Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY – The district manager of the community board feels utmost disgust about the junked cars and giant pile of salt that are visible at the Brooklyn Navy Yard along Kent Avenue between Keap and Clymer Street.

Gerald Esposito wrote to the Navy Yard Development Corporation last month to voice our utmost disgust, at the eyesores and request that you take immediate action to remove this junkyard and sanitation facility, or provide fencing that will not display this blight to our community.
Indeed, from Kent Avenue, it is difficult for passersby not to notice the three-story salt pile covered by a cone-shaped shell and the disembodied auto parts among the skeletal remains of cars in various states of disrepair.
Navy Yard President and CEO Andrew Kimball said that Espositos complaints may be moot: the Navy Yard is redeveloping the six-acre site on the outskirts of the yards, though it could be a year before it seeks out developers.
The plan calls for industrial, commercial and retail space on the site after the salt pile and auction lot are relocated. [brooklynpaper]
Whatever happened with parking on Kent ave? Is anyone still fighting it? I belive it was also Board 1 that was involved then.
