East River Park Has a TRO But the NYPD Isn’t Following the Courts Papers
The community activists in the East River Park won in court! They were given a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order to stop work in the park until they could be heard in court on December 20th.
These are the same people that Councilman Justin Brannan wouldn’t speak to during the Summer when they went to his office. (See video of them at Brannan’s office.)
They were given redacted. All of the pages of the Engineering report for the park look like this:
Brannan told the people he would request an oversight hearing. Corey Johnson said no council member put in the paperwork for an oversight hearing.
NYC has continued to cut down trees despite the TRO from the state. What fascist Democrats aren’t following the state-issued TRO? These are not Bernie Sanders, Socialist Democrats.
NYC Comptroller Scott Stringer saw there was a problem with the contract and sent it back. Yesterday he wrote this on Twitter:
I sent the East River Park contract back due to serious unresolved issues, yet the City moved ahead. I’m still concerned that the community isn’t being heard, and actions like today’s don’t help.

This morning, this NYPD Police Captain won’t tell the activists who ordered the TRO to be prohibited (play video).
Captain Worobey won’t tell community who ordered him to violate TRO prohibiting any more destruction in East River Park today. @CarlinaRivera @ChrisMarteNYC @yuhline @HarveyforNY @galeabrewer @bradhoylman @BrianKavanaghNY @KeithPowersNYC @MarkLevineNYC @GrandStreetDems @DIDNYC pic.twitter.com/q9M6fH05zN

What type of government orders for NYS Court ordered documents to be ignored? Fascist Democrats. These aren’t socialists, like Bernie Sanders.
Please come to North gate again. Just south of Houston entrance. Bear witness to this crime. Mayor, contractors, DDC, NYPD violating state issued TRO. @1000treesNYC @ERPAction @AllieRyanNYC @kirstentheodos pic.twitter.com/nn0z9HcQmK

What’s the urgency with killing off the trees in this park?
NYC's pols have shut residents out of East River Park's plans. The tennis courts and amphitheater will be privatized, car parking will be next. If NYC is so proud of its plan, why was there no ribbon cutting ceremony? #SaveEastRiverPark #ClimateActionNow

They must have thought if they could say in court, “Ooops we didn’t realize there was a restraining order” that the court would order in their favor.
Thank God for people like the East River Park Activists who work up early this morning to save their park. Yet, these activists are being arrested -even senior citizens when they have a TRO from the state. How is that even possible?
Happening right now. TREES COMING DOWN ! ARRESTS! VIOLATIONS! Come to #EastRiverPark ?@CarlinaRivera? ?@AllieRyanNYC? ?@ERPAction? ?@1000treesNYC? pic.twitter.com/l3EoLfR1ng

Strange times we are living in when leaders can’t stand up and do the right thing for NYC.
