City Planners Set July 3 Deadline for Barclays Center Traffic Plan Feedback

Live Near Atlantic Yards? The public has until Tuesday, July 3 to submit comments on Forest City Ratner's plan to manage traffic once the area opens in September.

 

Love it or hate it, if you've got something to say on Forest City Ratner's once the Barclays Center opens in the fall, you've got until tomorrow to have your say.

The deadline for submitting comments is Tuesday, July 3 at 6 p.m

The main gist of the plan is that the developer and the MTA will encourage people to take the train instead of driving by adding extra trains and through public education about the joys of public transit.

They are also setting up shuttle buses from public parking lots 1/2 mile or more from the arena and will install 400 guarded bike-parking spaces.

But  mean there's no "real disincentives" to convince people to leave their cars at home.

You can read the full Barclays Traffic Management Plan and a Q & A on it and send your comments to AtlanticYards@esd.ny.gov by 6 p.m. on Tuesday, July 3.
