Arena Setback Should Be a Major Setback
Queens Ledger
Now with news that the arena will be closer than an NFL first down to two of Brooklyn’s busiest thoroughfares, it’s time for the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC), FCR, the governor, the mayor, the NYPD, and whoever else has been involved in heretofore undisclosed security discussions to be more forthcoming with their plans.The ESDC continues to assert that security talks are ongoing with the NYPD, but that it would be a breach to divulge any specifics. It’s amazing that the same security concerns didn’t prohibit the public from learning that the most high-profile building being planning in the world - the Freedom Tower at Ground Zero - was, in fact, too close to the street.
And how close was the Freedom Tower when first proposed? Twenty feet.
