Outside under-construction tower at Carlton/Dean, dump truck fells traffic pole and sign

There's a meeting today of the Atlantic Yards Community Development Corporation (AY CDC), which is supposed to offer oversight and insight regarding the project (but, outside of a few individuals, hasn't done much or been given much to do).

The board may be told about the many monitors who are said to be regularly monitoring the site.

But it took citizen monitors yesterday to take photos and video of a dump truck exiting the 535 Carlton construction site and knocking down a pole with a traffic sign at the corner of Carlton Avenue and Dean Street.

Another view from another neighbor. Dump truck company is Sal's Hauling. @empirestatedev @nyc_dot @nycmayorsoffice @nyc311 @atlanticyards_pacificpk_report @pacificparkbk #bciza #535carlton @greenlandforestcitypartners

Video forwarded by neighbor who witnessed truck exiting 535 Carlton Avenue knocking over traffic sign pole today. No OEM or "MEs" in sight unless the MEs are employees of Tishman or Plaza. The dump truck must have been trying to back up in order to pass through the intersection the wrong way. A neighbor of the intersection said fire trucks have a hard time with the turn because Carlton is so narrowed. @nyc_dot @nyc311 @nypd78thpcc @empirestatedev @hdr_inc @STVGroup #pacificparkbk @atlanticyards_pacificpk_report @pacificparkbk #bciza
