ALBANY – Four parcels of property may be incorporated into an ambitious New York University expansion project in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village without violating principles of the proper use of public parkland, the state Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.
The 7-0 ruling validates the position of New York City and the private university that the four pieces of property—now used as a playground, park, community garden and a dog run—were not meant to be permanently dedicated as parkland. If so, reuse of the properties would be subject to specific legislative approval under the state’s Public Trust Doctrine.
