Save Our Parks
saveourparks.blogspot.com/
We
are local
residents who are opposed to the taking of Macombs Dam and
Mullaly parks by the Yankees for a new stadium. We are also against the
construction of an additional 4,500 parking spaces which will attract
that many or more cars to an area which is already known as "Asthma
Alley". There are better alternatives: save and renovate the present
stadium, build on the present stadium's site, or build on what are now
parking garages south of the present site. But keep your hands off our
parks!
