Construction Effects
In April, May, and June, you can expect the following:
- Modified pedestrian paths on 5th Avenue and Baltic Street adjacent to the site will allow necessary infrastructure and site work. Signage has been installed to direct pedestrians around the site.
- The changes in pedestrian pathways resulted in the temporary removal of street parking on the west side of 5th Avenue between Sterling Place and Baltic Street, and on Baltic Street between 5th Avenue and Gregory Place.
- Changes to pedestrian paths and parking on 5th Avenue and Baltic Street to remain until early summer 2025.
- Truck deliveries within hours of operation. Our team has instructed truck drivers to park only where permitted; not to park in bus stops or crosswalks; not to block deliveries to local businesses or residential driveways; and to follow all applicable NYC regulations regarding idling. Our team will endeavor to minimize the impact of truck traffic.
- Construction vehicles will access the site via vehicular gates on Baltic Street. Flagmen will be present to help ensure pedestrian safety as vehicles enter & exit the site.
