Did Dean Street Block Association hold its last block party?
Atlantic Yards Watch
Dean Street Block Association, 6th Avenue to Vanderbilt has held block parties on Dean Street between 6th Avenue and Carlton for years. That block will soon be sandwiched between the future Barclays Center and its anticipated 1100 space accessory parking lot.

The community near the project, much of it with roots that goes back decades, is now wondering if the block association will be allowed to close the street for block parties in the future. Barclays Center operation may prevent the annual celebration. The quintessential Brooklyn block party has always been one of the highlights of the summer for neighborhood families.
