VOTE FOR FUNDING FOR BARNETT NEWMAN TRIANGLE AND PS 234

Planters for Barnett Newman Triangle, the neglected wedge of hardscape on Sixth Avenue that neighbors have recently adopted, and PS 234’s auditorium curtains made the short list for the lump of money Councilman Chris Marte has dedicated in his “participatory budgeting” account. Neighbors have until Sunday, April 6, to vote.

NEIGHBORS ARE ORGANIZING TO REVAMP BARNETT NEWMAN TRIANGLE

Barnett Newman Triangle, the wedge of concrete formed where Sixth Avenue and Church Street fork between Franklin and White, is finally getting some attention. Stepping into the void created by DDG Partners, which seems to have reneged on a deal to redevelop the plaza in exchange for a variance at 100 Franklin, several longtime Tribecan have created a 501c3 — Friends of Barnett Newman Triangle — to get the ball rolling on a greener and more accessible public space there.
