Hi All,

It's a new year and we're seeing much-needed sewer work being done in Elmhurst on Kneeland Avenue thanks to Council Member Daniel Dromm.

Block Captain Howard Moskowitz spoke with the Project Manager today and.was told that today they will be washing the street (we assume to remove any salt, etc.). When the actual work begins "no parking": signs will be posted two days in advance. Schools were notified. The Project Manager said the company hopes to replace 100' of pipe each day.

We brought the problem of sinkholes, smoking and exploding manholes and brown water to the attention of Councilman Dromm several years ago. Since that time money had to be allocated and a study needed to be done. 

If residents have any concerns, be advised this is not going to be a project like Calamus Avenue. However, we do suggest residents take photos  of their property during any kind of project like this just in case they experience damage.

Once again, we thank the Councilman for following up on our concerns!!

Hello Everyone,
My new partner, Police Officer Cunningham and I, would like to invite everyone to join us at our Build the Block Neighborhood Policing and Safety Meeting on November 28th, 2018, at 7 pm, located at The Italian Charities of America, 83-20, Queens Boulevard, Elmhurst, NY 11373, 2nd FL. The doors will open at 6:30 pm for refreshments.
For those that have not attended our previous meetings, we will be discussing quality of life, crimes, and other issues concerning the area in the 110th Precinct, within Sector A (bordering Roosevelt Avenue, Britton Avenue, Broadway, Queens Boulevard, the New York Connecting Railroad Lines, and the LIE). If you have certain complaints you would like to share with us, this would be a great platform to bring it to our attention and we can collaborate together on how to resolve it. Everyone is welcome, even if you live, work, are a parishioner, or own property outside of  Sector A. These meetings are meant to cultivate and improve relations between the NYPD and the community and to address your concerns on a more personal level.
Attached is our flyer with the relevant information. We hope to see everyone there! Take care, be safe, and be vigilant.
Sincerely,
- Don
