From the latest Construction Update: sidewalk's open outside B15; utility work still awaits on southeast block. Still misreporting after-hours variances for B12/B13.

The latest Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park Construction Update (bottom), covering the two weeks beginning today, Monday, Feb. 7, was circulated 2/4/22 at 6:15 pm (lead time) by Empire State Development (ESD) after preparation by Greenland Forest City Partners. 

There's not much different from the previous update. Notably, utility work is still pending at the southeast block of the site.

Near the arena

Outside B15 (662 Pacific St., aka Plank Road), the sidewalk replacement work is now complete, and the sidewalk is open to pedestrian traffic. As previously stated, there will be improvements to the street in early spring when weather conditions permit.

The document is sloppily prepared, because it still says that, at B4 (18 Sixth Ave., aka Brooklyn Crossing), "leasing activities will begin in the coming weeks." They started more than a month ago.  In other words, ESD doesn't check.

On Dean Street

Work remains forecast, but not yet executed for the B12/B13 (615 Dean St./595 Dean St.) tower sites between Carlton and Vanderbilt avenue.

As previously predicted, Con Ed may be on site to install interconnection feeder cables between vaults; National Grid is expected to install a new high pressure gas main; Altice is expected to install new telecom conduits; and Verizon may install/pull new fiber optic cables on Dean St. These have been forecast several times, but apparently didn't happen. 

After-hours work continues; some misreported 

Regarding after-hours work at B4 (18 Sixth Ave.), the Construction Update accurately lists weekday work 5 am to 10 pm. Saturday work is listed accurately as 9 am to 5 pm. Sunday work can be the same hours, but there are no after-hours variances yet.

Regarding after-hours work at B12 & B13, the document accurately states weekday work hours are 6 am to 6 pm. It also says "Saturday work from 9 AM – 5 PM will continue."

Rather, this past Saturday's variance was again until 5:30 pm, continuing a pattern, representing a small but not unimportant advantage, and nondisclosure.
