Part of Brooklyn Bridge Park is expected to open by the end of 2009, but officials say the project only has enough money to complete two-thirds of the plans by 2012. Rising costs and legal battles have delayed the project and doubled the cost, leaving the 1.3-mile waterfront park with a $300 million price tag. Meanwhile, a small park has popped up on Pier 1, on the former site of a warehouse. [NYDN] and [Curbed]
