR’s development and land use work.
