This proposal for Marine Park has all the hallmarks of a Ratner project: currently occupied space, strip malls, big box stores, dissatisfied Community Boards, street de-mapping, even the rhetoric is the same:

“This will not happen in secret,” Fidler said, alluding to the anticipated public review of the project.

At first glance, he continued, “the feeling is that this is empty city-owned land, and thus would not appear to negatively impact the community.”

Forest City Ratner declined to comment for this story.

City officials last week held an interagency meeting to discuss de-mapping two streets near the site, as well as to get input about aspects of the project.
