*********
The NYC Dept. of Design and Construction (DDC) has commenced work on the Eastern Parkway Reconstruction project from Washington Avenue to Grand Army Plaza. The project is scheduled for completion in Fall 2012. This work is necessary to upgrade the existing NYC infrastructure to accommodate the growing demands of increased residential and business development.
The work operations associated with this project are:
*Installation of trunk and distribution water mains, combined sewer
replacement, and its components.
* Installation of new pavement, curbs and sidewalks, catch basins,
chute connections, ADA compliant pedestrian ramps, manholes, fire
hydrants, street
lighting and traffic signals
Community Impacts
The DDC is committed to maintaining a worksite that is safe and clean.
We realize that dust, noise, and heavy equipment are intrusive but
they are common elements of construction. We ask for your patience
during the project. During construction hours you can expect the following:
*Increased levels of noise.
* Some traffic lane changes, roadway closings, and delays.
*The typical work hours are from Monday through Friday, 7:00 am until
6:00 pm; weekend work may occur at times.
*Possible driveway and street parking restrictions (in order to proceed
safely). Signs will be posted in advance as required. Vehicles in
violation may be towed.
*Signs, advisories, and temporary construction barriers which will
guide traffic and pedestrians to promote safety.
* Dust, dirt, and mud typically associated with construction sites.
* Machines and materials stored, but cordoned, along the streets nearby
or within the project limits.
Property Damage
You are advised to inform the DDC or the Contractor of any property
damage that you may have. If the contractor fails to respond within
10 days, you should inform the DDC Borough Director in writing. If
you intend to file a claim you must do so within 90 days of the occurrence
with the New York City Comptroller’s Office.
Special Needs
Please let the Community Construction Liaison (CCL) know if there
is anyone in your household or building that has special needs so
that we can coordinate our construction activities accordingly.
Water Service Interruption
During the course of the project there will be water service interruptions
while old mains are removed and new mains installed. Advanced notice
will be given for all planned interruptions. If it is necessary for
us to turn off your water service, you will receive written notice
informing you by the afternoon of the day before the service interruption.
We suggest you store drinking water to have available in your home
or business for the period that the water service is suspended. Water
service is always restored at the end of the day. Be sure to turn
off any open valves or faucets to prevent flooding when water service
is restored. After water service is restored, the water may be discolored by sediment that has accumulated
in older pipes, including the service connection to the internal pipes
in your building. Even if no construction is preformed in front of
your building the process of shutting down old pipes can result in
discoloration. If this occurs, run only cold water until it appears
clear.
Newsletter Distribution:
Construction Newsletters will be distributed within the project area,
and at key locations including:
* Community Board Districts 8 and 9
*Brooklyn Public Library -- 1 Grand Army Plaza
