Atlantic Yards Foes March Across Bridge to City Hall
From the Brooklyn Daily Eagle:
With some saying they were encouraged by the defeat of the West Side Stadium, several hundred opponents of Forest City Ratner’s Atlantic Yards arena/highrise housing plans marched from Borough Hall over the Brooklyn Bridge to City Hall Tuesday, to stress their continued opposition to the plan.As reasons for their opposition, they said the project would be subsidized with taxpayer’s money, that there was little public input in the planning process, that the RFP process for the arena site was “stacked” in favor of Ratner, and that the development would change the low-rise character of the neighborhood.
