New York Islanders Daily: Belmont Opposition Wants to Measure Stakes Traffic

No matter what you do to try to please the masses there’s always going to be people who are against you. The perfect example of this is the those who are against the new Belmont Park arena that the New York Islanders plan on building.

Instead of looking at the potential for new jobs, an influx of spending in their community, etc., the opponents of the proposed Belmont Park development want to harp on traffic.

In order to get an idea of what it would be like to have an arena with over 200 events per year, the opposition would like there to be a study on the traffic of the Belmont Stakes this week.
