Here is <a href="http://grieve-smith.com/transportation////blog1.php/2010/05/24/new-commercial-zoning-proposal" rel="nofollow">my analysis</a> of the differences. The main differences have to do with commercial zoning along Greenpoint and Roosevelt Avenues. They decrease the allowed height of the buildings (which I am taking a mostly neutral stance on), and decrease the parking requirement between 41st and 44th Streets. From a parking point of view, it's a good change. Thanks to you and to Jimmy’s staff for posting the latest proposal! Here is my analysis of the differences.
