We’ve talked about the turf war raging between city and state over who would control the new Brooklyn Bridge Park, but looks like things have finally come to a head. This week, the city took the reigns of the project, which means we should be seeing the opening ceremony sooner rather than later. According to the NY Post,

The deal came with two major caveats – an agreement that the Bloomberg Administration contributes $55 million to finish the $350 million park in the next fiscal year, and the city will explore other options for funding the parks mandate to be self-sustaining. In other words, plans to construct housing on Pier 6 and John Street to pay for maintenance of the park are on hold while a new board explores potential alternative revenue sources.

Supposedly, we can also look forward to an ice rink, a floating pool and a year-round recreational bubble. Oh, and unlike Fulton Ferry Park, Brooklyn Bridge Park is set to stay open until 1am for after dark revelers and dog walkers.
