From the latest (and belated) Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Construction Alert: Atlantic Avenue crane disassembly Oct. 24; night and weekend work continues

Not unlike the way the confirmation for tonight's Community Update meeting came with one business day's notice, the latest Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Construction Update (excerpts below, in full at bottom) was sent by Empire State Development (ESD) nearly two days late, arriving at 4:41 pm yesterday but supposed to cover the two weeks beginning October 12.

Note that the Atlantic Avenue crane is now supposed to be disassembled on Saturday October 24; the alert fails to mention that, in the previous alert, the crane was supposed to be disassembled this past Saturday, October 10. (The alert announces new work with asterisks--and, in the original, a red font--but not that previously promised work didn't happen.)

Notable is continued Saturday work "to address field conditions" at the B2, B3, B14  and B15 sites, as well as weekday work up until 9 pm at B14. Note night and weekend work at the railyard. Also note contact information for ESD and Greenland Forest City Partners in the full document.
