Lawyers representing Atlantic Yards opponents argue that the state's decision to extend Bruce Ratner's timetable for the site will precipitate significant blight. The initial environmental assessment of the site estimated that the project would be complete by 2016. Though the project now has until 2031 for its completion, the state and Ratner maintain that this will not adversely affect the surrounding neighborhood.
