2012-07-02 Barclays construction workers make pedestrians some with children walk thru active excavation equipment area

Location: 
620 Atlantic Ave - 6th Ave bet Dean St & Pacific St
When: 
July 2, 2012 - 2:59pm

BOTH sides of 6th Ave sidewalks between Pacific St & Dean St are now blocked with NO PRIOR notice to the community that the east side was also blocked. What appears to be the job site supervisor or foreman is more interested in taking pictures of photographer than flagging, minding or assisting mothers with children, the elderly & other pedestrian’s safely thru an active construction excavating area.

00:54 Mother with child & other pedestrians must navigate an extremely dangerous construction zone into a very busy 6th Ave then in between a dump truck that is blocking the entire sidewalk & the heavy earth mover, NO ONE was flagging or helping!
02:36 With no help from Barclays construction workers pedestrians are walking in the street beginning @ Dean St there are construction worker cars parked on the sidewalk causing even more problems
04:23 pedestrians must walk into traffic
