The footbridge is, at first glance, unremarkable. It connects two sections of the Ingersoll public housing project in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, and its dull red walkway matches the brick apartment houses on either side. Underneath it are the roadway and bike lanes of Navy Street. Yet beyond the rusty chain links is a newly installed section of eight-foot-high fencing. The shiny metal reflects a fresh flash point in a swiftly changing neighborhood where luxury apartment towers have risen in the last few years. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
