Pols call for city review of Ratner’s arena

From the Brooklyn Papers:

Taking their first unified stance on developer Bruce Ratner’s Atlantic Yards plan, a delegation of City Council members from Brooklyn gathered on the steps of City Hall to call for a city-level review of the basketball arena, housing and office skyscraper project.

Councilwoman Letitia James, who represents the Prospect Heights neighborhood in which the 21-acre project would be built, led the brief press conference.

The project depends upon the state’s condemnation of up to 10 acres of private property as well as the purchase of development rights to build over Metropolitan Transportation Authority rail yards.
