Opponents of a proposed homeless shelter in Gravesend vowed to take their protests to Mayor Eric Adams’ residence at Gracie Mansion if their demands to scrap the plans are not met, as they enter their 41st consecutive day of demonstrations at the site on 25th Avenue and 86th Street.
Local residents have been monitoring the site since construction stalled following a July 17 confrontation between protesters and police, which resulted in the arrest of several southern Brooklyn residents, including Council Member Susan Zhuang, who was charged with assault for allegedly biting a police officer during the protest.
