"The Brooklyn Heights Promenade will be off-limits to local residents for the Macy's Fourth of July fireworks display this year, as it has been designated a VIP section for 4,000 city employees."
"Residents point out that the VIP seating at the Thanksgiving parade in Manhattan doesn't prevent locals from seeing the parade, while the Promenade takeover will lock out the entire neighborhood."
The Brooklyn Heights Promenade will not be accessible to residents for the Fourth of July fireworks display, as it is reserved for a VIP section for 4,000 city employees. Streets in the neighborhood will be closed, and residents will need to show photo ID to access restricted areas. This arrangement has infuriated locals, many of whom are canceling celebrations and facing uncertainty in their businesses. Significant disruptions are expected in the neighborhood with major street closures starting at 2 p.m. on the holiday.
