Smart growth bill passes, suggests that public infrastructure be prioritized for downtown developments--but with community-based planning (unlike AY)
Atlantic Yards Report
Both the state Assembly and Senate last week passed a bill establishing a state smart growth public infrastructure policy.
On one level, the bill--which offers guidance rather than anything enforceable and does not apply to projects already in process--seems to argue for projects like Atlantic Yards, high-density developments near transit.
But a closer look suggests some contradictions.
