NEW — DO NOT ENTER

Pacific Street at Vanderbilt Avenue
Prospect Heights
Brooklyn, New York

This block of Pacific Street has been closed and eventually would be demapped for Atlantic Yards.

See a close-up of the sign here.

All buildings in the background would be demolished for a temporary surface parking lot for over 1000 cars, and would eventually be the site for several residential towers. This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.

Atlantic Yards Report, Welcome, trucks, to "Carlton Street" and "Pacific Avenue"

Just because developer Bruce Ratner is going to demap sections of Carlton and Pacific, doesn't mean he gets to rename them too:

... whoever prepared the "arena trucking rules"--rules that, by the way, have not always been followed--seems to think there are blocks called "Carlton Street" and "Pacific Avenue."

The sign is placed at the corner of Pacific Street and Vanderbilt Avenue and is aimed at drivers turning west on Pacific, whereupon they are supposed to queue up to Carlton (where there's a light), then go one long block (past the residential Newswalk building) to Sixth Avenue (where there's a light), and then to the arena site.
