With this week’s dismissal of the Atlantic Yards environmental impact lawsuit and news this morning that construction on the project is starting to affect the lives of nearby residents, we thought it would be a good time to check in on some of the demolition that’s been moving ahead while the pencil-pushers have been fighting it out in court. Over at 647 Dean Street (at the corner of Vanderbilt), the formerly empty lot is now a graveyard of the muscular concrete columns that used to hold up the warehouse building one lot to the west. If you take any good Atlantic Yards demo photos this weekend, please send them along. GMAP P*Shark

  1. Don’t worry, folks. The lawsuits will stop this thing. Why, just look at the impressive record of court victories by the AY opponents thus far. I admire their courage and fortitude and am so, so confident that they will prevail.

  2. The Environmental Impact “Study” was pathetic.

    News on the Carlton Avenue Bridge:
    “They” have had the big flashing sign up for a week or more with “Bridge closing 1/16”. Frankly, as someone wrote on this site, this is a Trojan Wedge in the community. Anyway, last night it was open with the sign updated to “Bridge closing 1/23”. Apparently, they are stating it will be closed 3 years.
