Traffic Signal, Street Lights, Crosswalk Signals all out at 6th Avenue & Dean Street

Atlantic Yards Watch

Someone's going to get killed at the intersection of 6th Avenue and Dean Street, but surely the giant arena being built right there has nothing to do with the power outages, right?

Very dangerous. Walking back home tonight I saw a near accident with 2 cars. Very dark. No police or other city agency official was at the intersection when I walked by. Another neighbor I met nearby said that the lights go out at this intersection nightly.

This was shot on August 6, 2012 at 11pm. It is very dark video because the street lights and traffic signals were out. There were no NYPD or other officials here. It has apparently been happening nightly, according to a resident who lives nearby.

The Barclays Center Arena is in the background.

It is dangerous.
