Councilmember Foster 's district: Stood by her community gardeners
and made them permanent! Also helping with City-wide Legislation!

Badillo Rose Garden is preserved in its entirety where she stands.
Councilmember Foster tells all city agencies to move the planned building to where they want to relocate the community garden.

Councilmemer Arroyo's District: Needs huge
improvement in standing up to developers and preserving her community
green spaces. Major losses of community gardens as well as parks
(Yankee Stadium). Needs to follow through after stating her commitments.
