Michael Hershman of Soloviev Group discusses plans for keeping crime at bay and traffic in check for a proposed NYC casino on the East Side.
One of several Manhattan developers in the battle royal for a coveted state gaming license wants to quell New Yorkers’ top concerns surrounding the opening of a possible full-scale NYC casino on the East Side.
For starters, while the development project will likely include lots of entertainment options, the Soloviev team decided to make a smaller, intimate performance space with a capacity of only 3,000 seats to avoid increasing pedestrian and vehicular traffic in the area. “There will be no vehicular entrances to the property on First Avenue in order to avoid the build-up of traffic on that street,” Hershman said, adding that the busy uptown thoroughfare will only offer pedestrian thruways.
“I have been clear for many years,” Krueger said at a town hall meeting in February. “I oppose casinos and gambling in general. I find it to be a tax on desperation, with no society benefits and real prices to be paid.”
