Where for art thou park land?

From Lost in the Ozone comes word that the Kissena Corridor Park, though vacated by NY Hospital which had used it as a temporary parking lot, is still not restored.

The Kissena Corridor Park has one of the largest community gardens, if I'm not mistaken, in NYC. (Maybe Frau Obama will visit?)

The local civic associations did not want this park used by HYHQ as as a parking lot. Against their wishes, CB#7's District Manager, Marilyn Bitterman, brokered the deal with NYHQ to use the Kissena Corridor as a temporary parking lot. (Probably for a favor from NYHQ. It was a well know fact that Bitterman was looking for a job for her husband at the time) Nevertheless, the Park Land was supposed to be returned to its original use.

If NYHQ has not kept their part of this deal, then NYHQ should be in court with the City of New York and Bitterman should be fired!
