Last week the DOB slapped the easternmost section of the Atlantic Yards site with a stop-work order. Construction at Vanderbilt Avenue and Pacific Street—where Forest City Ratner plans to put up residential buildings—is suspended because contractors didn’t have approved plans or a DOT permit posted. While Forest City’s lack of a paper trail certainly isn’t as frightening as when sections of the Ward’s Bakery building began collapsing this spring, perhaps the hiccup could have been avoided if someone was overseeing Atlantic Yards construction. You know, someone like that ombudsman the ESDC promised to appoint nearly five months ago…

  1. 9:52,

    You AY opponents amaze me. You complain about there being no parking lot for the stadium, yet also scream that the “interim surface parking lot” in the eastern portion of the footprint might become permanent. Make up your mind.

    D-O-N-E-D-E-A-L!!!

  2. Overpriced and unnecessary condos. Ditto on the office space.

    Woohoo, a stadium for a crappy basketball team! Howzabout a parking lot for said stadium? No? Ingenious!

    Oh, any planned upgrades to the overtaxed infrastructure? No? Even more brilliant!

    AY blows. ‘Nuff said.

  3. Has anyone else noticed that No Land Grab is basically a link to the Atlantic Yards report? And that on any given day, DDDB, NLG, and AYR have the same exact news items, yet cross reference one another in order to make the opposition appear stronger than it actually is?
