The Coney Island redevelopment plan goes before the comm. board tonight, and Eliot Brown reports on an overlooked hurdle: "The Bloomberg administration’s own environmental impact statement clearly states, major improvements would be needed to accommodate the growth the city expects.

To date, the city has not publicly given a specific cost estimate on these improvements." [TRE]
