What, us worry?
8:45 AM at Flatbush and Atlantic
With Atlantic Yards's 17,000 new residents, and an 18,000 seat arena in use approximately 220 days per year, this gridlock would be the good ol' days.
(Update: Streets Blog picked up this photo and commentary, which led to a spirited debate in their comments section. Just to make clear, our commentary above isn't simply to state the obvious--traffic is very bad at this intersection--but rather to state that as bad as it is now , it is bound to get worse if Atlantic Yards is built and (here's the key point) there is no traffic mitigation or calming plan in the Atlantic Yards project. Yet there are nearly 4,000 parking spots planned. Also in response to some of the commenters, DDDB, other project opponents and critics, and some project supporters have called for fewer (or no) parking spots at all and for traffic planning, including congestion pricing. The problem is that those calls have not even been acknowledged by the ESDC or Forest City Ratner or Mayor Bloomberg.)
