Floral Park officials submit request to halt Belmont Park construction

Dominick Longobardi - Kate Murray 2.0.

He doesn't want to stop a project from getting off the ground, he wants to stop it once it is off the ground.

Floral Park’s application for a temporary stop work order. DISMISSED. Full steam ahead!

 

[Lame Lambert]

HAHAHAHAHA

 

[CREW99AW]

Lawsuit. DISMISSED. Full steam ahead!

Good news

 

[The Lighthouse]

Lawsuit. DISMISSED. Full steam ahead!

I cannot see Twitter posts at work, but I see that the application for a temporary restraining order was denied, which meant that the case will move forward without a construction halt. Is there now news that the petition(s) were dismissed?

Got it. Still very good news. If I'm the plaintiffs, this is the start of some frank discussions regarding the amount of money necessary to proceed and the low chance of bringing this to a halt. I start thinking about reaching some sort of settlement to save face and maybe extract a few concessions for the constituents.

The complainants will soon be at the point where their settlement will be a gift card to Garden World.

Floral Park should have climbed on board from the start.

I'm surprised they didn't request the TRO immediately. I suppose the problem was demonstrating "irreparable harm."

Especially when the “irreparable harm” amounts to 5 extra cars an hour cutting up Plainfield Avenue.

This is what this is about. They're not going to win. They (local govt officials and community group leaders) just want to be able to tell their constituents that they fought for them and stood up to the state and the developers and maybe even get some concession.

Don't forget all the helicopters flying around disrupting the residents and creating a safety hazard.

Oh wait, that was the mayor....
