After the CBA, will Ratner negotiate a Neighborhood Benefits Agreement?

TimesRatnerReport reports on last night's Park Slope Civic Council monthly meeting, at which Atlantic Yards was on the agenda.

Forest City Ratner seems willing to meet and negotiate with representatives of Brownstone Brooklyn neighborhoods around the proposed Atlantic Yards footprint over issues like traffic and urban space. Still, it's unclear whether the company would hire an urban designer to facilitate a community planning process and doubtful that it would agree to not use eminent domain. Those are some conclusions from a meeting last night of the Park Slope Civic Council (PSCC), which sent a delegation to meet with the developer five weeks ago.
