ikea not a complete diaster

when it was announced that ikea would build it's first nyc store in brooklyn, experts and residents were concerned that an influx of automobile traffic would overwhelm the otherwise quiet red hook neighborhood. however, traffic studies conducted since the opening are showing that things are in fact better than most expected.

ikea took great care to implement alternative ways to get to the red hook location, including buses, water taxis, and shuttles. these measures seem to be working. the brooklyn eagle has a full report.
