Why are Financial District/Seaport and Battery Park City being left out of press coverage of the zoning debate?
Busi, Kimberly
The coverage in the Downtown Express and The Tribeca Tribune continues to misrepresent this zoning debate as primarily concerning Tribeca residents and PS 234.
The reality is, however, that this debate concerns ALL LOWER MANHATTAN ZONING, as depicted in the maps you have published. Proposal 2 threatens to rip apart 2 cohesive neighborhoods: the Financial District and South Battery Park City.
By continuing to frame this as "North East" vs. "South West" Tribeca, you completely minimize that 3 neighborhoods - the Majority of Tribeca, Battery Park City, and the Financial District have joined in their support of Proposal 3.
I strongly urge you to take the opportunity to remedy this misrepresentation in your publications.
Sincerely,
