For most of its history, the neighborhood of Spring Creek was considered the place where "the city came to an end",
Spring Creek is part of Brooklyn Community District 5, and its primary ZIP Codes are 11207, 11208, and 11239.[1]
Location
Spring Creek comprises the southeastern section of
To the south of the Belt Parkway are the Pennsylvania Avenue and Fountain Avenue Landfills (PAL/FAL).[12] The two landfills were 130-foot (40 m) high man-made peninsulas created from former marshland and open water. The 110-acre (45 ha) Pennsylvania Avenue Landfill opened in 1956 while the 297-acre (120 ha) Fountain Avenue Landfill was opened in 1961 respectively. The Fountain Avenue Landfill (also simply called the Spring Creek Landfill)[13] served as one of five major city facilities for regular refuse during its operation, along with the Fresh Kills and Brookefield Landfills in Staten Island; a facility in Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx; and another one in Edgemere, Queens. The landfills closed around 1985. The two sites have since undergone restoration and are now part of Shirley Chisholm State Park and Spring Creek Park.
Most of Spring Creek and Starrett City fall under the 11239 ZIP Code, but some portions of Spring Creek north of Flatlands Avenue, as well as the Brooklyn Developmental Center, fall under the 11207, and 11208 ZIP Codes.[14]
History
Early settlement
Prior to European colonization, what is now Spring Creek consisted of salt marshes and several creeks, which drained into
The first development in the Spring Creek area took place in the 1890s, a 30-acre (12 ha) farm built by the Cozine family, the likely namesake of Cozine Avenue. This farm included a house and stable at the modern-day intersection of Elton Street and Vandalia Avenue.
Early development
Beginning in the 1920s, the city planned to develop a large ship and rail terminal along Jamaica Bay, particularly along the Paerdegat Basin in nearby Canarsie, to relieve port operations in the greater New York Harbor. The project would have included construction of new rail facilities to connect with the Long Island Rail Road, New York Connecting Railroad, and a proposed rail tunnel to Staten Island.[19][20][21] Around this time, a street grid was mapped in Spring Creek, though most of the streets had yet to be constructed.[19] In 1930, Spring Creek Park and the Shore Parkway portion of the Belt Parkway were proposed by Robert Moses, along with several other parks and highways.[16][17][22] Land for both projects along Jamaica Bay in the area was acquired via eminent domain in 1938, and Shore Parkway opened in 1940, with an interchange to the south end of Pennsylvania Avenue.[10][5][2][19][16][17] This put an end to the proposed Jamaica Bay seaport.[23] Later plans by Robert Moses in the 1950s called for Spring Creek Park to extend to Cross Bay Boulevard in Howard Beach, Queens and include a new beach and boat basin.[24]
The Milford Street Landfill began operations in the 1930s, occupying much of the area where the Gateway Center now sits.[5][25]: 26 The Milford Street Landfill was closed in 1950.[5] This area later became known as the Vandalia Dunes due to its sandy landscape, and became a habitat for the Henslow's sparrow and other bird species.[26] The South Shore Incinerator at Forbell Street and Wortman Avenue was dedicated on June 30, 1954,[27][28] and the Pennsylvania and Fountain Avenue Landfills were opened in 1956 and 1961 respectively,[19][29] on land previously earmarked for Spring Creek Park.[10][24] Ash from the incinerator was used as additional fill for the marshes.[25]: 15 A sewage treatment plant adjacent to Hendrix Creek was also opened around this time,[5][30][4] while refuse was used to landfill the future Spring Creek Park.[31]
In spite of the new highway, Spring Creek Basin, as the area was then called,[10][32] continued to remain undeveloped while other local areas were extensively built up. This was in part due to its remoteness from the city's focal points (such as Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn), its distance away from the nearest rapid transit lines, the presence of the landfills, incinerator, and water treatment plant in the area, and noise from the nearby Idlewild Airport (since renamed as John F. Kennedy International Airport).[10][2][4][19] A 1943 city profile called the area "Brooklyn's least populated district", with many paper streets remaining as mapped but not constructed.[10] Smoke and odor from the incinerator and landfills, meanwhile, were reported to extend to the Queens neighborhoods of Howard Beach and Ozone Park.[33][34] The remoteness of the area led it to be used as an illegal dumping ground for waste. The territory, particularly the landfills, is also said to have been used for dumping corpses, most notably by Murder, Inc. and the Gambino crime family;[2][19][35][36] human remains from modern incidents have been unearthed as recently as 2013.[19][36][37]
Urban renewal and development
In 1967, the area south of
