Rally Sunday, April 15, to Demand Major Changes to Atlantic Yards Plan
Brooklyn Daily Eagle online is usually a couple of days behind. There's not much new in this article from Friday. It's primarily a rewritten press release:
A rally to protest the demolition by Forest City Ratner of two entire city blocks in Prospect Heights for parking will take place at 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 15, on Pacific Street between Carlton and Vanderbilt Avenues.
Forest City Ratner says it needs the temporary parking lots while constructing the Atlantic Yards project.
But organizers of the rally, the BrooklynSpeaks.net campaign, feel that the parking lots will create a blight on the neighborhood and say they are not really temporary, as the project will take years to complete.
