DOT traffi c improvements coming to Fresh Meadows
High-traffi c roundabout set to receive new traffi c signal by the end of March: Stavisky
BY CARLOTTA MOHAMED
The Department of
Transportation (DOT) will
install a new traffic signal
next year at the Fresh
Meadows traffic circle at the
intersection of 188th Street
and 64th Avenue, according
to state Sen. Toby Ann
Stavisky.
On Dec. 18, the DOT
informed Stavisky of
the installation at the
southbound lane of the
traffic circle, which is
scheduled to be completed
by March 31, 2019.
DOT Queens Borough
Commissioner Nicole Garcia
had previously reached out
to Stavisky regarding the
intersection.
The local civic
associations have been
working closely to improve
safety at the traffic circle.
Other planned safety
features for the traffic circle
include repainting traffic
marking and installing
new pedestrian islands,
according to the DOT.
“I am glad the Department
of Transportation has
listened to the concerns of
the community and will take
action to improve the Fresh
Meadows traffic circle,” said
Stavisky. “I want to thank the
Fresh Meadows Homeowners
Association, the Utopia
Estates Civic Association
and Commissioner Garcia
for working with the
communities to improve
traffic safety in this area.
Government works best when
it positively responds to the
needs of the community.”
The traffic circle is
located close to a major
shopping center in the
neighborhood, as well as
several local restaurants
and several large apartment
buildings.
