On my way to the subway this morning at about 11 AM, I walk by the Boom, LLC 360 Smith Street construction at 2nd Place and was surprised by the number of trucks which were not only blocking the intersection, but also stopped cars from driving down Smith Street.
Meanwhile, people were trying to cross the street to get to the subway station at the corner of 2nd Street.
It was a a real mess. I did not have the time to stop and take picture.
One of my readers must have been on his way to the train shortly before and sent me the photos above. He describes the situation this morning as dangerous. I have to agree.
Below is his email to me:
As a local resident who uses the 2nd Place subway entrance daily, the construction at 360 Smith is a real nightmare. But now its become dangerous.
These pictures were taken at 10:47am this morning. This is the only crosswalk at the junction, and our cement truck driver can be seen eating his sandwich in the sun while his truck is parked on top of the crosswalk and pedestrians are left to dodge the traffic and other construction vehicles.
FYI, local precinct, constriction company and cement company have all been contacted and complaint registered.
Thank you for sending the photos and for making the phone calls.

that crossing guard really should be at this corner instead of the hanah shanesh corner. most of the kids going to school dont cross there and the guard would be a great help to the neighborhood people who are trying not to get hit by a scaffolding truck.
