On Sunday, Terri Cude and Dennis Gault celebrated their victory in the district leader election with a toast with Sara Jones (in hat) and other members of the LaGuardia Corner Gardens. The lushly planted open-space strip that the gardens are on was declared not to be parkland by the state’s highest court, which green-lighted the N.Y.U. 2031 project to proceed. Cude is co-chairperson of Community Action Alliance on N.Y.U. 2031, which has been battling the university’s mega-development plan for the two South Village superblocks.
