Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park infographics: what's built/what's coming/what's missing, who's responsible, + project FAQ/timeline (pinned post)

"Anti-masker" construction worker at/near Atlantic Yards site said to harass dad and 6 y.o. son. Developer said to take action. What exactly?

Yesterday, as indicated in the tweets below, "an anti-masker construction worker" at/near the B4 (18 Sixth Ave.) site harassed a dad and his six-year old son "screaming 'Take that muzzle off your kid." 

While no one from the developer(s)/contractor/state responded publicly on Twitter, a representative of the master developer, as indicated in the tweet at bottom, "responded promptly & appropriately...& took action," according to the complainant.

What exactly that was we don't know, but presumably it will be mentioned at the next project Quality of Life Meeting, Tuesday, November 16 at 6 pm on Zoom. Dial In: 646-558-8656 || Passcode: 946 8877 3423#. Meeting ID: 946 8877 3423.

Project-related questions and suggested agenda items may be sent to atlanticyards@esd.ny.gov. Another question arises: how many construction workers have been ignoring safety protocols?

The exchange
When I inquired, I was told by a representative of the developer that the complaint was "being investigated and addressed with the construction teams." 

I was told by Empire State Development that it was "being addressed by the Developer and Construction Team." That said, the state should not merely outsource this but apply oversight.
