The three developers sued the city in November, adding yet another skirmish in the long, drawn-out war over the garden. Now, according to court filings, the city and the spurned development team may be on the verge of an “amicable resolution” to settle the dispute. The narrow, nearly block-long parcel at the corner of Grand Street once considered a potential site for a new school. Mamdani said during his campaign that he supported building housing on the Elizabeth Street site, but so far he has not challenged his predecessors’ move to designate the lot as parkland. “At the same time, we are continuing to work toward a resolution of the lawsuit initiated under the previous administration concerning the Elizabeth Street Garden site.”
