Carroll Street Bridge Proposals

The Carroll Street Bridge is the second bridge crossing Brooklyn's Gowanus Canal, situated between the Union Street and Third Street Bridges. It is the most interesting of the Gowanus Canal Bridges in that it is the only wooden bridge of the bunch and the oldest of three remaining retractable bridges in the United States (see Untapped New York article).

"Troubled Water

Diving into the myths of the Gowanus Canal

CATFISH WITH THREE EYES lived in the Gowanus Canal. I can say this with confidence because I have seen the evidence.

The catfish was shiny and pitch-dark. After a fisherman hooked it and reeled it out of the brackish water, it lay splatted on the Brooklyn sidewalk next to what appeared to be a discarded slice of pizza. This scene was captured on video and sent to a local news site from an anonymous aol.com email address."

✧ Gowanus Canal ✧

The Gowanus Canal is a 1.8-mile-long (2.9 km) canal in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, on the westernmost portion of Long Island. It was created in the mid–19th century from local tidal wetlands and freshwater streams, and by the end of that century was very polluted due to heavy industrial use.

More from the backlog. A scorching summer day spent wandering Gowanus in 2011. At one point, I ran out of water and could only find a beauty salon. They were quite nonplussed, but I enjoyed their air conditioning. This will be looking south from Ninth Street towards the BQE. The Gowanus Dredgers are still around to rent canoes to you!

Rezoning the neighborhood surrounding the #GowanusCanal will result in 8,500 badly needed rental apartments including 3,000 "affordable" units at the cost of greatly reducing the beautiful view of downtown #Brooklyn from the Union Street Bridge.
