From the latest Construction Alert: Dean Street sidewalk to close near Sixth Avenue for two days

For the second straight time, Empire State Development released (after preparation by Greenland Forest City Partners) the latest two-week Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Construction Alert, covering the two week period beginning Dec. 7, one business day ahead of time--which should have been the minimum lead time all along.

(Many previous alerts arrived a day late.)

Previously scheduled temporary electric manhole installation at the B3 site (Sixth Avenue and Dean Street) was postponed but will take place during this reporting period. This will involve a two day closing of the sidewalk along the north side of Dean Street, and leave only one 11’ lane open for traffic. All work done in accordance with obtained DOT permits.

Note continuing Saturday work on the B2 (461 Dean), B3 (38 Sixth Avenue), B11 (550 Vanderbilt), B14 (535 Carlton), and B15 (664 Pacific) sites, as well as work up to 9 pm weekdays on B14.

Weekend electrical utility work will continue in the LIRR tunnel, while weekend railyard/West Portal work that requires coordination with LIRR operations may be performed during the reporting period. Weekday railyard work hours may extend up until 7 pm during this reporting period in order to complete daily cable pulling operations.

There will be continued "interior work" and "exterior façade adjustments and paint repairs" at the B2 modular tower site, where the modules were supposed to have arrived complete.

Regarding the arena green roof, the "replacement of Barclay’s [sic] roof identification will be taking place during this reporting period." I thought the decal was gone.
