A Parking Lot Grows in Brooklyn
Streets Blog catches up on Norman "the Human Tape Rec'oder" Oder's coverage of Traffic and Transportation issues.
On parking:
In July when the project's Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) was issued it included a plan to limit parking at the arena to vehicles carrying three or more people, except for an unspecified number of suites. The final EIS issued in November clarified that policy: Only about half of the parking space will be for HOV vehicles.
Norman Oder on parking lots for construction workers...
The Atlantic Yards project is being billed as "transit-oriented development," but the project Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) is notably defensive about a big parking lot for construction workers.
and temporary open space vs. temporary surface parking:
maybe the concept remains, to be proffered as a compromise at crunch time, when the developer and the Empire State Development Corporation need to get Atlantic Yards past Sheldon Silver and the Public Authorities Control Board.
