For those wondering where the slides came from, it was this event:

You'll note the sentence that says the basins "are among the greatest unused inaccessible natural-protected spaces in the city."

And here I thought this whole time that it was used and accessed by nature, which was the whole point of stopping development. This sounds very Robert Moses-esque. Next they'll be calling it "underutilized."

These slides were presented by NYC H2O during a discussion sponsored by the Queens Museum.

I, for one, did not work to save the reservoir so that nature could be replaced by a performance space and playground.
