A packed Stated Meeting carried three big swings. The Western Rail Yards rezoning passed in what Erik Bottcher called a 'historic' vote, nearly doubling affordable units and adding acres of green space, a school and daycare. The Council removed the casino from the 73-99 Empire Boulevard Crown Heights rezoning (21 affordable units, MIH Option 1). And a Bronx parkland-alienation home rule (Ferry Point Park, M 0144) split the room , Diana Ayala insisting 'we're not voting on a casino today,' Kristy Marmorato and District 13 members calling it special-interest power plays and urging no votes.
