Yes, another meeting. I hope there will be some news on if it's getting designated as a superfund project or not! The use of the words "upcoming activities" gives me some hope.

I find that as a society we often come full circle. In 1889, yes 120+ years ago, a short-lived state commission to review canal conditions recommended that the best means of improving the canal was to fill it up. They were correct, and it is the only hope for this putrid waterway. The bulkhead is deteriorated, it will impede the dredging, decades will pass, disinvestment will be followed by blight, and the Gowanus will be left standing alone without any friends.
