Mr. Ratner's Driveway? No Way!
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn points out that even though DOT tried to disabuse residents of the notion that the proposed changes had anything to do with Atlantic Yards, community leaders weren't buying it:
Inside, after DOT Deputy Commissioner Michael Primeggia tried to make the case for the proposed changes, several members of Community Board Six, representatives of civic organizations, and neighborhood residents voiced what so many critics of the DOT's plan believe: that the real reason for the proposed traffic changes is that Bruce Ratner needs a driveway.
“You say [DOT's proposal] won’t induce traffic,” said Lydia Denworth, President of the Park Slope Civic Council. “You left out the 800-pound gorilla” — the arena.
“There’s only one reason for the proposed changes, and that’s Atlantic Yards,” added Jeff Strabone, a CB6 board member.
