Dean Street sewer and water main work now said to start on/about Jan. 6.

On Dec. 31, a day after I published (thanks to BK Reader) news that work on the long-delayed "Pacific Park Project Phase II – Combined Sewer Installation and Water Main Replacement on Dean Street between 6th Avenue and Vanderbilt Avenue" was expected to start in 2025, well, the New York City Department of Design and Construction circulated a notice stating such work would start on or about Jan. 6.

The work will begin at the intersection of Dean Street and Sixth Avenue, and move east on Sixth to Vanderbilt Avenue, then turn up Vanderbilt.

No timetable was announced, though, as I reported, the work was supposed to start in October 2022 and take 36 months.

What's unclear is what impact it will have on traffic and other activity on busy Dean Street. Shouldn't that be raised at the next Atlantic Yards Quality of Life meeting?

Residents with concerns and questions can contact Ian Thornell, Community Construction Liaison
