Closing Bell: Repaving Everywhere!
What’s up with the massive repaving kick that’s going on in Brooklyn–or at least in Clinton Hill, Fort Greene and Downtown Brooklyn? Like many of the streets in the neighborhood, Clinton Avenue (above) was repaved last week after a couple of weeks spent removing the old pavement. (An interesting fact we just learned: The pavement…
What’s up with the massive repaving kick that’s going on in Brooklyn–or at least in Clinton Hill, Fort Greene and Downtown Brooklyn? Like many of the streets in the neighborhood, Clinton Avenue (above) was repaved last week after a couple of weeks spent removing the old pavement. (An interesting fact we just learned: The pavement removal is outsourced to a private company and then the city contractors come in to do the repaving.) Is this happening in The Slope? Flatbush?
67th St and Senator St in Bay Ridge got ripped up this week. 67th was in pretty sorry shape but Senator St was fine.
Why they don’t repave 2nd Ave south of 39th along with some of intersecting streets to 3rd Ave is beyond me. You almost need a dirt bike to navigate those crappy roads. Maybe some Brooklyn pol owns a nearby tranny shop.
They won’t repave Nostrand. With the craters and the light patterns, Nostrand might as well be known as the Cross-Brooklyn Expressway. The only thing that keeps people from touching 80 on Nostrand is the potholes.
Hoyt street in CG will have pavement removal beginning today. No parking signs went up over the last couple of days.
What are you talking about Ali Baba? Someone’s busting up the street with a sledgehammer? Weird…
Outside of Brooklyn, but they are repaving Broadway on the Upper West Side as well. It’s been going on for a few weeks.
The destruction of newly paved Clinton Avenue started yesterday morning. 8:30am woke up to the sound of a sledgehammer between Greene and Lafayette… oh well.
My bed was literally shaking this morning as they were scraping away the old pavement, I was having flashbacks to earthquakes in SF.
Nevins Street, from (at least) Atlantic to Fulton.
They need to hit Atlantic. I hate that f’n thoroughfare. I always take BQE to Van Wyck (JFK, etc.) to go around that bad boy.
