Loud & Clear: CB6 Rejects Atlantic Yards

Reasoning that the Atlantic Yards development will cause “irreparable damage to the quality of life in the borough of Brooklyn,” Community Board 6 this week overwhelmingly rejected the controversial project.
...
In its second motion, the board objected to the project from a procedural standpoint, agreeing that there has been, “a failure to involve the community board and the community in a meaningful way; misleading and overstating the involvement of the public in the process.”Moreover, the board reasoned, there was “a failure to provide adequate or sufficient time for the public to review the [plan] and the DEIS.”
In its third motion, the board took aim at the complicated DEIS, saying that its scope is “insufficient, inadequate or questionable,” and that there has been insufficient modeling to predict future impacts on traffic, sewer, and public safety, to name a few.
