Yonkers Council seeks Ridge Hill compromise
The Journal News
By Michael Gannon
Since developer Bruce Ratner issued an ultimatum to the City of Yonkers — approve the Ridge Hill plan by June 15 or we're walking — the City Council has been trying to broker a compromise that will satisfy the County's concerns over traffic congestion.
Will Ratner extend the deadline to tomorrow's City Council meeting? Will it make a difference?
NoLandGrab: Win, lose or draw, Brooklynites have to be impressed, and a little envious, by how each development concerning the controversial $600-million Ridge Hill project has been covered by the Westchester daily press.
It takes an army of "screamers" and "kooks" to get the cynical NYC press to even breathe a word about a $3.5-billion project with the most expensive arena ever and, as far as anyone can tell, the most dense residential environment in NYC.
