Last Wednesday, a private developer erected a fence through the Children's Magical Garden on the Lower East Side, severing the park and blocking off his part of the property. Neighbors are upset, and they will be going before the local community board to save the garden. They want the city to transfer the remaining 2/3 of the green space to the Parks Department for permanent protection, and they want to offer a land swap to the developer to regain the lost third.
