Residents of Maspeth met with DOT officials on January 26 at Martin Luther High School to discuss concerns about truck traffic in the area and to hear about progress of the Maspeth Bypass and Intersection Normalization Study.

The study is being conducted in two phases.  Data is being collected about alternative truck routes and dangerous intersections and the DOT will have an update on the study in September.  The ultimate goal is to get trucks off our local streets and onto more appropriate routes.  For information about the study, check the website: www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/motorist/maspeth.shtml
