Atlantic Yards Project has Long Shadow
WNYC
by Andrea Bernstein
Most of the attention on the Brooklyn Atlantic Yards development has focused on the proposed Nets arena. But the development, if approved, would actually stretch a mile along Atlantic Avenue. WNYC’s Andrea Bernstein takes a look at the block farthest from the arena – what’s there now, and what would change.
One interesting observation about how the threat of Atlantic Yards has already affected the neighborhood, by resident and President of Dean Street Block Association, Peter Krashes:
This is inside the footprint, right, a lot of the property has the appearance of being more dormant. That's one of the things that people miss when they walk here, they don't understand that what was a pretty active area has been emptied.
