Lawsuit to save Fort Greene Park trees

A $24 million city project to redesign Brooklyn’s Fort Greene Park is facing legal opposition from local residents. The plan calls for the removal of 78 trees to make way for pedestrian plazas and increased accessibility, but opponents say the project will harm the environment and community health. Residents have filed a lawsuit, arguing the tree loss will impact air quality, wildlife, and shade in a neighborhood already affected by asthma and heat. FOX 5’s Kendall Green reports.
