North Flatbush Ave BID, Public Information Meeting regarding street closings in our district

We advise all residents, property owners and merchants in our district to attend this informative meeting and bring your questions. There will be some permanent street closings in our area as well once the construction gets underway at the Atlantic Yards Project for our new Berkley Arena. This event is open to the public.

NoLandGrab: We think they mean Barclays, not "Berkley." If only it were in Berkeley.

Bruce Ratner bought a Nets team that went to the NBA Finals twice in a row and in just a few years, turned it into one of the worst teams in sports history. Whether via karma, divine retribution, or simply bad luck, Nets fan can only hope that Ratner's real estate empire has a similar fate.

Mr. Bloomberg hasn't run the city exactly on free-market principles. He backed eminent domain at Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn, banned smoking and trans-fats in restaurants, and raised taxes and spending.
