After several starts and stops, the first phase of the Brooklyn Bridge Park has finally started, according to the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy. Crews have begun tearing down the shed on Pier One today. According to the BBP website, “The first phase of construction will last up to nine months and includes demolition of the pier sheds, adjacent buildings on the site not included in the park plan, and the Purchase Building.”

    With the demise of Client #9, the future of BBP is in serious doubt.
  • Great, now this gives the faragut thugs a place to go "wildin'" at night. Hopefully there won't be a repeat of the central park jogger incident all over again!
