A hazardous situation at Sixth Avenue and Dean Street

Yesterday was a rough one for pedestrians at Sixth Avenue and Dean Street, where construction continued on the northwest corner for the B3 tower, aka 38 Sixth Avenue.

As detailed in the first Instagram post, a flagger waved vehicles through even when pedestrians had the green, thus putting them in peril. As shown in the second post from Wayne Bailey, a truck blocked southbound traffic on Sixth Avenue, though there should have been a place inside the construction fence for such trucks.

An email sent to me by Dean St Resident reports "nearly got ran over" this morning because of #pacificparkbk Safeway Atlantic 18 wheeler blocked entire traffic lane at 6th Ave & Dean St and "flag man kept waving cars through" when pedestrians had the walk light, "glad I'm alive to tell story" #535carlton #550vanderbilt #38sixthave #pacificparkbk #78thprecinct #communityboard8 #615Dean #664pacific #pedistriansafety #moreenvironmentalmonitors @empireststedev email sent to me 2016-04-16 4:21pm

#pacificparkbk no notice street closure or in 2 week look ahead from @pacificparkbk why was the truck parked on 6th Ave in the 1st place when trucks have a loading - unloading area that is just on the other side of fence? Was no one around to unlock both gates to let them in? #bciza #communityboard8 #78thprecinct #constructionimpactsmatter #615Dean #664pacific #38sixthave #550vanderbilt #535carlton #ayreport @nyc_dot #aycdcboard #ayreport #moreenvironmentalmonitors @empirestatedev #pedistriansafety 2016-04-16 approx 12:40pm
