New York City Noise Regulations Going Into Effect
The Brooklyn Daily Eagle ran the AP story we originally posted via amNewYork.
What's so special about this article? It promotes Atlantic Yards as the poster project for a quieter New York (really).
Loren Riegelhaupt, spokesman for Forest City Ratner Companies, the company behind the massive Atlantic Yards project that includes a new Brooklyn arena for the NBA’s Nets, said keeping the sound down is good business.
“As part of construction you have to mitigate noise measures, and we’ll do everything we’re asked to do,” he said. As part of the plan to stifle construction noise around the Atlantic Yards project, the company is buying double-paned windows and quiet air conditioners for about 700 nearby neighbors to help offset sound.
NoLandGrab: As was mentioned before, Forest City is giving themselves credit for a mitigation that was recommended by the state, akin to those who dispose of their garbage properly, giving themselves a pat on the back.
