During the overnight concrete pour, yes, a piece of B12 site used for trucks (despite lack of explicit notice)
At the Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Quality of Life meeting 0/17/19, Tobi Jaiyesimi, point person for Empire State Development (ESD)--the state authority overseeing/shepherding the project--took note of complaints that the state had failed to notice neighbors about certain work on the southeast block of the site.
"There was a concrete pour [at the B4 or B15 site, where towers are under construction] but there was no explicit mention of the B12 site for concrete truck-wash out," she said. "And so moving forward we’ll be sure to emphasize the use of the B12 for concrete truck wash-outs."
Well, not quite.
As I reported Friday, a suspiciously early two-week Construction Update, aimed for the two weeks beginning tomorrow, 9/30/19, rather quietly offered one day's notice for overnight work starting that night--work that presumably should have been in a special announcement as a supplement to the previous Construction Update, since it fell in that time period.
According to the Update:
Well, according to video posted by neighbor Peter Krashes, the use of B12 was certainly not as extensive as in the previous example, but the trucks were not strictly limited to Pacific Street. In other words, they didn't quite follow the pledge.

According to the Update:
A significant foundation pour is scheduled for Friday, September 27th, in the evening and will last through Saturday. Work will begin at about 10pm on Friday evening and continue through Saturday. Concrete trucks will stage along Atlantic Avenue outside of Barclays Center and then use the Pacific Street queue area for washout.As I wrote, it was unclear whether the "Pacific Street queue area" would be limited to Pacific Street between Carlton and Vanderbilt avenues or, as was highlighted in recent complaints to ESD, the B12 site closer to Dean Street.
