Clarifying last week’s Atlantic Yards coverage
Brooklyn Papers
When we posted a link to last week's Brooklyn Papers article about the testimony submitted by the Council of Brooklyn Neighborhoods, we stated that the paper "missed the mark."
This week, the weekly neighborhood paper explains:
We went to press Thursday afternoon with a story that conveyed the experts’ concerns about the DEIS, but mostly reflected our mistaken impression that the CBN would let its experts’ analysis suffice and that the group would not comment on the larger question of whether Atlantic Yards should be approved or rejected.
But on Friday morning, well after we could amend our printed story, the CBN did issue a strong denunciation of the DEIS, one that called for Atlantic Yards to be halted unless the document was abandoned and re-written.
Brooklyn Papers also corrected the record regarding Doug Hamilton's Pacific Plan, indicating it would require at least one eminent domain condemnation.
