According to Community Board 5 (CB 5), contractors hired by the city Department of Transportation began removing the existing asphalt on Grand Avenue between 64th Street and the Long Island Expressway on the night of Tuesday, June 23. The work will continue through the night of Thursday, June 25, when crews are scheduled to resurface Grand Avenue between Rust Street and the Grand Street Bridge, in the heart of Maspeth’s industrial section. All of the resurfacing work will take place from 9 p.m. until 5 a.m. the next morning; notices will be placed along the avenue prior to the project’s start. Parking will be prohibited where work is taking place; all cars found parked on each street can and will be towed. The resurfacing will also affect service on the Q58 and Q59 bus lines that travel along Grand Avenue. Riders should anticipate detours and delays on both routes while work is in progress. Resurfacing of New York City streets occurs in two steps. After stripping off the top layers of asphalt (through a process called milling), workers return days or weeks later to install a new layer of asphalt. New street marking lines are painted shortly thereafter. The board previously requested that Grand Avenue be resurfaced at night to minimize traffi c disruptions in the commercial and adjacent residential areas, according to CB 5 District Manager Gary Giordano.Crews are resurfacing a portion of Grand Avenue in Maspeth during evening hours beginning this week. 6 14 20 TIMESNEWSWEEKLY.COM Ridgewood moms want city to x up playground.
