Greening the Planned Barclays Center Surface Parking Lot

The Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council presented a proposal for greening the massive surface parking lot planned for a large swath of Dean Street, which Atlantic Yards Watch covered last month, at last night's Atlantic Yards Transportation Focus Group meeting.

The presentation opened with a time-lapse video of Dean Street shot nearly two years ago by Tracy Collins, which shows a street that definitely is not going to be improved by the presence of 1100 cars coming and going to arena events.
