“It was inevitable, wasn’t it? We knew that the Carlton Avenue Bridge, closed since January 2008, had to reopen before the Atlantic Yards arena reopens.

you can either bitch and moan or just keep on living.
No shock at all.
This project has been a poster child for crappy government oversight from day 1.
This will be a great case study for how to not do huge projects.
Is anybody surprised?
