FYI Multiple Street Closures Around Barclays Center 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.
