A zoning subcommittee chaired by Kevin Riley raced through Brooklyn rezonings (Franklin Avenue near the Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Yards, La Contina) before opening the marquee fight: the $10 billion replacement of the Port Authority Midtown Bus Terminal. The Port Authority team pitched a net-zero terminal serving 260,000 daily riders plus 3.5 acres of green deck-over space. But Hell's Kitchen pushed back hard , Metro Baptist Church warned of lost light through historic stained glass, CB4's housing co-chair attacked deferring affordable housing 'ten years after the project,' and witnesses demand
“development of fourteen buildings within the existing railroad right of way and including approximately two hundred and seventy dwelling units”
— Susan Zhuang
“the need to provide for affordable housing on Port Authority owned property and a solid plan to mitigate the effects of this construction”
— Erik D. Bottcher
“At the end of the project in 10 years, we will have public open green space, which is fantastic, but what are we going to do in the interim?”
— Brian Weber
“there is a commitment that we have made to ensure that there is there are measures taken to mitigate the impacts on those stained glass windows”
— Hirsch Perek
