Cleaning up new Coney

The city and the owners of the new Luna Park are making it a bumpy ride for some Coney Island mainstays hoping to be in on the fabled boardwalk's revival.
Inspectors this week began cleaning up the boardwalk, weeding out illegal food carts and issuing warnings about overflowing public trash cans.
Five businesses were warned their permits could be revoked if problems are not fixed soon, said Parks Department spokesman Philip Abrahamson.
The Post reported yesterday that Zamperla, the city's handpicked operator for Luna Park, is playing hardball with 11 businesses that must now come to it for new leases -- ordering them to submit plans by Aug. 31 justifying their return next season or risk being booted.
Some business owners welcome the clean sweep, claiming that some of their neighbors have for years illegally subleased boardwalk space to vendors who sell booze and snub city health codes.
