Excerpt:
“…Replanted as a meadow — the lightest possible touch on the land — the 1.7-acre cemetery has reopened to the public as the Naval Cemetery Landscape, an integral part of the growing Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway, a planned 14-mile path for bicyclists and pedestrians. …Mr. Steiner praised the Naval Cemetery Landscape. ‘The way the walkway is elevated is very respectful,’ he said, ‘and reflects that the land is sacrosanct.’“
