Here's today's enigma: What does "operational conflicts" mean? Because those are the stated reasons for late night work pile drilling underneath Vanderbilt Avenue and below-grade at the Vanderbilt Yard for a week starting this Tuesday, as well as work next weekend.
(Note that the precise location is not specified in the Community Notice, at right and below.)
The term "operational conflicts" could mean anything, including simply "we want to get the work done faster before winter to meet our deadlines."
The weeknight work, which starts at 7 am, will last until midnight, and the weekend work will be 8 am to 8 pm.
And while the notice states that "[l]ocalized directional lighting will be used and all construction equipment meets environmental project requirements regarding noise," that doesn't mean the work won't be intrusive.
