Community Board 10 Voted ‘No’ on the High School on May 15th. Why Are Mailings from Brannan’s Office in June Saying the Opposite?
On May 15th, Community Board 10 voted down the high school on Ovington Avenue because there were many unanswered questions.
Councilman Justin Brannan sent out the above card this week – it’s June! Is Councilman Brannan ignoring the many concerns of Community 10?
The location is terrible for a high school because there are other schools with elementary school children are on the block (see red arrows below). The high school location is marked with a yellow arrow below.
Community leaders gave the School Construction Authority other locations, but they did not hear back. CB 10 wants an annex to help Fort Hamilton High School with their large population. In addition, they pointed out that a high school is needed on the other side of District 20 – not here.
It’s weird Justin Brannan would keep mentioning schools because the deal that went down at the Nathan’s school was HORRIBLE.
Brannan should be embarrassed that lobbying happened in our community. (See here) NYC paid $25 million for that property. (Info)
Even stranger is that Councilman Brannan didn’t tell Community Board 10 that 8808 – 5th Avenue was owned by the same man who flipped the Nathan’s property.
He made $21 million dollars on 8808- 5th Avenue. (See here) It’s incredible that one man made $46 Million Dollars on two properties in Bay Ridge and no one reported about the second sale being by the same owner.
The location for a school on 88th and 5th Avenue is strange because PS 264 is down the next block on 88th Street and 4th Avenue. One Community Board 10 member knew the school shared that the school was not full. (See here)
I wish Justin Brannan would stop wasting our tax dollars on inaccurate mailings.
