A crowd estimated by organizer at 100 gathered for an 8AM demonstration on Flatbush Avenue this morning to protest the start of demolition by Forest City Ratner within the Atlantic Yards footprint. On Friday, a judge declined to issue a Temporary Restraining Order before a challenge to the Atlantic Yards Environmental Review is heard. Demolition on four buildings started today. The developer plans to demolish a total of 15 buildings. Develop Don't Destroy's Daniel Goldstein called the demolitions prior to the conclusion of litigation a "dangerous and undesirable scenario." A full set of photos has been posted by photographer Jonathan Barkey on Pbase.
