Beat the Barclays Center Traffic Blues: Use Mass Transit
Huff Post New York
by Ellen Freudenheim
I'd never heard of Samuel I. Schwartz before this morning's coffee and The New York Times.
But, Samuel I. Schwartz, I'm blowing a kiss your way.
While Forest City Ratner, with its detail-free "Transportation Demand Management" Plan, is blowing smoke somewhere else.
I care, because I live in a nearby Brooklyn neighborhood, Park Slope, a 10-minute walk from Barclays Center. And the arena promises to spring into action this autumn, boasting a Madison Square Garden-like schedule of 200 annual events (that's an average of three per week) including such blockbusters as Barbra Streisand and Disney on Ice.
I'm coming down with a case of anticipatory road rage from being stuck in stadium traffic.
