Benson,
Maintenance on the Nassau County highways was always much better so they didn’t have to be rebuilt. The city’s were so deteriorated that they needed a complete overhaul. And the Belt is beyond awful. Since I am in your old turf every Saturday, I’ve been riding it a lot. Last week we went from Kingsboro to Canarsie to give a kid a ride. Really, really bumpy. (Next week they are going to the Planetarium and she can take the C train!)
Benson – I never drive the GCP from BQE to LAG b/c we take the Jackie Robinson out to the GCP, so I haven’t seen the improvements yet – but still the BQE despite numerous overhauls is nearly as smooth as the LIE is at say Exit 34 and like you said they haven’t repaved the LIE in probably 10 years…..
“I would ask: have there been any such renovations of the highways in Nassau in the past 15 years? Other than the LIE, not that I can see. I have relatives out in the Island (Massapequa and Bellmore) and this is what I see.”
you don’t need complete overhauls of highways if you don’t let them go to shit in the first place.

Not trying to get into a pissing contest. Just telling you what I see. Difference of opinion, that’s all.
As long as they don’t mess with the jackie robinson highway. it’s like our own little autobahn.
