In an article in our last issue (June 14-27) about the New York Botanical Garden’s plans for a new parking garage, we mistakenly reported information about the monthly membership fee the Garden will charge for overnight parking. According to Garden officials: “Pricing of the monthly membership for community access to overnight parking in the New York Botanical Garden’s new parking facility has not been determined yet. Once the new parking facility at the corner of Webster Avenue and Bedford Park Boulevard is open sometime in late 2009, the details of a monthly membership for overnight community parking will be developed including the actual fee. The then-current market price for monthly parking in local garages in the area will guide this decision.”
