The need for a Scenic Landmark designation is more important than ever, as any alteration to the style and composition of the boardwalk would irreparably damage its character and diminish its historical value. Presently, Prospect Park, Eastern Parkway and Ocean Parkway are the only three Scenic Landmarks in Brooklyn. While we do not question their significance, we do argue that the Riegelmann Boardwalk is equally iconic and historically significant and merits the protections that landmark status affords.
