News from the (delayed) Construction Update: ramps on Dean Street, demolitions continue, long-term visual mockup of "weathered steel façade panels"
Atlantic Yards Report
As attention falls off from Atlantic Yards, does the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC), the agency in charge of oversight, slack off?
The Atlantic Yards Construction Update--aka two-week look-ahead--dated January 31 (embedded below) was sent out four days late, on February 3.
Why, I asked ESDC spokeswoman Elizabeth Mitchell, who responded February 4, "ESDC attempts to distribute the Construction Updates every other Monday. On rare occasions there are delays if construction issues are still in flux."
Given that the updates come from Forest City Ratner, there's a good chance that the ESDC simply had its hands tied.
