From the latest Construction Alert: Barclays sign being erected; work on perimeter of arena progresses; more noise in neighborhood
Atlantic Yards Report
Beyond the quiet announcement that pile/foundation work would start on the first tower, there are a couple of other notable mentions in the latest two-week Atlantic Yards Construction Alert, dated 7/2/12 (and embedded below) and released today by Empire State Development after preparation by Forest City Ratner.
Among them:
- the Flatbush Avenue Barclays sign is being erected (it may not be the best time for a Barclays sign)
- significant sidewalk and plaza work is being done around the arena (and blocking the sidewalk)
- potentially noisy demolition will continue intermittently on Block 1129, site of the surface parking lot
- nighttime work on the Atlantic Avenue medians would require jack hammers
