A Look at Barclays as "Pedestrian-Friendly"

7

Noah Kazis of Streetsblog is all about making urban environments pedestian-friendly and on Wednesday wrote a lengthy and balanced post on whether Barclays Center can meet that standard. While noting that "the Atlantic/Pacific [subway station] makes the area better-served by transit than almost anywhere else in the United States", a 1,100-car parking lot could wind up "killing street life and inducing driving". He compares Barclays to both MSG and the Verizon Center in Washington.
