Coney Island Creek is a Toilet Bowl
Coney Island Creek is a toilet bowl. It’s a creek. No one should be fishing or getting in that water for religious reasons.
I saw Coney Island Creek up close 10 years ago and I would compare it to the Gowanas Canal – it was filthy. It’s not a beach or a small lake where children could play in.
When you see Mark Treyger’s finger up, you know he is being disingenuous. Every discussion this man makes can’t involve finger pointing. The water at the Coney Island Creek has been dirty for over 10 years. Treyger is claiming that he is in the dark.
200,000 Pounds of waste was added to the water PER DAY
Is Treyger punishing the culprit? Nope – no talk of fines or anything like that. Just finger pointing and pretending to be concerned. “Fifteen buildings—a total of 990 apartments—were sending 200,000 gallons of sewage per day into a storm sewer that discharges directly into the waterway.” Why isn’t Treyger going after these building owners?
If you are a leader of the area and don’t know this, maybe you should stop playing with the developers and take time to know your area. The theatrics is strange, but something is not right about Treyger’s speech (listen from 1:00 – slurred?)
Treyger shouldn’t be asking what’s been dumped there, he should make sure no one is eating food from there! In 2015, residents complained about the smell and there was a meeting. So why is Treyger complaining like he didn’t know the water was being polluted. Disingenuous
