Friday morning, Van Cortlandt Park Alliance stood beside US Representative Ritchie Torres, NYS Assembly Member Jeffrey Dinowitz, NYC Council Member Eric Dinowitz, NYC Council Member Shekar Krishnan, New Yorkers for Parks, and Bronx Council for Environmental Quality to voice our strong opposition to the International Cricket Council’s plan to build a 20-acre temporary stadium in Van Cortlandt Park.
Christina Taylor, VCPA’s Deputy Director, spoke on behalf of the organization:
“Van Cortlandt Park Alliance says no to ICC’s outrageous plan to poach the people’s park for a year to build a structure the size of Yankee stadium with no public process, feasibility study, or respect for community input, and no plan for restoration or compensation.”
Thank you to Representative Ritchie Torres, Assembly Member Jeffrey Dinowitz, Council Member Eric Dinowitz for vowing to fight this proposal.
If you share our concerns, please take a moment to show your opposition by signing this online petition.
