Ash Wednesday Action: Stop the Desecration and Open Washington Square Park

On February 6, 2007, a community event was held at Judson church, a progressive Presbyterian church located directly across the street from the south side of the park. The event, publicized as "Ash Wednesday Action: Stop the Desecration and Open Washington Square Park!", was sponsored by Judson church and Open Washington Square Park Coalition and included a speech of condolence by the church senior minister Donna Schaper, musical performances, and a call to Mayor Bloomberg and the Parks Department Commissioner Benelope to repair, not redesign, the park. A videotape of the call was planned to be sent to Mayor Bloomberg. Afterwards, the attendants went outside and marched to the arch, carrying candles and flowers. The event was attended by more than 100 people.

Washington Square Park is a beautiful urban park in Manhattan. NYC is in an attempt to privatize it, but a group called Open Washington Square Park Coalition says no, leave the park open.

Statement Calling For Investigation of Parks Department
December 10, 2007
The Open Washington Square Park Coalition calls upon Comptroller
William Thompson to investigate the deliberate misrepresentation with
which the Parks Dept. received taxpayer funding for this unpopular
redesign scheme for Washington Square Park. If possible, we also ask
that the Comptroller’s office NOT certify the bid documents in front of
it for the $11 million Phase 1 redesign of Washington Square Park, but
instead use the subpoena powers of this office to investigate a
suspicious pattern of circumstances which have led Parks
Commissioner Adrian Benepe and his subordinates to repeatedly
deceive the New York City Council, the Community Board, and the
public.
In addition, we call upon New York City Council Speaker Christine
Quinn and Council Member Alan Gerson to stand behind their public
letter of August 6, 2007 to Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe, and
withhold capital funding for the Parks Department until it is willing to
disclose and submit for approval a true budget and plan for
Washington Square Park.
