DDC UPDATE

1/12/2021

 
We wanted to provide an update.  We expect work to start Wednesday morning, beginning at IS73 and going south towards Calamus on 70th Street.  

Some relevant details: 
  • We will be excavating the east side of the street 150 feet at a time, about 12 feet from the curb towards the middle of the street.  
  • Once the asphalt layer is removed, we will work to identify and fill any voids, while also compacting soil as we go.  
  • We will be using a backhoe with a vibrating hammer to compact the soil.  Vibration monitoring will continue during the work.
  • We will attempt to complete each 150-foot section by the end of the day, if not early the following day.  
  • Access to driveways on the east side of 70th will be blocked during the day when excavation is occurring in that section.  
  • Parking will be permitted overnight, but there will be no parking during the day on either side of the 150-foot section.
  • The west side of the roadway will be available each day for emergency vehicles.
  • Work is expected to take a total of 3 - 4 weeks, barring unforeseen conditions.  
  • Pauline will start going door to door tomorrow AM to alert the first section of homeowners.

New development relating to 70th Street portion of sewer project

1/11/2021

 
Update from DDC (Dept. of Design & Construction):

"Based on further conversations with the geotechnical engineer and DEP (Dept. of Environmental Protection) since our meeting Thursday night, our construction team decided to take a more proactive approach to try to prevent and identify further sinkholes. We plan to excavate 70th Street approximately 100 feet at a time and do additional probing of the soil, having the contractor address any voids they find.

Work may start as soon as Tuesday morning, with no parking signs going up tomorrow. We can provide a further update tomorrow once everything is confirmed.  We will also encourage Pauline to go door-to-door to reach as many residents as possible along with her regular outreach.

We recognize that this work may be very impactful for the community, but feel it is important to address this issue now to put everyone at ease about the condition of the roadway."


Note from COMET: This will be an inconvenience for those of us who live on the block, but in the long run it's best to do the job right rather than have issues after the work is completed. Pauline's contact info is at the bottom of the notification(s) that you will be receiving.

Community Alert - Lottery Ticket theft

1/8/2021

 
Hi All,

PO Michael Berish, 104th Precinct Community Affairs, advised us of the following: A bodega located at 64-xx Flushing Avenue had lottery tickets stolen last night at about 8:30 pm. The suspect is a male approximately 25 years of age, 6' tall and about 175 lbs. He fled on foot.

This is not the first business in our area that had lottery tickets stolen so it's obvious this "grab and run" is becoming a crime pattern.

We, as a community, can help. If you shop in a convenience store, bodega or any business that sells lottery tickets, please let them know what's going on and urge them to move the tickets to a spot that's not easy for a "customer" to reach over the counter and grab them.

Thanks for your help! 

Stay safe and healthy in 2021!!
