Demolition on nine buildings in the Atlantic Yards footprint is set for today.

Last week, Manhattan State Supreme Court Justice Joan Madden refused to issue a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) that would have blocked demolitions before the legal challenge to the state’s environmental review before the court hearing on May 3rd.

But no go.

As I write this, Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn is protesting the demolition. They are assempling at Flatbush Avenue between 5th Avenue and Dean Street in Brooklyn.
