This month’s Community Board 2 Parks Committee meeting will finally address the issues that have been going on with the Washington Square Park artists and their removal from the Fountain Plaza: “Discussion with a NYC Department of Parks & Recreation Parks Enforcement Patrol representative about rules and enforcement in Washington Square Park.”
PARKS & WATERFRONT Meeting
Wednesday, 12/4 @ 6:30 PM – 3 Washington Square Village, Conference Room (near Bleecker & LaGuardia) – Option to Access via Zoom Videoconference
WSP Blog Ed. Note: the room to attend in person is pretty small (an outcome of Covid but seems time to move back to a larger room) so it may be booked. Zoom is an option.
Also on the agenda: A law to prohibit certain electric bikes and e-scooters in parks, Jefferson Market Garden, and New Business.
