14 The QUEE NS Courier • september 4, 2014 for breaking news visit www.queenscourier.com DOE protects Bayside schoolchildren from non-existent construction project BY ERIC JANKIEWICZ @ericjankiewicz ejankiewicz@queenscourier.com As a new school year starts, students at a Bayside elementary school will find their school shrouded in scaffolding and mesh for a building project that doesn’t yet exist, according to city officials. The city put the scaffolding up last school year at P.S. 162, according to a DOE spokeswoman, who said the project is still in its planning stage and designs for the project haven’t been made. “This is really depressing for the children who are just going back to school and they have to go through this ominous entrance now,” said Beatrice Gallagher, who lives near the school. “Why has no work been done but they have the scaffolding up? That’s their job and they’re not doing what they’re supposed to be doing for us.” The K-5 school, which was built in 1936, was chosen for an “exterior modernization project” that would replace and repair the roof, parapets, windows and exterior masonry. The DOE spokeswoman said the scaffolding was erected for safety reasons even though the school is “safe” with no danger of falling bricks or debris. The city doesn’t have an estimated completion date — or estimated start date — and the school declined to comment.
