Sorry for the double email, I had misread your email Andrew! I see now it's
the parking lot not the park that has been comandeered.

Do we know if news of the NYPD's commandeering of the West Pond was posted
with advanced notice? Also wondering on what legal basis the NYPD can close
off public access to a federal park for a "meet up."

[nysbirds-l] PSA: re Jamaica Bay North Channel Bridge Parking Lots…

2022-07-17 Thread Andrew Baksh 
I tweeted this earlier when I found out about it. Just wanted to pass this 
along here to give anyone who might be considering visiting the East Pond at 
Jamaica Bay a heads up.

The North Channel Bridge Parking lots are closed to the general public today as 
far as I know. They are being commandeered by the NYPD  for some event, which I 
believe to be an ATV meetup. The parking lot at the Visitor Center is available.

Bless up!

others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence." ~ Frederick
