Elizabeth Street Garden on Instagram: "The City has served the anticipated eviction notice. While we have been expecting the notice to be served, we are very disappointed that @nycmayor and Deputy Mayor @mtorresspringer have refused to hold off on the eviction despite ongoing negotiations and thousands of letters from the public demanding they save the garden. We have directly communicated with Mayor Adams and Deputy Mayor Torres-Springer in good faith about our work with Councilmember Christopher Marte’s office to locate more options for affordable housing at private sites in the district. This is an effort to add to the existing proposal that preserves the garden in its entirety and provides more affordable units at city-owned sites. The private site proposal identifies multiple sites, some of which are just a few blocks away from the garden, that could each provide more than 123 units of affordable housing for seniors along with additional housing. The Mayor was given this proposal directly and visited one of these sites just after visiting the Garden on Tuesday, September 24. Mayor Adams and Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer are well aware that they can hold off on any eviction in order to work with us on both the public and private site proposals. At this point, they have chosen not to seriously consider a true win-win-win solution where there is no loss to the community. Now that the eviction has been served, we have 14 days. We continue to work with our legal team to address the eviction. Please stay tuned in for further updates."
