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:

This is Maspeth Town Hall's largest fundraiser for the year and the profit is used to offset their general operating expenses. Please take the opportunity to support the invaluable programs they provide to our community while having a great night out with food, raffles and fun. See the attached flier. Roe Daraio, President COMET Civic Association www.cometcivic.com Hi All,
Just when you think Maspeth Federal's Smile on Maspeth Day for the kids couldn't get better, we heard that the Flying Wallendas will be doing several performances at the event today. The event runs from 11:00 am - 4:00 pm in the bank's parking lot (69th Street/Grand Avenue). It's going to a great fun opportunity! Roe Daraio, President COMET Civic Association www.cometcivic.com NOTE: You may not live in the project area but it may affect the way you travel. This will be one of many advisories regarding this project. Make sure you take photos of your property in the event you need to file a claim. COMET will be working with the agency/contractor to find locations to store their construction equipment/materials to minimize parking problems. See attached.     Hi All, See the attached flier with regard to an upcoming meeting with the Department of Design & Construction (DDC) this Tuesday, September 10th, 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm in IS 73 auditorium, 54th Avenue at 70th Street. Councilman Holden and Assemblyman Barnwell will be present. The flier states Calamus Avenue and 70th Street sewer project but keep in mind the project also includes a portion of 54th Avenue, 71st Street to Grand Avenue, Grand Avenue to Mazeau Street and the entire length of Mazeau Street. I urge anyone living on these streets or living near to the intersection of these streets to attend. We don't know where materials and equipment will be stored and it's important we all have a chance to ask questions including how to file claims for damages, if need be. I urge everyone to take pictures of their property prior to the start of this project. I don't know if individual homes will be getting the notification so please pass the word. COMET will have someone to help translate for Mandarin-speaking residents since I'm not sure if the agency will provide a translator. Roe Daraio, President COMET Civic Association www.cometcivic.com  Hi All,
Our meeting will be held this Monday, September 9th, 7:00 pm, at St. Adalbert Parish Center, lower level, 52-40 84th Street. Agenda
