The push to landmark the Coney Island boardwalk is gaining steam through a petition started by two city councilman who submitted an official proposal to the Landmarks Preservation Commission. They want the 91-year-old destination deemed a "scenic landmark" to protect the wooden walkway from being replaced with concrete and plastic. Brooklyn's borough president supports the campaign, noting that millions of people make "the pilgrimage" to see the boardwalk. [Brooklyn Paper; previously]
