The developer looking to build a casino in Coney Island is hoping to clear a final hurdle to be considered for one of three downstate gaming licenses.

Representatives from "The Coney" went before the New York City Council Land Use committee on Thursday as it reviews the application to make changes to the city map.

As News 12 reported, The Coney Development is looking to "de-map" or essentially close a portion of Bowery Street and purchase air rights to build pedestrian bridges between buildings.

This plan has faced opposition by some members in the community.

In January, the de-mapping application was rejected by Community Board 13's Land Use committee - and Central Amusement, which runs Luna Park, issued a letter last week opposing the application.

Coney Island residents on both sides of the issue made their voices heard at Thursday's public hearing.

Some are opposing the proposal because they worry the casino will devastate local businesses, increase crime and traffic and limit access to the beach.

Others support the addition of a casino, hoping for more jobs, funding for local schools and programs.

No decision was made at the meeting, and it's unclear how soon the committee will take a vote on the application.

The Coney must submit its proposal to the state by June 27, and it needs City Council approval.

The New York State Gaming Commission is expected to award gaming licenses by the end of the year.
