Say goodbye to Fifth Avenue as it runs through the proposed Atlantic Yards footprint. The street is being "de-mapped" on May 27. This news was delivered at the Community Board 6 meeting in Park Slope on Wednesday night as part of an announcement that the B63 bus route is being changed. There was jeering at the meeting about the announcement, as New York City Transit had not consulted with anyone at the community level, other than to deliver a notice of the service revision.
...
Even with litigation to determine the outcome of Atlantic Yards still in the courts, changes associated with the project, from demolitions to "de-mapping" of streets are starting.
