From the latest Construction Update: increase of truck activity (again?) at southeast block; failure (again) to disclose 6 am weekday work on that block
The latest Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Construction Update (bottom), covering the two weeks beginning Monday, July 12, was circulated yesterday at 1:02 pm (lead time) by Empire State Development (ESD) after preparation by Greenland Forest City Partners.
At least according to the only passage marked in red, there's just one announced change from the previous Update: at the B12/B13 site (615 Dean St. & 595 Dean St.), work on the concrete superstructure for the plaza, cellar, and subcellar levels of the two towers will generate "an increase in truck activity."
The problem is that the very same passage, in red, was in the previous Update.
That either means 1) they're lazy/sloppy and didn't bother to revise the document they circulated or 2) the increase in truck activity signaled two weeks ago didn't happen, but now it's expected to happen.
Perhaps we'll learn more at the virtual Quality of Life meeting scheduled for Tuesday July 16 at 6 pm. (I'll have a preview on that soon.)
The estimated number of trucks (20? 50? more?) was not specified.
After-hours work continues
Regarding after-hours work at B4 (18 Sixth Ave.), the Construction Update accurately lists weekday work 5 am to 10 pm, Saturday work 9 am to 5 pm, and Sunday work 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 9 am to 5 pm, and Sunday work 9 am to 5 pm.
Regarding after-hours work at B12 & B13, the document states "Saturday work will continue during this reporting period."
No time is cited, and no variance for the two-week time period is yet available, but work has taken place at 7 am to 3:30 pm on some weeks and is scheduled today for 9 am to 5 pm.

It shouldn't be too hard for them to specify what time period they're aiming for.
A continued omission
Continuing the pattern from the past three updates, the document again fails to acknowledge before-hours weekday work at B12/B13, starting at 6 am, with an after-hours variance approved through Friday, July 16, as shown in the screenshot above right.
Such minimal disclosure is the responsibility of TF Cornerstone, which is developing those sites; Greenland Forest City Partners, the master developer; and Empire State Development.
