Stuckey and Baker on the Brian Lehrer Show
WNYC
Brian Lehrer Show
820 AM/93.9 FM
10AM
With over 4000 pages, the Environment Impact Statement for the Atlantic Yards Development Project offers more ammunition in the battle between the developers and the neighborhood preservationists.
This morning, Forest City Ratner Atlantic Yards Development Group President Jim Stuckey will be interviewed by Brian Lehrer on WNYC.
Stuckey will be followed at 10:20 by Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn's lead attorney, Jeffrey S. Baker.
DDDB points out on its website:
Jim Stuckey's firm and its ominpresent consultant AKRF has worked on this environmental review for 2.5 years, at least. The document is 15 inches thick. Mr. Baker, like all of the rest of us, just got our hands on it around 1pm on July 18th.
No worries, the document doesn't pass the laugh test, neither does the 36 days until the public hearing on the document.
NoLandGrab: For Stuckey's sake, we hope he brings along his 15-inch thick crib sheet (the Draft Environmental Impact Statement), because last time he was interviewed by Lehrer, he got busted by Brooklyn Views for misunderestimating the floor area ratio of the project.
