Atlantic Yards would:
Contain the same amount of development as 23 Williamsburgh Savings Banks
Generate over 20,000 new vehicle trips every day with no plan to avoid gridlock
Contain affordable housing that won't be affordable to average Brooklynites
Potentially be built without significant input from New Yorkers

The demolition of historic structures for making so called "temporary parking" should not be supported by Borough President Marty Markowitz because 1) it's not needed and 2) it would make Brooklyn a worse place. There is much parking around the project site currently. In fact, there are a few lots that have recently been razed that could provide parking. By removing the historic buildings, a bit of Brooklyn's character is wiped away. If this is necessary as a result of the project, wait until the project takes place.
Marty, don't support this razing, it will only make blight.
