They were apparently hiring anybody they could get to finish the job. On several occasions I saw a crane truck trying to lift a large object behind it, but instead of object being lifted, the front of the truck went up instead!As far as I know, there are no restrictions on construction along Atlantic Ave. The LIRR tunnel takes up only about the middle third of the avenue. Unfortunately, the fact that Atlantic Ave is underdeveloped probably has more to do with the neighborhoods it passes through (and I live in one of them!} than with anything else. |
