Community members seek irrigation and gardener support to maintain Petrosino Square's greenery.

Manhattan Community Board 2 on Wednesday passed a slate of unanimous resolutions supporting Washington Square Park dog‑run renovations, the creation of Hudson Square Plaza, a West 3rd/Bleecker safety redesign, expansion of school slow zones under 'Sammy's Law,' and transmitted numerous license renewal recommendations to city and state agencies.

Park conservancy and the borough commissioner told Community Board 2 that a post‑raid NYPD detail — about 30 officers per shift, with an eight‑officer leadership team — remains stationed near the park's northwest corner; conservancy officials said programming and horticulture, not enforcement, are their primary tools.
