A disturbing article at best. Why not just leave it alone? Any bit of green withing sight of Manhattan Island should be preserved. All of the plans submitted involve pouring metric tons of concrete and what has that to do with parks? Just make it available via a $20. ferry ride. Put nothing on it and then the public will not descimate it. Something else to be considered.
A causeway connecting Governors Island to Liberty Island? Who is crazt here? One proposal after the of how to torture nature. Take a look at Central Park and then take a look at these proposals and the dichotomy is obvious. The fact that Albany is involved is terrifying.
