At a recent Environment, Sanitation and Transportation committee meeting at Community Board 8, many residents and board members agreed they did not have enough information on the Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use Plan (AAMUP) to be able to make any recommendations and asked for the city for more information.
Lynda Balsama, a Prospect Heights resident and member of the activist group United Neighbors of Prospect and Crown Heights, expressed concern by saying, "There are three plans being circulated, and no one seems to have all the information, yet the community board is being asked to vote on it."
Peter Anekwe, a lifelong Crown Heights resident, described the impact of the city's plan by stating, "Now, they've made it so developers are not required to provide parking, referring to Mayor Eric Adams' efforts to waive off-street parking requirements in new construction as part of the 'City of Yes' housing plan."
