Bruce reamed over Yards ‘concession’

Brooklyn Papers describes some of the grand changes to the Atlantic Yards proposal, as shown in the scoping document:

For example, the developer renamed the flashy, glass-sided edifice that will connect the arena to the Atlantic terminal mass transit complex. Now, that Frank Gehry-designed pedestrian mall will be referred to as the “Urban Room.”

Another modification shrunk a private open space on the rooftop of the arena from two acres to one, endangering an arena-top wildflower meadow shown in plans presented in November by the project’s landscape architect Lauri Olin.
