Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, New York
If you’re a resident of New York State, I urge you to add your name to an online petition to convince Governor Paterson to deny Forest City Ratner any of the federal stimulus funds for his Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn:
To: New York State Governor Paterson
I oppose the use of federal stimulus money to fund the Atlantic Yards project. The design, schedule and benefits of the project have clearly departed from what were disclosed to the public in 2006. Any allocation of stimulus to Atlantic Yards at this point would not only further reduce the project’s already unacceptable standard of accountability, it would deprive the people of New York City investment in urgently needed public works. I therefore urge you to reject any request for stimulus funds to be granted to Atlantic Yards.
