Before Community Update meeting, photos/video show questionable construction activity, including street/sidewalk closures, street lights out, bus stop blocked

Just in time for tonight's Community Update meeting, let's consult some Instagram posts from the most active monitors of the Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park project and construction site, showing much questionable activity, including: street lights out, unannounced street closure, blocking a bus stop, a sidewalk closure, and a bike lane blocked.

All street lights are out from @barclayscenter VIP entrance to 6th Ave, total darkness on south side of Atlantic Ave; #nypd78thprecinct notified @nyc_dot @atlanticyards_pacificpk_report @nycmayorsoffice #bciza #lovesquad

Dean Street closed without notice for project related work. The work underway is not minor - there are markings up and down the street for cuts into the asphalt. Plus the work in the street is wildly loud; note the pedestrian running. I've looked at the previous construction alert and the current one which arrived after this video was taken. Perhaps I'm missing it but I can't find a reference to this work or the street closure in either. #bciza #PacificParkbk @EmpireStateDev @hdr_inc @StvGroup @nypd78thpcc @nycmayorsoffice @nyc_dot @nyc311 @atlanticyards_pacificpk_report

Sidewalk closed barricade rotated in a way that blocks the open sidewalk instead of marking the closed sidewalk at the Dean/Vanderbilt intersection. This is speculation, but the condition is likely to have been created to enable truck/trucks with a large turning radius to turn into Dean Street in the illegal direction from Vanderbilt. (See earlier entry from today). The rotation wasn't easy because the base of the sign is a very large block of wood. It must have required considerable muscle. I found the condition Friday, April 8 at 11:43 am and it persisted all weekend. @nyc_dot @nycmayorsoffice @nyc311 @pacificparkbk @hdr_inc @StvGroup #PacificParkbk #bciza @empirestatedev @nypd78thpcc

I looked out the window Friday morning only to see a large construction truck driving the wrong way up Dean Street from Vanderbilt to Carlton. The street must have been closed temporarily-- and illegally.
