Barclays Responds to CB6 Liquor License Conditions
Brownstoner
Back on May 9, Community Board 6 voted to support the Barclays Center liquor license application under several conditions, including that arena brass produce transportation, security and sanitation plans and set up a community advisory panel; they also demanded certain “temporal limitations with regard to service of alcohol at arena events.” The conditions were conveyed to arena operators in a letter dated May 11, 2012. Yesterday, CB6 got its response on law firm letterhead. In summary, they said they already had a transportation plan that they released a couple of weeks ago; they detail the public safety protocol that’s being put in place; they say that they are in the process of working on the sanitation plan; they agree to a bunch of “temporal limitations” most of which seem to involve stopping the service of alcohol around 3/4 of the way through sporting events and one hour before the end of other events. They also say that Forest City Ratner has agreed to a sub-committee on quality of life issues and that “this group will continue to be in communication with various neighborhood groups concerning various aspects of the operation of the Arena and conditions outside the Arena that impact the neighborhood.”
NoLandGrab: It's really should come as no surprise that the Barclays Center's law firm is headed by a guy named "Wormser." Or that they'll run the place just like any suburban, highway-surrounded arena, despite the fact that it's located on a residential block of Prospect Heights.
