Replacement Park Spin

Just heard from Geoffrey Croft of New York City Park Advocates who says the Parks Department asked media to tour some of the "replacement parks" that were supposedly being renovated/constructed to mitigate the impact of the new Yankee Stadium being built on top of city parkland.

Croft says the parks they showed off were not part of replacement park plan at all. Needless to say, he's a little disgusted with city's "spin" efforts.

We should find some more about this and other park and river issues today at the Bronx Council on Environmental Quality's annual water conference today.

In fact, I need to run to get there.
