Council member Rory Lancman plans to vote against Willets Point resolution

City Councilman Rory Lancman said he will vote against a resolution that would allow the Council to file an amicus brief opposing the de Blasio administration's wishes on the controversial Willets Point redevelopment.

The resolution has the support of Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and is likely to pass the 51-member body.

In a statement Tuesday afternoon, Lancman, a Queens Democrat, said he will oppose the measure when it comes before the Council on Wednesday.

Lancman said he sides with a lower court judge, who ruled this year that the Queens Development Group — the partnership between the Related Companies and Sterling Equities — cannot build a mall on a parking lot next to Citi Field.

This week, I joined Mayor de Blasio and Council Member Julissa Ferreras on a trip to Queens where we announced the official launch of the Flushing Meadows Corona Park Alliance. Home to the 1939 and 1964 World’s Fairs, Flushing Meadows Corona Park is the largest park in Queens, and the fourth largest park in New York City. Many people know about this park’s world class tennis and baseball stadiums, but Flushing Meadows Corona Park also hosts soccer, cricket, and football games. The Alliance will support and promote the upkeep and enhancement of the 900-acre park, and will be advised by an independent Community Advisory Board composed of local business and community leaders.

The Parks Department said the first round of work will be performed "to stabilize the structures."  http://dnainfo.com/new-york/20140630/corona/new-york-state-pavilion-restoration-set-begin-with-6m-upgrade
