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.

Cabo Rojo Community garden, buldozed for the fourth time in its challenged life.
We had asked the councilmember to preserve this forested community
garden where it lives, and after 2 years of delays (eventually meeting
with chief of staff), and eventual disclaimer her attempt to help with
relocation fell short. Very similar to the loss of two other previous community
gardens below.

Aguada, Councilmemer Arroyo assisted with a NYCHA
relocation. the proposed site is smaller, and has less legal rights, on
the other hand
it is close to the Seniors. Garden was destroyed by sanitation in
Spring 2007 after a year of waiting for a relocation. The community
gardeners are still waiting for a timeline or a contract.

Vogue community garden, bulldozed and moved on top of half of Bush, Community Garden (adjacent endangered community garden).

Rock community garden- Struggling community garden
repeatedly set back by city agents destroying the new plants. The
members are working on a budget plan and working to garner more members.
