"Bad Apple" Award for the parks department

In honor of Earth Day, Natural Resources Defense Council has announced their second annual list of "Good Apple" and "Bad Apple" awards. It came as no surprise that they awarded the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation a "Bad Apple" award for their plans at Ridgewood Reservoir. Eric Goldstein, Director of NRDC's NY Urban Program, writes:
