Chapter 1: Project Description A. IDENTIFICATION of THE
Chapter 1: Project Description A. IDENTIFICATION OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT Atlantic Yards Development Company, LLC, and Brooklyn Arena, LLC, affiliates of the Forest City Ratner Companies (the project sponsors), in cooperation with the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC), the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), and the City of New York (the City), propose a master plan to develop a major mixed-use development in the Atlantic Terminal area of Brooklyn, adjacent to Downtown Brooklyn. The proposed project would occupy an approximately 22-acre area, roughly bounded by Flatbush and 4th Avenues to the west, Vanderbilt Avenue to the east, Atlantic Avenue to the north, and Dean and Pacific Streets to the south (see Figure 1-1). The proposed project would introduce a mix of uses arranged to concentrate the greatest activity closest to Brooklyn’s major transportation hub, which is adjacent to the western end of the site. This end of the project site would contain a new arena for the New Jersey Nets National Basketball Association Team (the Nets), along with commercial office and retail, hotel, and residential uses. Farther to the east, the proposed project would be primarily residential and would provide at least seven acres of publicly accessible open space along with a number of local retail and community services. The project would also expand, platform over, and improve the MTA/Long Island Rail Road (MTA/LIRR) Vanderbilt Yard, which, together with a New York City Transit (NYCT) yard for retired buses, occupy approximately nine acres of the project site in an open cut (rail yard). As part of this improvement, the project would rebuild the Carlton and 6th Avenue Bridges between Atlantic and Pacific Streets.

Broadway Junction a Vision for the Future
BROADWAY JUNCTION A VISION FOR THE FUTURE A step forward in reimagining Broadway Junction to create a more accessible and dynamic transit hub and economic center—to offer more opportunities to the surrounding neighborhoods and the city at large THE INGREDIENTS FOR A TRUE TRANSIT HUB Broadway Junction is one of Brooklyn’s major transit centers, occupying approximately 25 acres in east Brooklyn in between four transit stations served by five subway lines, six bus routes, and the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR). It is also the meeting point of six largely residential neighborhoods: Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brownsville, Bushwick, Cypress Hills, East New York, and Ocean Hill, as well as the East New York Industrial Business Zone to the south, home to over 100 local industrial businesses. Broadway Junction is uniquely connected to employment and transit hubs around the city, with a 15-minute ride to Downtown Brooklyn, Jamaica, or Williamsburg, 20 minutes to Lower Manhattan, and 35 minutes to Midtown Manhattan or JFK Airport. With over 1 million workers within a 45-minute commute by transit, Broadway Junction is not far behind employment hubs like Downtown Brooklyn and Long Island City in terms of access to transit.

MTA Capital Program 2010-2014 Amendment as submitted to the MTA CAPITAL PROGRAM REVIEW BOARD January 2012 Introduction On September 29, 2009, the MTA Board approved a proposed $28.080 billion 2010-2014 Capital Program and submitted that plan to the Capital Program Review Board (CPRB) in October 2009, requesting their approval of the $25.572 billion CPRB portion of that plan (excludes Bridges and Tunnels, which self-funds its program). On December 31, 2009, the CPRB vetoed that plan without prejudice to permit additional time to resolve issues related to fully funding the program. Subsequently, the MTA prepared a revised program totaling $23.812 billion, reflecting a nearly $2 billion reduction effort to sharpen the focus of the program to ensure the delivery of specific customer benefits for the lowest cost. The MTA Board approved the revised plan on April 28, 2010 and the CPRB approved the five-year program of projects on June 1, 2010. The approved program fully funded only the first two years (2010 and 2011) of the plan, with a commitment to come back to CPRB with a funding proposal for the last three years. Proposed Amendment This plan amendment, approved by the MTA Board in December 2011, funds all of the projects in the last three years of the program through a combination of self-help (efficiency improvements and real estate initiatives), participation by our funding partners and innovative and pragmatic financing arrangements. The revised CPRB $22.195 billion plan also spreads projects out evenly over the final three years of the program as listed on the attached blue pages.
