70th Street sewer project update

See the latest attached Advisory for this week. Best to avoid this area, if possible.

SE859: 70th Street Sewer Upgrade Advisory

9/27/2019

Hi All,

Attached you will find the weekly sewer upgrade advisory.

We're all aware of the sewer work but what I didn't realize, until now, is that the project also entails replacing old water mains within the scope of the project - 69th Street from Queens Boulevard to 48th Avenue; 69th Street and 51st Avenue along 70th Street to the Long Island Expressway. This came to my attention when I asked a worker why "no parking" signs were being posted on 70th Street between 52nd Drive and 53rd Avenue where I live. The worker told me they will be "cutting the street" but will not be opening it up until they put in a temporary water main. i was curious why they said residents would get a 72-hour advance advisory for water interruptions for the sewer project. Now I realize it's because they will also be working on our water mains!

There is some information that I think folks need to know.

Construction Mitigation:

Water main work (20", 12" and 8" diameter water mains (reconstruction of approximately 4000 linear feet)
Weekend or night work near a school as needed as permitted by NYC DOT
Night work at Grand Avenue (commercial coordinator) as permitted by NYC DOT
Other areas - daytime or as needed (with community consultation)

Mitigation: (Individuals with special needs should contact the Community Construction Liaison CCL) to minimize inconveniences. Her contact info is on the attached advisory)

Curbside, driveway, and parking will be temporarily restricted during construction.
Express, private and/or local bus stops will be temporarily relocated/rerouted.
Anticipated merchant deliveries will be coordinated.
Garbage/trash pick-up may be affected - will be coordinated with community, DSNY and BIC.
Pre-construction photos will be taken outside of homes.
Rodent mitigation is included in the contract.
Tree pruning will be performed prior to the start of major work.
Engagement with NYPD, FDNY and all relevant agencies.
Storage areas determined through NYC DOT.

We'll try to stay on top of this project as best we can, but any way you look at it - it's going to be a nightmare.
