After the Transportation Committee of Community Board 6 last month requested that the Department of Transportation (DOT) not proceed with plans to make Sixth and Seventh avenues in Park Slope one-way "at this time," the full board, as reported by Bob Guskind of the Gowanus Lounge, last night more definitively opposed the plan and also asked that DOT continue to work on reducing the speed of cars on one-way Eighth Avenue and Prospect Park West.
This watchdog blog, by journalist Norman Oder, covers the project to build the Barclays Center arena and 15-16 towers at a crucial site in Brooklyn. Dubbed Atlantic Yards by developer Forest City Ratner in 2003, it was rebranded Pacific Park Brooklyn in 2014 after Shanghai-based Greenland USA took a majority share. Forest City left in 2018. Eight towers and the arena have been built. After a stall, Cirrus and LCOR in 2025 took over as master developers. A plan to complete the project is pending.
