Ratner promises reasonable bollards

The Brooklyn Paper
By Andy Campbell

Developers of the Long Island Rail Road terminal made a “mistake” when they installed massive, tomb-like bollards in front of their new train station earlier this year — a mistake that Forest City Ratner says it will not make across the street at the Barclays Center.

In a bombshell dropped at a public meeting on Wednesday night about the plaza that will sit outside the Barclays Center, Forest City Ratner officials said the LIRR’s designers blew it on the excessive, granite, sarcophagus-style counter-terrorism bollards outside the building.

NoLandGrab: First we were told that there weren't going to be any bollards, now there are. Why does Forest City Ratner even bother trying to make any more promises?
