In this episode, Ofer speaks with Carlo Scissura, President & CEO of the New York Building Congress. Carlo was recently appointed Chair of the NYC Mayor’s committee in charge of evaluating the plan to fix the crumbling BQE. He has been a key player during Brooklyn’s redevelopment and construction boom over the last two decades. Born and raised in Bensonhurst, Carlo is truly rooted in Brooklyn and his career has reflected so. From real estate attorney in Dyker Heights, to chief of staff to the larger than life Brooklyn borough president, Marty Markowitz and then head of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, his story is one of passion for NYC’s most exciting borough.

The Brooklyn skyline has changed dramatically over the years as more and more buildings rise from the earth. This has been especially true downtown ever since a 2004 rezoning paved the way for a development boom that would come to define the internationally-sought after borough.

We avoided the L-pocalypse, but now we have a BQEmergency on our hands. Carlo Scissura, head of the BQE panel, joins MacKenzie to talk about much-needed fixes for what might be the most loathed stretch of roadway in the country. And then, a new documentary highlights the city’s extremely dedicated cat-lovers who care for our feline friends living in the streets. Hear from directors Steven Lawrence and Rob Fruchtman and cat rescuer Latonya “Sassee” Walker about the film, and see how well they fare in a Cats: The Musical personality quiz.

It’s an issue that will redefine our city’s transportation, real estate values, public health and a host of other factors. The planning process for the rehabilitation of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway has taken another turn. The city recently put together a panel of 16 experts to finally bring a measure of urban planning to what has been a chaotic, whiplash-inducing process.In this week's episode we'll be speaking with the panel’s chairman Carlo Scissura, as well as our reporter Mary Frost to talk about a rousing town hall held last week that discussed the issue. Organizer Hilary Jager from a Better Way NYC and Richard Zeigler from the Brooklyn Heights Association will also come on. Interview with Carlo Scissura at 1:30Interview with Mary Frost at 5:18Interview with Hilary Jager at 9:40Interview with Richard Zeigler at 11:23Our host Lawrence Madsen is a native New Yorker. His family and friends have told him since he was 17 that he has a voice for radio. When he saw an opportunity to do just that, he jumped for it. He is dearly fond of the Brooklyn Eagle. He attended Columbia University, and volunteers with the disaster relief group Team Rubicon.Subscribe to Brooklyn this Week:iTunesSpotifyStitcher
