Dear MayorBloomberg:
Coney Island’s rich history is in danger. Many of Coney Island’s remaining historic buildings are threatened with imminent demolition.
As these renderings (http://tiny.cc/2d0bv) show, the senseless destruction of these historic assets would be a squandered opportunity. Moreover, in the current economic climate these demolitions would blight the area with vacant lots and second-rate development for the foreseeable future.
Coney Island is an American treasure. Please act now, before it’s too late, to ensure its successful revitalization by protecting the best of its past.
Sincerely,

Coney Island is an important and historic landmark in Brooklyn. Lets keep our city, and communities in tact.
This park is the heart of New York, and the last piece of the old city. Please do not ruin it, as so many other places have been.
My grandfather took me here when I was a kid. You cant just tear down the history like it means nothing. Keep it standing please!!
Coney Island is iconic. Dont let them turn it into just another row of boring condos.
Enough with the wrecking balls. We need to respect what made Brooklyn special in the first place.
Save this beautiful and historical landmark
did it for you max
