When it comes to the resurfacing project on 80th Street, Giordano believes that additional work may need to be done at the site.

DOT did a good job over the about fi ve years ago, but it has sunk again. I don’t know if resurfacing alone is going to be able to resolve that situation.” Overall, these traffi c studies should help drivers and pedestrians better navigate the roads across Maspeth.
