NYU 2031 Receives "Easy Approval" from CPC

"New York University reined in its expansion plans further today by eliminating a controversial hotel and accommodations for retail, paving the way for an easy approval from the City Planning Commission," begins The Local East Village article about the City Planning Commission (CPC) vote in favor of NYU 2031 (emphasis added).

Easy despite objections to the 20-year expansion plan by elected officials (here), Community Board 2 (here), community organizations (here) including a legal brief - the GVSHP Gibson Dunn Report (here), and approximately 1,394 pages from the public (here).
