State says "no formal permission granted for parking along Atlantic Avenue" outside arena. Which means...?

Empire State Development has posted notes (also below) from the 3/2/21 Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Quality of Life meeting (my coverage), and there's a little more to add.

I got an answer to a question I posed: "Has the arena been given permission to 'combat park' on Atlantic Avenue where there is a 'No Standing Anytime' sign?"

March 11, 2021

The answer: "There has been no formal permission granted for parking along Atlantic Avenue. Parking signage is regulated by NYC Department of Transportation and enforced by the NYPD."

So, maybe that means there's informal permission? 

To be fair, drivers can't continue in the parking lane, or even the next lane--to which the parked cars extend--because it's ultimately blocked by the construction of the B4 tower, 18 Sixth Ave. 

But (non-combat) parking has long been common in that parking lane, despite the signage.

Litter around the railyard

In response to questions raised at the meeting, the notes state that "Community complaints about the trash and litter [around the MTA's Vanderbilt Yard] will be addressed with LIRR personnel."

Next AY CDC meeting coming?

The notes also remind us that the next meeting of the advisory Atlantic Yards Community Development Corporation (AY CDC) "will be held in late-March," which is coming soon, so anticipate an announcement soon.
