Transportation Demand Management documents released: nothing about Wrigley; HOV parking questions; the effectiveness of free MetroCard and other giveaways (that would cost Forest City Ratner) as incentives
Atlantic Yards Report
Late Friday afternoon, some ten days after public meetings regarding the Atlantic Yards Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plan, the Empire State Development Corporation released documents behind the plan.
It's notable that the draft of the plan, from Sam Schwartz Engineering, rely on best practices from CitiField in Queens, the Prudential Center in Newark, and CenturyLink Field in Seattle, but make no mention of the significant example of Wrigley Field in Chicago, which has been an inspiration for the proposed Neighborhood Protection Plan, which aims to fill in gaps in the TDM plan.
I'll point to a few lingering questions.
