Though it comes too late to benefit any of those businesses that were recently evicted, the bedraggled Coney Island Boardwalk is getting its long-promised repairs courtesy of the Parks Department. The new platform, made of "pre-cast concrete slabs and new sustainably harvested wood decking," will be done in 2010. Maybe one day there will be a new Astroland to complement the new Boardwalk. Dare to dream! [GL]
