Cumbo, Johnson Get Earful At District Town Hall Meeting

Cumbo, Johnson Get Earful At District Town Hall Meeting

"Climate change was another issue that Cumbo and Johnson got grilled over. Fort Greene community activist Lucy Koteen took Cumbo to task over the Parks Without Borders project, an initiative to renovate Fort Greene Park that would involve the removal of 58 trees.

“What are you doing to stop this arborcide in our premium park?” asked Koteen. “What are you doing for the children who live in the area?”

Cumbo maintained that the project would ultimately help Fort Greene.

“Every tree that’s going to be removed is going to be replaced by three additional trees,” said Cumbo – though this answer didn’t sit well with the attendees, one of whom called out, “You can’t replace old trees! You just can’t!”
