The city’s Department of
Transportation plans on
resurfacing a number of
residential Maspeth streets as part
of its slate of repaving schedule in the
Community Board 5 area this year.
The tentative resurfacing list,
which QNS received from Board 5
this week, also includes a portion of
Palmetto Street under the elevated M
line in Ridgewood.
Every year, the DOT’s Bureau
of Highways conducts a series of
resurfacing jobs in each community
district of the city. Most of the
repaving in the Board 5 area generally
occurs in the latter half of the year.
This year’s resurfacing list runs
from July through December of 2019,
though there’s no specifi c dates for
when these projects will take place.
The DOT will post notices on the
aff ected streets in advance of work.
Street resurfacing takes place in
two phases. First, the DOT will send
a crew to scarify, or strip, the existing
pavement off the street. A short time
later, usually within a week or two,
another crew will work to lay down a
new layer of asphalt on the roadbed.
Each street will be closed to
vehicular traffic during work
periods. The DOT will post noparking
signs before the scheduled
work. Any vehicles found parked on
the street during work hours will be
towed away.
The Board 5 street resurfacing
schedule, which is subject to
change, for the latter half of 2019
includes the following, broken down
by neighborhood:
