Regarding Hudson Yards plans, a Community Advisory Committee offers pointed criticism
Atlantic Yards Report
If there was a Community Advisory Committee involved in the Atlantic Yards planning, it certainly wasn't heard from. But there is a Hudson Yards Community Advisory Committee (HYCAC), set up by the mayoral administration and City Council, and it has issued a forceful open letter to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority regarding the plans for new development at the West Side yards.
The committee offers praise for the public presentations and models provided by five development teams: This amount of public disclosure with little formal public process is an important contribution to open government and better planning.
However, much is missing, and some of the criticism, as I'll explain below, echoes criticism of the Atlantic Yards plan.
