BrooklynSpeaks Clearly?
Brooklyn Downtown Star, Letter to the Editor
Boerum Hill Association Atlantic Yards Task Force Chairperson Jo Anne Simon sent a letter to the editor to protest Norman Oder's conclusion that "BrooklynSpeaks has not challenged the fundamental process behind the project."
Simon writes:
Please visit the website. The sponsors of BrooklynSpeaks.net clearly state that any development at the site must respect and integrate with surrounding neighborhoods and involve the public in a meaningful way both as to redesign and the establishment of local representation to manage future decision-making and an ongoing public process for the site.
NoLandGrab: Forest City Ratner is the developer of the project because of a sham MTA bidding process and backroom deals. One must ask if BrooklynSpeaks can effectively question the "process" while simultaneously trying to work with Ratner, the beneficiary of the sham process, in order to create a better project?
