Name: Brian O'Keefe on Jan 17, 2008Comments: The disruption to the various youth sport leagues (soccer, baseball & Football) would be enormous if they were disbanded for two years while the building work was to take place. The volunteer structures and players that support the leagues would disipate and take years to rebuild if they ever recovered. Pier 40 is a very valuable asset to the community - PLEASE NO NOT DISTROY IT BY ALLOWING THE RELATED DEVELOPMENT. Thanks, Brian O'keefe (917) 257-6686Flag

Name: Markus Buri on Jan 17, 2008Comments: Pier 40 is an immensely important recreational place for families in the downtown area. I truly feel that the low-cost youth programs depending on access to Pier 40 (i.e. DUSC, GVLL, etc) represent a great equalizer for many New Yorkers. I urge you to view your decision from the eyes of New York's future - Visit Pier 40 on a Saturday and Sunday morning and you'll know what I mean... Thank you for your consideration, Markus BuriFlag

Name: Victoria H. McKenzie on Jan 17, 2008Comments: We have been fortunate enough to avail ourselves of the fields at Pier 40 for the past 8 years -- as our two daughters learned to play soccer and we forged friendships with many other families who we would never have had the opportunity to meet. We cheered our little ones when they first learned to kick their ball toward their opponent's goal rather than their own AND we huddled together, worried parents, as the smoke of the 9/11 attacks swirled in the not-so-distant pit a few blocks away -- telling one another that we were doing the righ thing by our kids, by coming together with brave faces and having fun -- just for our kids' sakes. Our daughters are now 10 and 13 and have literally found their athletic selves at Pier 40 -- we are forever grateful for the opportunities it has given us as a family. Please don't let it become an amusement center as there are plenty of those places in NYC already. For many of us, and for future families, it is a much-needed community place. Affordable, welcoming, stress-free and fun. It is unlike any other place for kids and famlies in fast-paced Manhattan. In fact, anything you could do to RE-INFORCE it is an athletic community for kids and parents, rather than a commercial venue for outsiders, would be a boon to families and to kids. Please. Keep it as a park..........Flag

Name: Jacalyn Dinhofer on Jan 20, 2008Comments: My 15 year old son played baseball with Greenwhich Village Little League for 8 years and this Spring 2008 will be his second year on the Stuyvesant High School Baseball team. Please continue to keep the Pier available for the children of this community to play sports in. It is the only available space for them to use for this purpose.Flag
