Dean And Pacific Streets Prepare For Many Street Closures This Week
Residents and neighbors near Barclays Center are bracing themselves for multiple closures this week, beginning Tuesday, October 20 – Friday, October 23. The closures are due to a one-two-three punch by two large scale events at Barclays, as well as work being performed by Con Ed.
According to a Barclays Center press release, Dean Street between Flatbush and 5th Avenues will be closed on Tuesday, October 20 due to the Tidal X event at Barclays. Expect a heightened police presence, satellite trucks, and the red carpet being rolled out for arriving stars.
Fewer inconveniences will take place in the area on Thursday, October 22 for the Powerhouse 2015 event at Barclays. However, residents should be alerted to increased traffic for more arriving stars.
