While most residents say they love the colorful bench, there have also been complaints that it could pose safety threats to children or become a magnet for the homeless.
Members of the Ditmas Park community are coming together to save a colorful new bench that was installed by a local designer in June.A park bench with vibrant colors sitting outside local businesses is the centerpiece of conversation and a little controversy in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn.
"It’s pretty great, there’s not a lot of public seating around in this neighborhood, so there’s not a lot of places to chill," said one neighbor. The Department never confirmed the violation per FOX 5 NY's request, but we’re told complaints stemmed from fears the bench could be a magnet for the homeless and pose safety threats to children.
