It takes ONE minute - Please Sign this Petition re: Atlantic Yards!
Dear Fellow New Yorker,
I've just signed a petition expressing my opposition to the proposed Nets Arena / Skyscraper "Atlantic Yards" project.
The community supports alternatives for developing the Vanderbilt Yards, which have been shown to be financially viable by the bid submitted by Extell Development Company.

Brooklyn can also have its professional sports team if alternative, viable locations for an arena in Brooklyn are considered: http://tinyurl.com/yybzj6.
It took me just a couple of minutes to sign a petition on line -- two minutes that could go a long way to significantly altering the way the Vanderbilt Yards are developed.
If built as proposed, the “Atlantic Yards” would:
--be the biggest private development in Brooklyn’s history
--cost taxpayers at least $1.6 billion
--misuse eminent domain to seize the private property of homeowners and businesses
--irrevocably alter the low-rise character of Prospect Heights, Fort Greene, Clinton Hill and Park Slope
--create a nightmare of traffic, noise, pollution and other negative environmental effects.
Won’t you please take ONE MINUTE and join me in signing the petition?

And please pass this email on.
Thanks for helping to make a difference!
