Nearly 200 residents showed up today to protest the building of a garage entrance along 78th Street, which in 2015 was slated to be made fully car-free as the city and parks department reconstructed nearby Travers Park.

The community fought for over 10 years to make it happen and now it seems the city is backpedalling. So residents decided to let Koppel auto dealership know that they aren't going anywhere and will be protesting to re-reclaim the piece of street so that children and families can count on more safety in the park.
