Sunset Park can haz Community Garden?

Sunset Park neighbors and colleagues Best View in Brooklyn report that there is interest in developing unused MTA property into a community garden:

Some Sunset Park residents want to grow stuff...lots of stuff. You know, things like vegetables and flowers and green things.
