Behind the green wall, photo shows no action + no "park" around 550 Vanderbilt

The photo below, sent by a reader recently, suggests there's nothing going on behind the green wall encroaching on Dean Street at the southeast block of the project, despite claims it was necessary to protect against the impact of construction.

There are fewer workers' cars parked, though, and that seemed to be the main usage when I examined in in June. As of June, state officials said they'd wait six months--anticipating a possible construction launch--to decide whether to move it.

And there's no park around 550 Vanderbilt, despite the hype. (There's is a small amount of interim open space coming.) That's why they've needed virtual reality to project it, despite a broker saying "Green space surrounds these buildings."
