Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park infographics: what's built/what's coming/what's missing, who's responsible, + project FAQ/timeline (pinned post)

Remote parking garages near Atlantic Avenue? How about LICH and One Brooklyn Bridge Park?

So, where might those remote parking garages be located, where those attending Nets games in Brooklyn can park and take shuttle buses to the Barclays Center arena?

At the Atlantic Yards District Service Cabinet meeting on March 15, Forest City Ratner executive Jane Marshall said the company had identified two garages for remote parking, "focused on Atlantic Avenue" and "right off the BQE [Brooklyn-Queens Expressway]."

That would allow shuttle buses to follow MTA bus routes along Atlantic Avenue and, presumably, do a drop-off along Atlantic Avenue outside the arena rather than along Flatbush Avenue or the narrower lanes of Dean Street or Sixth Avenue.

Where might they be?

After the meeting, Rob Perris, District Manager for Community Board 2, and Jim Vogel, an aide to state Senator Velmanette Montgomery, both Brooklyn residents, gave it their best guess:Both certainly fit Marshall's description.

But I also thought that Forest City Ratner's MetroTech complex, which at its eastern edge borders Flatbush Avenue (and is near the BQE) would be used. So stay tuned.
