From the Press Release:

Brooklyn, New York, August 8, 2006—The Prospect Place Block Association, a member of the Prospect Heights Neighborhood Development Council (PHNDC), announced today the publication of the first comprehensive survey of local opinion about developer Bruce Ratner's proposed Atlantic Yards development. The survey focuses on both what Prospect Place residents think about Forest City Ratner's proposed development for Prospect Heights, and how they wish their local representatives to respond. It is the first such survey undertaken by any block association in Prospect Heights.

According to the survey, 87% of local residents want the Prospect Place Block Association to oppose the Atlantic Yards proposal, while 5% want it to take a position in favor...

Of those who responded, 94% support some development of the site, but 92% are opposed to development above 28 stories. The Ratner proposal calls for buildings up to 60 stories. 85% are opposed to eminent domain at the site...

The Prospect Place Block Association formed an Atlantic Yards Taskforce to ascertain and represent the interests of the block residents; all residents of Prospect Place between Flatbush and Underhill were invited to join. The Taskforce made an intensive effort to reach every resident by mailing or delivering surveys door-to-door; it also posted flyers and approached residents on the street. The complete set of responses (without identities) is available on request.
