Atlantic Yards Opponents File Another Motion Alongside Eminent Domain Challenge
Environmental Objection Claims Government Corruption
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
By Ryan Thompson
On the same day that a legal brief was filed with the New York Court of Appeals in preparation for upcoming oral arguments over eminent domain, opponents of Atlantic Yards filed another brief with the same court but in a separate case.
Tuesday, Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn (DDDB) announced that it filed a memorandum of law with the Court of Appeals seeking leave to appeal an Appellate Division-First Department judgment that upheld the Manhattan Supreme Court’s dismissal of DDDB v. Urban Development Corp.
The case — filed on Friday by DDDB itself, instead of property owners or renters who live on the proposed site — directly seeks to stop Atlantic Yards based on alleged faults with the environmental impact statement and review.
NoLandGrab: Technically, 25 other community groups signed on this brief as co-petitioners.
