NASCAR Dumped, Even WITH a Traffic Plan
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn makes a good point about how the recently abandoned plan to build a NASCAR track in Staten Island at least tried to address traffic and transportation issues, unlike an arena and 16 (or 19) highrise proposal at one of the most congested intersections in Brooklyn:
Despite the problems with the racetrack project, even a 100,000-spectator venue managed to have a comprehensive traffic plan attached to it.
...
If NASCAR could create a compelling, comprehensive traffic plan for 3 weekend events per year at that massive venue in Staten Island, why can't Forest City Ratner and the ESDC do the same?
