And city hall stresses 35 parks in lowincome neighborhoods have been renovated in just the last year. But during his mayoral campaign, bill de blasio supported a more ambitious plan to force the private operators of central park, the highline, and other welloff parks to contribute 20 of their budgets to help fix up parks in poor areas.

Lot of things, that something may have gone wrong at altitude, that the pilot got down and Something Else went wrong or some mistake wasasade and the aiairaft went down. Its really early in this to figure out exactly what happened very good aircraft, paula. You mentioned the altitude. Contact. Any idea what the wreckage will tell us, david . Reporter absolutely. That tells you that the plane broke up at altitude. If it more compact it means maybe the pilot was trying to land the aircraft and weve had one report it broke into two pieces.
