"It had been decades since Coney Island saw any significant investment and the famed amusement district had dwindled as a result."

The City of New York rezoned Coney Island in 2009 in an attempt to revitalize the neighbourhood by preserving some of its historic attractions while encouraging the development of hotels, restaurants and retail stores in the amusement district and affordable housing in the surrounding residential neighborhoods.

The redevelopment has had detractors, stirring the same sort of feelings as did the transformation of Times Square from an edgy neighbourhood into a family-friendly tourist attraction.

While some saw the Coney Island of the recent past as old-fashioned and seedy, others saw it as an authentic and charming neighbourhood where small-scale entrepreneurs could flourish.
