Two accidents occur within an hour on Dean Street Monday morning
Two car accidents occurred inside one hour, and within two contiguous blocks on Dean Street Monday morning, May 23rd.
Amy Sara Clark reports in the Prospect Heights Patch that a four car accident took place at 7:30 a.m. on Dean Street between Carlton and 6th Avenues when a driver swerved to avoid a double parked car. The driver was taken to the hospital with unspecified injuries.
Only minutes later at 8:15 a.m., another accident occurred on Dean Street between Carlton and Vanderbilt when a street cleaner driving against traffic hit a car traveling with the traffic. The street cleaner works for Laquila who is a contractor on Barclays Center construction. It is unclear why the street cleaner was driving in the incorrect direction during peak driving time.
Streets not being cleaned due to parked cars
Cars are not being moved to allow for street cleaning. This morning on Pacific St. at 11:45 not one car had been moved. The supervisor at the gate to the construction site on Dean told me that their workers could not leave the job to move their cars!

Street Cleaning, or lack thereof
Illegal Parking
There are three sources of illegal parking in the immediate proximity of the project site. City employees associated with the 78th Precinct, FDNY Ladder Company 105 and HPD regularly park on sidewalks and use illegal placards on 6th Avenue, Dean Street and Bergen Street. Members of the Temple of Restoration Church regularly double park on Dean Street between 6th and Carlton Avenues throughout the week.
Construction Workers regularly park illegally in no standing zones and sidewalks on Pacific Street between 6th Avenue and Carlton Avenue, on the 6th Avenue Bridge, and intermingled with 78th Precinct employee cars. The illegal parking at times is three rows wide and during this period has sometimes blocked the marked street.
