You can’t park here!  The dismayed developers of the Elizabeth Street Garden site are crying foul at the city’s move to declare the space as parkland, calling it “an act of naked executive power. ”  The suit, filed Wednesday in Manhattan Supreme Court, says that the move violates city charter rules for changes to the City Map, and seeks a restraining order to block the last-ditch effort made during Mayor Eric Adams’ lame duck era to halt the 123-unit senior housing project. 5 Developers are suing the city over Mayor Adams’ “lawless” last-ditch effort to prevent the development of the Elizabeth Street Garden site by declaring it parkland earlier this month.
