Repaving In Ridgewood, Glendale, M.V.
Work crews from the city’s Department of Transportation (DOT) have begun the process of repaving a number of roadways around Ridgewood, Glendale and Middle Village in a resurfacing project scheduled to continue through December, Community Board 5 announced.
The streets where the resurfacing is either ongoing or set to take place in the coming weeks include the following:
– 67th Drive between 73rd Place and 80th Street in Middle Village;
– 70th Avenue between Otto Road and 70th Street in Glendale;
– 73rd Place between 70th and Metropolitan avenues in Middle Village;
– Bleecker Street between Seneca and Cypress avenues in Ridgewood;
– Grove Street between Seneca and St. Nicholas avenues in Ridgewood;
– Himrod Street between Grandview and Metropolitan avenues in Ridgewood;
– Madison Street between Cypress and Forest avenues and between Myrtle and Cypress avenues in Ridgewood;
– Otto Road between 64th Street and 69th Place in Glendale;
– Palmetto Street between Myrtle and Seneca avenues in Ridgewood; and
– Putnam Avenue between Forest and Cypress avenues in Ridgewood.
District Manager Gary Giordano noted that the DOT’s Bureau of Highways, which is conducting the resurfacing work, previously com- pleted street paving at nighttime hours on Myrtle Avenue between Fresh Pond Road and Wyckoff Avenue in Ridgewood and on portions of Woodhaven Boulevard in Glendale. He thanked the bureau for its efforts.
During resurfacing work, crews will first mill the roadway, stripping the top layer of asphalt off the street. Thereafter, workers will return to place a new layer of pavement.
Parking will be prohibited on roadways scheduled to be resurfaced, and the DOT posts notices on the blocks at least a day before the scheduled work. Any vehicle found parked on the affected streets during the scheduled work hours can and will be towed away.
