"Sewage spills cut into beach time" Amy Zimmer, Metro
Sewage spills cut in to beach time, Amy Zimmer, Metro

Again this is a huge problem and anyone walking around the Lower East Side when it is raining can see when it remains it is like the East River can to the East Village.
Amy says in NYC "sewers were designed long ago to collect storm run off".
Well Mother Nature provides us the most natural resource for storm run off but the mayor keeps letting developers eat up every piece of green for the all mighty dollar green.
Infrastructure is old and the city is supersizing at a rapid pace and that was just one concern regarding St. Ann's but also for the entire city.

This has photo images you might like that also tell the story.
The New York Times did an article on gardens and the need for green as a natural way to absorb rain and I know it is posted here somewhere but really too tired to search.
There is so much more I want to post and talk about but I have to rest.
And dear Readers: Some of you have directly contacted me about how much you love the neighborhood, community and city and I consider you East Villagers and real New Yorkers because you care, you love the community and you actually come here and help us.
Thank you.
