Atlantic Yards would:

Contain the same amount of development as 23 Williamsburgh Savings Banks

Contain affordable housing that won't be affordable to average Brooklynites

Potentially be built without significant input from New Yorkers

The money officially pledged for infrastructure improvements is for aspects of the project like Flatbush Avenue widening. The EIS comments about traffic slowing existing bus service and that therefore more bus service will be needed are broad-brush and cursory - clearly the developer does not anticipate being held accountable for the mitigation of this impact.

Bus lanes are the responsibility of the NYC DOT, and bus service is the province of NYC Transit. For a project of this scale, it is not unreasonable to ask that these entities consider its impacts and develop responses, such as new ways to get buses thru gridlock.
