ATLANTIC YARDS RATNERVILLE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
ATLANTIC YARDS CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
Weeks beginning January 5, 2009 and January 12, 2009In an effort to keep the Atlantic Yards Community aware of upcoming construction activities, ESD and Forest City Ratner provide the following outline of anticipated upcoming construction activities.
Please note: the scope and nature of activities are subject to change based upon field conditions. All work has been approved by appropriate City and State agencies where required.
In addition to the activities described below noise attenuation and vibration monitoring measures are underway in connection with the Memorandum of Environmental Commitments dated 12/08/06.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact our project Ombudsperson at: 212-803-3233 or AtlanticYards@empire.state.ny.us.
Abatement and Demolition Work
All work described below will comply with the additional oversight and protocols by the Department of Buildings (DOB) that were established on April 30th, 2007.
- Demolition is underway at 800 Pacific Street (block 1129, lot 25) and will continue throughout this two week period.
NoLandGrab: As far as we know, no actual demolition is transpiring at 800 Pacific, which is the last remaining piece of the Ward Bakery. But what about the Carlton Avenue bridge? The ESDC and elected officials remain silent on this debacle, which has cut off easy travel between Prospect Heights and Fort Greene, creating hardship for pedestrians and hampering emergency response. We suggest that New York State apply for federal stimulus funds to rebuild what Forest City Ratner has destroyed, and then bill FCR for the full cost.
