Electeds Join in Call for Yards Security Study
The Downtown Brooklyn Star
by Shane Miller
This article covers the letter sent last week to Spitzer and Bloomberg calling for a security study for the proposed Nets arena.
Growing concern that street closures like those around the new Prudential Center arena in Newark could shut down some of Brooklyn's major thoroughfares if the Nets arena is built prompted the borough's elected officials to demand an independent security study. The study was called for in a letter sent to Governor Eliot Spitzer and Mayor Michael Bloomberg that was signed by assembly members Joan Millman, James Brennan, and Hakim Jeffries, state senators Eric Adams and Velmanette Montgomery, and council members Bill de Blasio, Letitia James, and David Yassky.
