...fact, Wynn would pay $55 million of the projected $330 million cost of the 1.8-mile roadway. Wynn spokesman Alan Feldman, who shamelessly wonders if the holdout residents are trying to bluff more money out of Mirage, says the project will provide road improvements that were planned years ago and will make the neighborhood a better place. Mayor Whelan insists that other roadway routes would have displaced even more homeowners. He's sorry about Bryant Drive, but if Atlantic City doesn't take this next step--"Not just another casino, but an 'Oh, wow!' destination resort"--it will...
