Council Member Shaun Abreu asked about the percentage of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden that would continue to receive the same amount of direct sunlight after the proposed development. Rowan Blaik, VP of Horticulture, was unable to provide specific figures immediately but offered to prepare a written submission with this information.

  • Blaik acknowledged the importance of this information for the committee's consideration.
  • The council member emphasized the relevance of this data for their decision-making process.

think that would be very relevant for this committee to have.
