From the latest Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Construction Update: Pacific Street to be restored to two-way traffic, sidewalk bridge coming on Atlantic
The latest Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Construction Update, for the weeks beginning October 13 and October 20, was released at about 12:30 pm today by Empire State Development, after preparation by Greenland Forest City Partners.
The document, the text of which is pasted in below (and in full), discloses relatively little that seems dramatic.
On Atlantic Avenue, as workers prepare for a mat for a crane to be used for the green roof, they will not chop out the existing sidewalk but instead install infill of stone/gravel. (What exactly that means isn't clear to me.) The date for installation of that crane has not been set.
Also, a sidewalk bridge to protect pedestrians from any falling objects will be installed along Atlantic Avenue near the arena.
Tomorrow, October 15, weather permitting, Pacific Street between 6th Avenue and Carlton Avenue will be restored to two-way traffic.
Also, though it was supposed to start in the previous two-week permit, demolition of 752 Pacific Street is expected to start during this reporting period.
Questions may be sent to Nicole Jordan ESD’s Manager, Pacific Park Brooklyn Project Community/Government Relations at 212-803-3736 or AtlanticYards@esd.ny.gov, or Greenland Forest City's Community Liaison Office, information below.
The text below is from the document.
B-2 Tower, Modular Residential
• Work at the B2 site and within the modular factory has been halted.
Arena Green Roof
• Site preparation within the B3 site location and behind the Atlantic Avenue Maintenance and Protection (MPT) will continue
• On Atlantic Avenue, prep work for the crane mat will continue. The existing sidewalk will not need to be chopped out; temporary infill of stone/gravel will be installed. Installation of the sidewalk bridge along Atlantic Avenue will commence during this reporting period.
• Steel deliveries will begin on or about October 22nd. Deliveries will be made to both the B3 and Atlantic Avenue crane locations.
• Due to changes in construction logistics, the Atlantic Avenue crane required for the Green Roof construction was not installed during the weekend of October 10th and will be installed at a later date. It is expected that the installation, which is smaller than the crane located within the B3 site, will have minimal impacts. A community notice will be issued in advance of the installation date.
The revised Community Notice, which has been distributed to the community, is attached.
