Atlantic Yards: Information Sharing Recordkeeping, Part 9

Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn

In the February 26, 2008 NY Observer Forest City Ratner spokesman Loren Reigelhaupt said:
“When it comes to sharing information with the public and governmental bodies, there’s no such thing as too much, as far as we are concerned."
Today Norman Oder quotes from a Courier-Life article (not yet online) about Ratner/ESDC's non-transparency regarding the stoppage of work on Vanderbilt Yards and the Carlton Avenue bridge. From the Atlantic Yards Report's coverage of reporter Stephen Witt's article:
...Now we can relax. An unnamed Empire State Development Corporation spokesman informs the Courier-Life's Stephen Witt, "Forest City Ratner has told us there are no changes in the schedule at this time" to reconstruct and reopen the half-demolished Carlton Avenue bridge.

That's more than I got out of the ESDC, which referred me to the developer. Witt also tried, but FCR "refused comment on the matter."
