New York Times: Atlantic Yards ‘Deserves To Go Forward’
As predictable as death and taxes, yesterday's New York Times editorial in support of Atlantic Yards made the cut for Bruce Ratner's e-newsletter, Atlantic Yards News.
The pull quotes are positively glowing:
“The developers have addressed some of the community’s early objections, particularly worries about traffic.”
“Community outreach has been far better in the Atlantic Yards project than it was, say, in the now-defunct plans to build a Jets stadium in Midtown Manhattan.”
“The planners are correct in seeing an opportunity to build something grander and doing it at the one place in the borough that can handle it.”
There's also a short list of other articles that feature or reference Atlantic Yards, which includes the requisite Errol Louis column and seems to be missing this week's New York Magazine article.
