A Bridge Too Late, and More
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn
For those who still remember there was once a Carlton Avenue bridge, its return just moved further out into the future. When it was closed in January 2008 the reopening was scheduled for January 2010. But the date kept moving, and now Norman Oder reports the latest update: April 2012, which would mean the bridge will have been closed more than twice as long as originally promised in the original Atlantic Yards environmental review. Oder suspects, moreover, that fall of 2012 is more likely.
Oder also writes that the entrance to the arena will also be a moving target. When Building 1 is constructed--an office tower plus the "Urban Room"--the entrance to the Arena will be temporarily moved to Sixth Avenue.
