Mayor's mixed messages
amNY
One Brooklynite notes that the Mayor's support for Atlantic Yards is at odds with his campaign against congestion:
In addition, why then would we want a stadium in Brooklyn?
It will increase traffic so Brooklynites will have to pay to drive in Brooklyn. Easy answer, cancel the stadium in Brooklyn and stop the congestion pricing in Manhattan.
— Thomas Healy, Brooklyn
NoLandGrab, FYI: The Mayor's POV is that the region would not be able to stomach the historic megaproject called Atlantic Yards without first swallowing what some may call a bitter pill (congestion pricing). [Granted, the Mayor's office wouldn't phrase it in that manner.]
