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 streets and sidewalks of New York are our most significant public space. The demapping of city streets means that public space is removed from the public realm. Before any street is demapped there should be a rigorous process to see if there is a strong justification for doing so. It is a false fantasy to think that removing streets creates more public space.
