Columbia modifies Harlem plan
Metro NY
By Amy Zimmer
NoLandGrab readers have been watching developments in Columbia's bid to expand their campus in West Harlem because both project will be using eminent domain to seize private property.
In today's article about the West Harlem project Brooklynites will notice that the two projects share even more issues in common: * public space design, * respect for the existing neighborhoods, and * "value" to the community vs. "value" to the developer.
NoLandGrab: One big difference between the two projects is that the Columbia expansion has to go through NY City's land use review process, while Atlantic Yards has been taken over by NY State in order to supercede local zoning and review.
