Atlantic Terminal Station Starting to Show its Face
The seemingly interminable reconstruction of the LIRR station at the Atlantic Terminal is finally revealing signs of progress.

The seemingly interminable reconstruction of the LIRR station at the Atlantic Terminal is finally revealing signs of progress. Exterior brickwork for the station, directly across the street from the Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower and attached to the Atlantic Terminal Mall, has started going up over the past month or so. While there’s never been much doubt the station will end up looking as generic as the rest of the Atlantic Terminal and Center, the construction (going strong for five years now) has made getting to the LIRR a confusing pain in the ass, and mangled street and sidewalk traffic. A press release from the MTA that came out earlier this year didn’t pinpoint when the revamp’ll finally be finished. Anyone know? We won’t be holding our breath.
Work Continues on Major Renovation Project [MTA]
you paid 5 bucks for that?
Did you know you can get a $5.00 HAND JOB at Atlantic Center?
just go into the men’s room at Target and ask for Ratner’s she-male mother.
You really think Ratner pays his assistants enough to work on Sundays?
Think again buddy.
Go enjoy Atlantic Antic and have a beer.
you’ve got a pretty big job too…
move out of mommy’s house and try to afford a place on your own anywhere close to ay.
yeah…bigger project than you though…uh huh…
Hey right back at you, Ratner employee at 12:51, you proved exactly what I was saying in my post at 12:32. By the way, I’m not with Develop Don’t Destroy, and I think those people were idiots who blew it.
We KNOW it’s a done deal. Snnoooooze. That debate is over.
Now your challenge is to complete construction without making a complete mess of it with huge delays. Then convince wealthy yuppy liberals (i.e. very picky) to buy your crappy AY luxury condos and shop in your crappy AY stores. When most won’t want to live in a place that has such negative stigma. So good luck with all that. You got a big job ahead of you.
hey head of develop don’t destroy…
the party’s over.
it’s a done deal.
maybe if you all weren’t such a psychotic bunch of loons, you would have had a chance.
bring on AYYYYYYYYY
Thank you Mr. Ratner’s recpetionist at 12:19.
The only explanation for all the vitrol against criticism of Atlantic Center, criticism that the entire Brooklyn community agrees on, even those that shop there, is that Ratner’s minions are once again patrolling Brownstoner and launching nasty attacks on anyone who points out the truth.
As for your moronic comments, 12:19, Bloomberg makes all his money on Wall Street. Translation = fiscal conservative. Does’t matter what party he claims to belong to for convenience in any give year. And yes exactly, we’re saying government should meddle as little as possible. Which means they should NOT be handing Ratner all of downtown Brooklyn on a silver platter, NOT allowing competitive bids!! And NOT allowing competing businessmen to open large retail centers near Ratner’s Fulton Mall or Atlantic Center. Congratulations, you have managed to debate yourself into defeat all by yourself.
hey idiot…i mean 11:17.
bloomberg left the republican party. where the hell have you been?
oh and most republicans say to stay out of government as much as possible, but you seem to be saying that you want them to hold your hand to get you a new target.
which is it?
6:03pm sums it up perfectly.
The only reason anybody goes to the Atlantic Center’s Target is NO competition. Love how the city handed over Ratner’s exclusive lock on retail in that part of Brooklyn. Which failed. And now they’re doing it again.
Hey Bloomberg, remember competition is good. Your own Republican party is the biggest champion of competition of all. So what happened?
