The Village of Floral Park on Friday asked a judge for a temporary restraining order to immediately stop construction of the Belmont arena, toughening its stance in a lawsuit opposing the $1.3 billion development.
Court documents show attorneys for the judge to prohibit developers from:
- Using the eastern portion of the Belmont Park’s North Lot as a staging area for project construction vehicles and/or New York Racing Association support operations or vehicles.
- Driving construction trucks down Plainfield Avenue in Floral Park.
