Municipal Arts Society’s Suggestions Bring New Dimension to Ratner Debate
By Dennis Holt Brooklyn Daily Eagle
It was clear from comments made during the presentation, at least to this observer, that the MAS and Forest City staffs have had many productive discussions on these and other issues since October. Meeting with the press after the MAS presentations, Jim Stuckey, head of the project for Forest City, commended the society for its work and thoughts and said it agreed with MAS on three of the five principles — open park space, lively streets and transportation concerns.
If you're counting principles, Holt is saying that FCR does not agree that the project should “respect the existing neighborhoods,” and FCR believes they should “eliminate streets.”
