Dear PlanNYC Users:
Thank you for visiting PlanNYC.
As of July 7, 2010, we have suspended daily news updating on this website, and will not be adding new developments or policy and legislative debates.
PlanNYC, a student-run website based at NYU’s Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy, has proudly served New Yorkers for five years. During that time, the growth of online information on land use and development issues, along with advances in technology such as RSS feeds and news alerts, have created many opportunities for New Yorkers to stay informed about housing and land use debates in the City. As a result, the daily news updating on this site has become less unique and less critical to our users.
We are pleased to keep the existing PlanNYC content online as a resource; all content on the site is current of July 6, 2010, but will not be updated after that date.
We hope you continue to use the data and research available at the Furman Center (which you can find at www.furmancenter.org), and we welcome your ideas and suggestions for how we can continue to provide objective information and analysis about land use and housing policy debates in New York City.
For additional information or questions, please email furmancenter@nyu.edu.

The Real Estate Board of New York (RENBY) has come out in support of another stop at West 41st Street and 10th Avenue as part of the Number 7 train line expansion. RENBY Chairwoman and CEO, Mary Ann Tighe, applauded the City for raising $2 billion to expand the line. She cautioned, however, that spending the full amount on one station was less effective than splitting the money between the two stations. The group is concerned that many residents and businesses have moved into the area under the belief that the expansion would take place. Supporters recently launched, www.buildthestation.com, where people can lobby for money to save the planned stop.
