As New York Heats Up, Workers Try To Stay Cool
All Things Considered
by Joel Rose
It's summer, ergo, it's hot.
ROSE: It was also business as usual at Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn, where construction of a new basketball arena is under way. Electrician Steve Lewis is rewiring streetlights on Flatbush Avenue near the future arena.
Mr. STEVE LEWIS: Nothing's different. Just do your job and make sure you drink a lot of water to stay cool. This is nothing, wait 'til Friday, right?
NoLandGrab: Think Friday'll be bad? Wait 'til the first time a few thousand arena-goers try to drive down Dean Street to Bruce Ratner's 1,100-car surface parking lot.
