New York Times

In a 24-page ruling, the appellate judges said the project could move forward because it would provide benefits to the public, including the creation of park space, new housing units and improvements in the mass transit system. The plaintiffs had argued that such benefits were merely a pretext for the real goal of the plan: to enrich the developer, Bruce C. Ratner.Matthew D. Brinckerhoff, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said he planned to appeal the case to the United States Supreme Court.