Following community protests, and seepage of contaminated oil into Jamaica Bay, the Pennsylvania and Fountain landfills ceased municipal waste operations in 1979 and 1985 respectively, after which they were absorbed into the Gateway National Recreation Area.[12][19][29][41] On June 25, 1996, the New York City Council amended the original Fresh Creek Urban Renewal Plan to facilitate the Gateway Estates plan, a massive mixed-use proposal to redevelop 227 acres of landfill south of Flatlands Avenue. Expanding on the 1967 plan, it proposed to construct a 640,000-square-foot (59,000 m2) retail development and 2,385 units of affordable housing.[5][30][38] Ground broke on the Gateway Center shopping mall on November 16, 2000,[42] and it opened on October 1, 2002.[43][44] Restoration of the Pennsylvania and Fountain Avenue Landfills meanwhile began in March 2002.[45]
In early 2007, the second phase of the Gateway Estates project (Gateway Estates II) was proposed, which included a 605,000 square feet (56,200 m2) expansion of the Gateway Center, 2,385 additional affordable housing units, and a new public school facility.[5][30][38][46] The school facility, Spring Creek Educational Campus, opened in fall 2012.[47] Gateway Center II opened in stages beginning in late 2014.[48]
Housing
Starrett City
The development was designed by
Nehemiah Spring Creek
Nehemiah Spring Creek, or Spring Creek Nehemiah, is one of two affordable housing developments built under the Gateway Estates plan (along with Gateway Elton). Located south of Flatlands Avenue and north of Gateway Center II between Elton and Erskine Streets, the neighborhood consists of
The land was originally assigned by the city to the
Gateway Elton
Gateway Elton Street sits at the west end of Nehemiah Spring Creek, on Elton Street between Flatlands Avenue and the Gateway Center. The three-phase affordable-housing project features six-story apartment buildings with retail space on the ground level. The buildings utilize electricity from solar panels affixed to the roofing. The first phase of the project, featuring 197 rental units, was completed in 2012. The second phase broke ground on May 2, 2013.[5][64][65] Construction on the third phase started on January 15, 2015.[66] and a housing lottery for the project was held upon its completion in July 2016.[67]
Spring Creek Gardens
Spring Creek Gardens is a third low-income housing complex in the northeast corner of Spring Creek near the border with
Industry and commerce
Several industrial and commercial structures are located in the northeastern portion of the area east of Fountain Avenue and south of Linden Boulevard, the former Plunders Neck area. At 803 Forbell Street in this part of the neighborhood, the South Shore Incinerator, also known as the Forbell Street Incinerator, was active from 1954 to the 1980s.[27][28][33][69][70] Other structures in this area include:
- Spring Creek Auxiliary Water Pollution Control Plant (Spring Creek AWPCP), operated by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP).[30][71][72]
- Spring Creek Yard Waste Composting Facility, operated by the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) at the former incinerator site.[69][71][73] The incinerator facility is now used as a garage for cleaning and derelict vehicle storage.[74] Two other DSNY facilities are located west of Fountain Avenue, at Milford Street and at Georgia Avenue.[75] The Georgia Avenue location is also a former incinerator plant, having operated from about 1920 through at least the mid-1930s.[76]
- MTA Bus Company.[6]
- United States Postal Service Brooklyn Processing and Distribution Center, also known as the Brooklyn P&DC, the Brooklyn General Mail Facility, or simply the Postal Facility, at 1050 Forbell Street. Constructed in 1991, it occupies a large area between the bus depot and DSNY facility.[5][18][77]
Other structures in the rest of Spring Creek include:
- 26th Ward Water Pollution Control Plant, also operated by the NYCDEP, in Starrett City on the shore of Hendrix Creek. It was opened in the 1950s.[5][30]
- Flatlands Fairfield Industrial Park, north of Flatlands Avenue.[30][4]
Parks and recreation
Moe Finklestein Athletic Complex (also known as the Thomas Jefferson High School Field), located on Flatlands Avenue between Essex Street and Erskine Street, is used by the schools of Thomas Jefferson Educational Campus and other schools in PSAL competition. The complex was created as part of the Fresh Creek Renewal Plan.[5][47]
Berriman Playground, a .96-acre (0.39 ha) park on Berriman Street between Vandalia Avenue and Schroeders Avenue,[78] opened in 2019. Its design allows rain water from the playground to collect in a rain garden.[79]
Spring Creek Park is operated by both the city and the federal government. It consists of man-made parkland, marshland along the Jamaica Bay Shore, and the former Pennsylvania and Fountain Avenue Landfills.[5][16]
Shirley Chisholm State Park, a 407-acre (165 ha) state park, is located atop the Pennsylvania and Fountain Avenue Landfills south of the Belt Parkway. The Pennsylvania Avenue section opened in July 2019, and the Fountain Avenue expansion is expected to open in 2021.[80]
Retail
There are two major shopping malls in the area:
- Gateway Center, located on Erskine Street and Gateway Drive across from the Brooklyn Developmental Center. The two-part suburban-style complex was built as the retail component of Gateway Estates. The southern portion opened in 2002, and the northern (Gateway Center II) in 2014.[5][43][48]
- Spring Creek Towers Shopping Center, located in Starrett City.
