It would funnel fans from the LIRR and Atlantic/Pacific Street platforms directly into Ratner's arena -- bypassing local businesses in favor of Ratner's preferred chain box-stores and arena concessions.Umm, what local businesses? The Vitamin Shoppe? Dunkin' Donuts/Baskin Robbins? PC Richard & Son? Or the already existing chain box-stores in the Atlantic Terminal/Center mall? Much like riders on the old Train to the Plane, who avoided exposure to nearly all of Brooklyn (save the Jay Street station), visitors to Brooklyn would never have to walk our streets. Instead, they would be hermetically whisked from the station into Ratner's arena and towers. What streets would they be prevented from walking? Fourth Avenue? Atlantic Avenue? Not much to see there. |
