Demographers say that New York will grow by a million residents within
the next 25 years, and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg wants to plan for
them. An as-yet unreleased report commissioned by Deputy Mayor Daniel
Doctoroff makes some interesting recommendations—like decking over the
Sunnyside yards and parts of the Brooklyn-Queens expressway— but doesn’t
get into the nitty gritty of who might actually pay for them. Is the
report, Visions for New York City, really that, or is it a map for the
next generation of developers? By William Menking and Anne Guiney.
