Rally Against Demolition for Parking - PLEASE NOTE NEW VENUE April 15, 2007

Whether you support or oppose Atlantic Yards, the immediate reality of the project won't be the promised jobs and housing, but three enormous parking lots. The State is planning to permit Forest City Ratner to demolish two city blocks, including historic buildings like the Ward Bakery, to create “temporary” parking for over 1400 cars that could blight the area for decades. These parking lots will encourage more people to drive, leading to worse traffic, worse air quality and worse quality of life for Brooklynites. And the parking lots aren’t needed. No other large-scale development in New York has required the demolition of two entire city blocks for parking. Please join us in sending a clear message to Eliot Spitzer and Mike Bloomberg that New Yorkers deserve better.

Mark your calendars for April 15th at 2pm for some passionate speeches and great music - including from the Lafayette Inspirational Choir and singer Dave Hall.

Performers:

Dave Hall
Others TBC
