Elizabeth Street Garden advocates celebrated a temporary victory as an appellate court stayed the eviction order, allowing the garden to remain open for now.
For over 30 years, the Elizabeth Street Garden has offered tranquility and natural beauty amidst the city, appealing to a diverse range of visitors.
Despite local resistance, the city plans to replace the beloved greenspace with an affordable housing development, which could include units for homeless seniors.
Council Member Christopher Marte is collaborating with the garden's director to propose a solution that benefits both affordable housing and the community's greenspace.
