Atlantic Yards Returns to Court on Date Unknown, For Reasons Unknown
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
By Ryan Thompson
After years of losing litigation battles, opponents of Atlantic Yards were victorious in court this week, but the victory appears to have come too late. Many months after the judge ruled against petitioners’ claims that the multibillion-dollar project would take much longer than 10 years, the judge now seems to agree and has granted a motion to reargue.
The date for reargument has not been set. And many opponents of the project wonder what impact the case could have, when the land has already all been seized or purchased, and the construction of the Nets basketball arena has already begun. Perhaps some of the tangential buildings that are planned will be affected, some people close to the project hypothesized.
NoLandGrab: Yep, there's no reason to to go on with this, except that the ESDC lied. We've come to expect that from the tool of developer Bruce Ratner.
