Construction Halted on Marsha P. Johnson Park After Outcry
Family, locals, and activists all spoke out about the space. March 08 2021 9:15 AM EST
Construction has halted on the overhaul of the new Marsha P. Johnson Park in Brooklyn after the family of the late activist joined community members who strongly objected to the design and rushed nature of the project. According to a report in
Gay City News, Johnson’s relatives, Black trans activists, and members of the community objected to the lack of green space in the park and also objected to th proposed acre of concrete slab covered featuring a rainbow-striped thermoplastic mural. They also mentioned the lack of transparency or input from the community around the venture. The project closed the park for construction in January over the objections of locals after only a few days notice from state officials.
