Atlantic Yards Developer Looks To Trash Rodent Concerns
NY1
A more accurate headline might be "Atlantic Yards Developer Looks To 'Do Least Amount Possible To Address' Rodent Concerns."
The developer of the Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn is looking to fight rodents in the area by giving out heavy duty trash cans to local residents.
Forest City Ratner is providing the cans in response to community complaints about a boom in the rat population in and around the construction site.
The developer says a review of work in the area found garbage in the neighborhood that was not being properly thrown out.
NoLandGrab: That's right, slovenly Prospect Heights residents, the problem isn't the rats — it's YOU! Learn how to throw out your trash! Thank goodness the munificent Bruce Ratner is going to spring (with your money) for new trash cans.
