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

Marty Markowitz won't listen. The man likes to talk too much. What's more, the man is running for the Mayor of New York and he imagines being seen as a friend of developers, their banks and the building trades will help advance his ambitions.

Alas poor Marty. Should work actually commence on Atlantic Yards, he will see himself as presiding (only as a figure head, of course) of the Brooklyn's equivalent of Boston's "Big Dig."

As someone who worked for a short time for a firm consulting on the Atlantic Yards projects, I am happy to share FCRC's opinion of Marty and his influence: They considered the man a "clown."
