The Brooklyn Paper had this report:

"Supporters and opponents of the embattled Atlantic Yards project
clashed at two public hearings this Wednesday and an information
session last Wednesday, rehashing familiar arguments over the
controversial mega-project in the wake of a new proposal that would
give developer Bruce Ratner sweeter terms.

"The July 29 hearing at the New York Technical College on Jay Street wasn’t as uproarious as the June 22 session,
where years of built-up frustration erupted from project boosters and
foes who long ago made up their minds on the merits of the basketball
arena and the 16-skyscraper development planned for Prospect Heights.

But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t without excitement.

More than 50 project opponents as well as a who’s who of politicians
and City Council candidates rallied outside the hearing, demanding the
project be halted in the wake of changes approved last month
that would allow Forest City to build the project at a slower pace, pay
the Metropolitan Transportation Authority less money up front to build
for development rights to a smaller portion of the railyards at the
intersection of Atlantic and Flatbush avenues, and to make less-costly
railyard renovations than initially promised.

Loads more at  Atlantic Yards Report and No Land Grab, of course.
