Atlantic & Flatbush time lapse
Not Another F*cking Blog
Photographer Tracy Collins set up his camera at the intersection of Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues yesterday to capture the action. Notice that, despite the presence of a Traffic Control Agent, the pedestrian crosswalks are blocked by cars during nearly every signal movement.

This intersection would be the northwest corner of Forest City Ratner’s 22-acre Atlantic Yards development and the site of the 18,000-seat Barclays Center basketball arena for the NBA Nets.
Traffic is typically miserable here and would only get much worse if and when Atlantic Yards is built.
NoLandGrab: If traffic control agents can't keep the crosswalks clear now, the building of the Barclays Center does not bode well for Brooklyn's pedestrians.
