Project Footprint expanded
After representatives from Forest City Ratner met and listened to the community the project footprint has EXPANDED during the past year.
Here's an overlay comparison of the two plans (old footprint in blue and the expansion over Flatbush Ave. in red). Yes folks, that's FLATBUSH AVE. running through the densest portion of the new site plan.

The area in green is the Brooklyn Bears Community Garden that fought for its survival against Ratner once before. There is no word on what designs Ratner has for the cherished green space, though community activists have recounted tales of Ratner trying to "steal their air rights."
