Multiple questionable activities associated with 535 Carlton Monday and Tuesday
There were multiple problems with construction associated with 535 Carlton Avenue on Monday night and Tuesday morning.
1). As has already been posted on AYW, late Monday afternoon no parking flyers were hung on approximately 10 street trees on Carlton between Dean and Bergen Streets. The flyers banned parking on both sides of the street starting at 7 AM Tuesday morning. They did not provide any contact information so it was impossible to know on whose behalf the parking was being removed.

Rowdy crowds after Islanders/Rangers game include profane chants and two fights
As fans exited the arena after the Rangers/Islanders game, many stayed on the plaza to chant for the Islanders, including a group (recorded on video on Vimeo https://vimeo.com/147749969) led by a man beating a drum. At :50 in the video they begin chanting "F- the Rangers" and giving the finger. This went on for some time and was more or less brought to an end by a fight involving several men. A group of police officers tamed the atmosphere moments afterward.

Dean Street jammed with cars; Noise from traffic increased by wall; Carlton Avenue closed without notice
Carlton Avenue was closed without notice last night and as a result Dean Street was turned into a traffic jam. It is now a regular occurrence that Dean Street from Carlton to Vanderbilt is jammed.
At some points in the week the movement across Vanderbilt Avenue on Dean Street is failed as an intersection because cars take minutes to get through the intersection.
