Before Furthur concert, (improper) idling on the Barclays Center pad

Trucks and buses aren't supposed to idle on the Barclays Center "pad"--the strip of parking on Dean Street next to the loading dock and screened off from the bicycle parking area (which itself is the site for a future tower)--but they still do.

After complaints were raised at 5/7/13 Atlantic Yards Quality of Life Committee meeting, as I reported, state official Arana Hankin (since departed) said that the pad could be used for parking, but ā€œIdling is not allowed, not tolerated." Moreover, any vehicle running generators was "an issue."

As noted on Atlantic Yards Watch, beginning more than a day before the Furthur concert at the arena last night, buses were idling and generators running for continuously for more than 28 hours.
