DOT To Resurface Local Streets This Autumn
Residential blocks will be targeted by Department of Transportation (DOT) crews during scheduled street resurfacing around Ridgewood, Glendale, Maspeth and Middle Village tentatively scheduled to take place this fall.
The list that the DOT presented to Community Board 5, which the Times Newsweekly obtained, indicated the street work would take place beginning in September, subject to last-minute changes.
Street resurfacing occurs in two stages. First, DOT crews mill, or strip, the existing pavement off the roadway, utilizing a large scarifying machine.
A short time thereafter- generally within one to three weeks-a DOT crew installs the new asphalt.
The DOT will place notices of impending resurfacing work on each affected street days prior to resurfacing.
Parking is prohibited during scheduled street resurfacing; all vehicles found parked on the block can and will be towed away at the owner’s expense.
All scheduled resurfacing work is weather permitting and may be rescheduled at the last minute due to inclement weather. Call the city’s 311 hotline to check for updates.
