Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park FAQ, timeline, and infographics (pinned post)

From the latest Construction Update: more overnight/weekend work (but not noisy) at the Vanderbilt Yard, starting Monday. After-hours work 7 am today at B12/B13.

The latest Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Construction Update (bottom), covering the two weeks beginning April 19 was circulated yesterday at 12:35 pm (lead time) by Empire State Development (ESD) after preparation by Greenland Forest City Partners. 

From Monday April 19 though Friday April 30, according to the Update, the Long Island Rail Road has "has tentatively scheduled track alignment and geometry testing and verification of the recently completed Yard Storage Tracks."

Otherwise there's no contrast with the previous Update regarding expected work.

After-hours work continues 

Regarding after-hours work at B4 (18 Sixth Ave.), the document accurately lists weekday work 5 am to 10 pm and Saturday and Sunday 9 am to 5 pm. 

Regarding after-hours work at B15 (662 Pacific St.), the document accurately cites weekday work 6 am to 10 pm and Saturday and Sunday 9 am to 5 pm.

Regarding after-hours work at B12 & B13 (615 Dean St. and 595 Dean St.), the document states that "Saturday work will continue during this reporting period." No time is cited, but today's variance is for 7 am to 3:30 pm, as with the two previous Saturdays. Before that, the work was from 9 am to 5 pm.
