After Doctoroff admits AY should've gone through ULURP, will Bloomy, Burden follow?
Atlantic Yards Report
On his way out, Deputy Mayor for Economic Development Dan Doctroff declares that the Atlantic Yards project should have gone through ULURP (Uniform Land Use Review Procedure).
“I am a huge believer in the ULURP process. I think it makes sense. It allows the issues to be aired in an appropriate way. If it happened again, and the state were to ask if I would encourage them to take Atlantic Yards through the ULURP process, I would say yes.”
....Now that the second-most powerful figure in city government admits Atlantic Yards could've been handled better, will his boss, Mayor Mike Bloomberg, and would his colleague and ostensible subordinate, Amanda Burden, chairperson of the New York City Planning Commission, do the same?
