Like Garden Traffic On Flatbush
Courier-Life
Imagine the traffic congestion surrounding Madison Square Garden on game day when the Brooklyn Nets are playing at their new arena near Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues.
A follow up article to last month's Borough Board meeting covering traffic around Atlantic Yards covers:
Sam Schwartz, regional transportation expert, former DOT commissioner and the consultant recently approached by Forest City Ratner to work on the transportation problems anticipated by Atlantic Yards, who promotes the comparison of traffic around the proposed project and Madison Square Garden in addition to the DOT's study of individual intersections.
Brian Ketcham from Community Consulting holds the opinion that traffic is already over capacity and that regional study and solutions will be necessary.
The next Borough Board Meeting, covering "Transportation," will be held this afternoon at 4pm.
