Coney Is. land-grab cheers

The city’s plan to seize about 75,000 square feet of land in Coney Island won key support on Monday at a public hearing where even those who oppose eminent domain in principle said it is time to put the longdormant property to use.

About 65 people attended the hearing at Coney Island Hospital on the plan to seize three seaside lots — including a vacant tract that once housed the original Thunderbolt roller coaster.

“This project is critical for the longterm sustainability of Coney Island,” said Adriana Scotti, a vice president of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce.
