New Poll! What would you like to see in a new development?

We just put up a new poll (left sidebar), which stems from the 230th Street development. The city is currently examining proposals, which you can read about here. Beyond voting, considering leaving comments as to what you'd like to see in the space (and why!) either at this post or at the story we've linked to.

Vote! Artificial or Natural Grass?

Seton Park, as seen from the Whitehall

If you check the top right side of the blog, you'll see a new poll. City Councilman G. Oliver Koppell has a couple hundred thousand dollars he wants to put toward repairing field conditions at Seton Park, but hasn't decided what type of playing surface should be built.

During a site visit over the summer, the group he was with was split on whether or not to make more of the grass artificial, or simply repair the natural grass that is already there. Currently, only the baseball infield is artificial.

Please vote! I'd like to get my own census for a story I'd like to write this week. Feel free to email us at bronxpolitics(at)gmail(dot)com if you'd like to comment for the paper, or just leave your feedback below for the website.
