Atlantic Yards Watch
Speaking of community complaints...
The Atlantic Yards District Service Cabinet Thursday, July 14th was largely dedicated to the rodent problem in the vicinity of the project. At the meeting Forest City Ratner committed to providing community residents a voucher to get a free garbage can.
More details of the program, including the type of can and the specific area the program will be available, will be made public in a week or so.
In addition, at the instigation of Council Member Letitia James, the NYC Department of Health, the NYC Department of Sanitation and ESDC Project Director Arana Hankin are working together to identify a strategy to address the full range of problems in and around the project site.
