Protesting the Yards



Outside the Target in downtown Brooklyn this afternoon I saw an interesting technique for protesting the Atlantic Yards project. The protester was walking through the street amongst the cars stopped in the holiday traffic gridlock, trying to give drivers literature stating that traffic will be like this all the time if the project goes through as is and with phone numbers for George, Joe, Shelly, Alan and Eliot. The group, which is identified on the lit as the “Council of Brooklyn Neighborhoods,” seems not to be overtly interested is stopping the project, but "fix[ing] the traffic first!"

For the censorship Nazis out there, she posed for the picture and I told her why I was taking it.

Wonk.  You are lying! Bet you can't prove that woman gave you permission to print her photograph. You are lying.  Besides, someone who knows you told me that's really you in the photograph. I believe it. Judging from your postings it's exactly as I thought you would look. Prissy, proper, generic, with a flatulent, constipated smile.

I admit it, I'm exposed. I'm actually a woman and it's me in the picture. That's how I spend my Saturdays—protesting the Atlantic Yards.

Pro-transit folks in favor of density and large gathering places concentrated at a transit hub. Drivers opposed.

Wonk, my man, it appears that you have, if not enemies, then certainly yappers (cf. comment #1). That's unfortunate, but you seem to have lucked out in that they seem uncomfortable with properly using the language.

Yet another way to look at it:

Drivers could just use local streets as an alternative route.

Folks who regularly use the Atlantic & Flatbush transit hub are concerned that the station is nearly "at capacity" and the narrow platforms and subway lines will not be able to accommodate the thousands of additional residents and arena goers.

(Drivers could just use local streets as an alternative route.) The locals should insist on blocking those streets off, as on the West Indian Parade. Unfortunately, the choice is give Ratner everything or nothing. (Folks who regularly use the Atlantic & Flatbush transit hub are concerned that the station is nearly "at capacity") Not even close. The 4/5 may be approaching capacity at rush hour in the peak direction. Nothing else is then, let alone at 7pm or 10 pm or on weekends. I travel thru the station frequently, always during peak periods.
