The Brooklyn Paper reports that the city is considering a proposal to do away with the portion of Union Ave. between Driggs and Bayard that runs through a section of McCarren Park. Those behind the proposal believe that the 33,800 square ft. space can create a more united park and hope the “demapping” and rezoning can happen this summer.

As Brooklyn Paper notes, the stretch of Union Ave. is currently home to a year-round greenmarket. It’s unclear whether the market will continue to operate in the new space or move to a new location.
