The effects on the surrounding community by the Atlantic Yards proposal were outlined in two State documents released today: the General Project Plan and the Draft Environmental Impact Statement. A 60 day public comment period now ensues. Don’t have time to read and analyze 15 inches of complex issues? Many in the community feel the same way. The Times, the Daily News and the Atlantic Yards Report sum up the reports, and I’m sure the reports will be impressive fodder for the blog wars in the near future (like tonight, perhaps?). If you want to learn more about what this is all about, the Council of Brooklyn Neighbors will be hosting 3 public workshops. CBN, by the way, has just been awarded $130,000 by the City Council for an independent study on the proposal.
