Fight Continues Against Atlantic Yards Project
WNYC
A coalition of civic groups filed a lawsuit in state supreme court today to annul the final environmental impact statement. The suit alleges that approval by the Empire State Development Corporation was flawed partly because it didn't take into account projected congestion and security concerns Attorney Candice Carpenter says she hopes the lawsuit will give new ESDC members appointed by Governor Spitzer a more thoughtful analysis of the project:
CARPENTER: Were not saying they forgot to count a few cars - we're saying they forgot to take a hard look at 13 separate issues - do we think in the end this will change the issue once it goes back to the ESDC? That's what we're hopeful for.
