del.icio.usGot trees? Local officials hope the city does — and they’ve scheduled an emergency meeting to figure out how to get new foliage planted quickly in tornado-devastated areas of Bay Ridge.
Hundreds of trees were lost in the Aug. 8 twister — and timing is everything. “We need to get these trees planted as soon as possible,” said Community Board 10 District Manager Josephine Beckmann. “Some areas have lost almost half their trees.” Trees can only be planted during spring and fall, so unless the city acts quickly, refoliating the barren areas would have to wait until next year.
But CB10 is going to take its case to the Parks Department’s Brooklyn Borough Commissioner, Julius Spiegel, who will be at the emergency meeting.
The tornado touched down near 67th Street and Fourth Avenue.
CB10 Parks Committee (621 86th St., between Fort Hamilton Parkway and Gatlin Place), Sept. 6, 7:45 pm. Call (718) 745-6827 for info.
