At public meeting on arena plaza, presentation from architect, answers from SHoP, FCR, ESDC, with video (to be updated)
Atlantic Yards Report
Norman Oder has posted lots of video from last night's presentation of the publicly accessible private plaza planned at the intersection of Atlantic and Flatbush avenues.
I'll expand this post significantly, but here are a number of videos covering most of the public meeting held last night at Borough Hall regarding Forest City Ratner's plans for the arena plaza.
There were a lot of good questions, and a reasonable amount of responsiveness, if not complete candor. There were several questions that were not exactly on topic--the arena plaza design--but they were addressed.
