2014-06-16 B2 Mod blocks bike & left turn lane creating new hazardous traffic pattern change no warning -
Unistalled B2 mod blocks left NB 6th Ave turn and high traffic bike commuting lane; bikers must egress into car traffic; no warning signs in advance to warn drivers or cyclists that a new hazardous traffic pattern change! This is already a highly congested traffic area. 1 cyclists was so confused he crossed over to the side of Dean St that is not marked bike lane. (see picture) This is @ the peak traffic time.

Dust from construction was blowing toward the Barclays Center Dean Street entrance as a result of the digging at B2 today.  I photographed the attached at 5:10.  I saw another column of dust at around 5:45 when I passed by again.
 

Whether from deliveries, or from construction work itself, the back-up alarm for construction vehicles are getting triggered early in the morning on block 1129 and Pacific Street between Carlton and Vanderbilt.  The back-up alarm cuts right through good quality double paned windows.
There is no notice in the construction alerts of work occurring outside of normal construction hours in this location.  A recent supplemental construction alert gives notice of after hours work at Atlantic and 6th.  
A video can be found here shot through a closed window:
