Power outages in Park Slope, Gowanus, and Boerum Hill.

Con Edison told us on a call that full restoration would be by 7 a.m. today, but that timeline has since changed. They are now estimating restoration by 7 p.m. this evening, and we have made clear that we do not expect it to take longer than that. We will keep you posted as we learn more.

On Monday we’ll vote YES on the Brooklyn Marine Terminal Vision Plan. After decades of neglect, this plan finally charts a future for our waterfront that reflects community priorities: housing, climate resilience, transportation, jobs, and accountability.

This is part 1 of a three-phase, fifteen-year process — a long-term commitment to shaping the future of Brooklyn’s waterfront.

Proud to stand alongside a coalition that made this possible:

We stood with Yorkers For Parks (thank you Kathy Park Price), , Council , Karen Blondel, Friends of Red Hook Pool, and many others to celebrate good news: the Red Hook Pool will reopen this Sunday, August 17, 2025, after months of being shut down.

“Late good news is still good news; especially when it comes at the result of collective community action like this. The Red Hook Pool, and all public pools, are great resources and we will continue to advocate for them not just that they open on time but they are open longer in both hours and days of the year.” —

🕒 Regular hours:
▪️ Session 1: 11 AM – 3 PM
▪️ Session 2: 4 PM – 7 PM

🏊‍♀️ Public pools are vital. We’ll keep pushing for expanded hours and seasons so more New Yorkers can access them.
