*********

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
