From the latest Atlantic Yards Construction Alert: again, plans for crane removal; new round of railyard work
According to the latest two-week Atlantic Yards Construction Alert, dated Monday, 11/11/13 but released yesterday afternoon (three days late) with no explanation, Dean Street between Flatbush and Sixth avenues will be closed (updated: for a period of time)
one day--perhaps today for the remover of the crawler crane.
Note that the removal was supposed to happen this week, and hasn't happened yet. Then again, according to the previous two-week alert, it was supposed to happen during the week starting October 28.
Also, a new round of interim work begins at the Vanderbilt Yard, preliminary to a formal start of the permanent railyard.
The document was released by Empire State Development, the state agency overseeing/shepherding the project, after preparation by developer Forest City Ratner. It's unclear who's responsible for the delay.
Below are excerpts from the document.
