Without upgraded railyard, would General Project Plan be violated?
Atlantic Yards Report
AYR offers up another line of inquiry to State Senator Bill Perkins, who's planning a committee hearing on Atlantic Yards.
If developer Forest City Ratner does not create the upgraded railyard it intended--as the New York Times reported, citing an anonymous source--would that be violating the General Project Plan?
ESDC response
I got a response this week from the ESDC: "Based on the current economic climate, we are reviewing all GPP requirements but have not reached a decision on whether further modifications are necessary or appropriate."
Surely the ESDC does not want to modify the GPP nor the Final Environmental Impact Statement; that would only delay the project.
But if there are major changes to the project, shouldn't they be documented and defended?
