The city has announced that they will be using a portion of Asphalt Green as a crane clearance zone in the process of building the east side's contested Marine Transfer Station. "My heart just stopped ... how do I plan? Thirty-three schools use these fields; there are 20 teams in our own league. This was absolute news to us, that the field was being touched in any way," Asphalt Green's executive director told the Daily News. Asphalt Green, who rents their space from the Parks Department, are now considering legal action against the city. [NYDN; previously]
