Crane on Seventh Avenue Today

Here’s the crane report from Craig R. Hammerman of Community Board 6.

As
you are aware the crane operation was planned for today but an
insurance issue prevented the transformer from leaving Ohio. 

The
transformer is scheduled to arrive at 7:30am Thursday.
Arrangements will be as we discussed previously but one day later.

Crane Operation Summary:

Transformer removal and installation is scheduled to take place today, on Thursday, October 16, 2008 between 7am and 4pm.

Bus stop on east side of 7th Avenue near Sterling Place (between Sterling Pl. and Park Pl.) will be discontinued for the day.

Northbound
bus will stop at the next stop on Flatbush Avenue which will still be
convenient for bus to subway transfers. Southbound bus stop on 7th Avenue between Flatbush Avenue and Park Place will remain in use.
