Day 2 - AY Dump Truck Illegal Idling & turns non-designated Public St corner into potential dangerous staging area

Day 2 of a deluge of chaotic 30~35 plus Atlantic Yards dump trucks; many use SE corner of Pacific St & 6th Ave instead of official FCR staging area and illegally idled for more than 1 hour in some instances; Dump trucks also illegally idles underneath residential apartments for over 35 minutes & queue/park illegally in red "No Standing Only" in oncoming traffic lane on SE Pacific St & 6th Ave having no required flaggers stopping them @ Carlton Ave & Pacific St official staging area. Almost ALL (98%) dump truck construction traffic fails to stop @ "Stop Here on Red Light" blocking the entrance to the LIRR temp ramp. Also reported that 5 of these errant dump trucks used Dean St/St Marks not truck routs to traverse to the SE corner of Pacific St & 6th Ave.

The 1st video start slow then the 2nd & 3rd video’s show trucks going awry because the trucks were just arriving.

00:00 over 20+ dump trucks in RR yards so congested reason seems to dictate not to allow any more in

00:14 5~8 more are arriving via Pacific St.

04:36 Flagger releases 5 dump trucks thru before yard has room, so what do they do? Park underneath residential building & idle.

05:20 show 1 dump truck still illegally in red "No Standing Only" & illegally idles (total time is now over 19 min 35 sec) so now the 5 dump trucks park anywhere they can (including double parking) illegally & idle.

06:12 now 6th truck released that shouldn’t

06:37 2nd yellow truck further encroaches on to sidewalk

06:54 show that the yard is still too congested (around 12 trucks inside) to accept any more new arriving trucks

07:43 continued dump truck double parking & illegally idling

08:28 AY dump truck appears to use Carlton Ave (not truck route) & right turns on Pacific St

08:31 2 more trucks (1 released) to add to the chaos (may be full)

09:21 show that the yard is still too congested (around 11 trucks inside) to accept any more new arriving trucks

01:01 Tractor trailer parks on the 6th Ave Bridge to be staged

01:45 Dump truck cover is nonexistent, so much missing it doesn’t prevent anything from blowing out & fails to stop @ "Stop Here on Red Light" blocking the entrance to the LIRR temp ramp

02:48 Yard seems to be empty enough to accept more trucks but since they’re no flaggers with radios so they still illegally park & illegally idle in front of residential building

03:26 with tractor trailer & yellow truck staging on 6th Ave bridge traffic causes dangerous traffic congestion because the SB traffic can’t get by unless the cross into oncoming traffic; where are the flaggers @ 6th & Pacific arena gate?

03:56 to 04:00 Full Atlantic Yards Dump truck crosses Atlantic Ave from 6th Ave onto N Portland that is NOT a truck route (That happened 3 or 4 times)

04:15~04:29 No flaggers; too many trucks cause traffic congestion

04:34 A white tractor trailer parks on the NE corner of N Portland causing NB traffic to veer into oncoming traffic

04:58 Tractor trailer parks on the 6th Ave Bridge to be staged continues to cause dangerous traffic congestion & 6~7 dump trucks still illegally park & illegally idle in front of residential building

05:51 white tractor trailer still parked on the NE corner of N Portland causing NB traffic to veer into oncoming traffic

06:31 Yard totally empty enough to accept more trucks but since they’re no flaggers with radios so they still illegally park & illegally idle in front of residential building

07:25 2 trucks move to park closer to 6th Ave

07:49 truck still does not move
