A Chorus of Cross Talk And Sniping : One Down And Just One More Yards Hearing to Go
Courier-Life
Stephen Witt
Proponents and opponents of developer Bruce Ratner’s Atlantic Yards project alternately cheered, booed and heckled each other in last week’s public hearing seeking input on the project’s Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS).But behind the drama of the hearing, held at the New York City College of Technology (Klitgord Auditorium), 285 Jay Street, were several interesting opinions on the 1,400-page DEIS document itself.
Among the more surprising of these opinions came from Borough President Marty Markowitz. Although he is a major supporter of the project, he recommended scaling it down considerably.
