Hundreds of Brooklynites flooded City Hall recently to protest the city's slow action on buying land for Bushwick Inlet Park on the waterfront in North Williamsburg. In 2005, seeking to increase development in the area, Michael Bloomberg's administration approved plans to create a 28-acre park along the waterfront.
