2. Other business
A
Good
evening,
everyone
Welcome
to
Brooklyn
community
board
14
Transportation
committee
meeting
taking
place
virtually
via
WebEx
on
Wednesday
November,
2nd
at
6
30.
6
33..
My
name
is
Ed
sen.
I
am
the
co-chair
of
this
committee,
I'm
joined
by
Steve
Cohen
and
Sean
Campbell,
the
district
manager
for
cb14.
A
Thank
you
to
D.O.T
for
conducting
this
evening's
presentation.
So
on
the
agenda.
First,
we
have
a
presentation
on
the
proposed
beqe
repairs
and
traffic
detours,
Tandy
pandya,
the
executive
director
of
BQE
and
design,
and
build
at
NYC
Department
of
Transportation
and
Sean.
If
you
could
I
guess,
allow
our
friends
from
dot
to
share
their
presentation
and
they
can
take
it
away.
Will.
D
Mode
so,
while
she's
doing
that,
I
can
do
the
introductions
Sean.
This
is
Joanie
and
Kidder,
always
a
pleasure
to
see
you
Joni
very
nice
to
see
you
too
Sean
and
thanks
for
having
us
tonight,
I
think
this.
It's
important
that
we
share
this
information
and
answer
a
lot
of
questions.
I,
don't
know
people
have
so.
D
As
you
said
with
me,
tonight
is
tanvi
pandia
senior
director
of
our
BQE
and
design
build
program
and
from
her
team
is
Sally,
Stillberg
and
I
believe
I
saw
Diana
Soriano
from
the
borough
commissioner's
office
is
also
with
us.
So
that's
the
four
of
us
and
we'll
go
through
the
presentation
and
we're
available
for
whatever
Q
a
is
needed.
You
know
when
we're
ready.
C
D
C
D
C
Okay,
so
this
is
obviously
not
tied
to
the
larger
conversation
that
has
recently
started
on
the
BQE.
This
is
more
specific
to
what
we
need
to
do
to
keep
the
structure
in
a
state
of
good
repair
until
we
get
the
larger
solution
in
play.
So
this
is
more
focused
on
the
near-term
work
that
we
need
to
do
and
we
want
to
walk
you
through.
C
Should
you
have
some
which
I
imagine
you
will
so
this
is
about
the
cantilever
section,
you're
all
pretty
familiar
with
this
area,
the
particular
sections
that
we're
talking
about
will
get
into
in
a
moment,
but
just
as
as
a
general
overview,
you
know
we
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody's
aware
that
we
are
spending
a
lot
of
effort
on
staying
on
top
of
the
structure,
we're
monitoring
it
very
regularly.
Typically,
the
state
doesn't
inspection
every
two
years
of
all
Bridge
structures
with
their
consultants.
C
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
our
design
team,
Engineers
walk
the
full
site,
every
quarter
collect
any
information
that
seems
like
there
is
something
we
need
to
monitor
more
closely
and
we
might
run
some
tests.
We
might
take
some
samples
or
do
some
analytical
work,
so
that
happens
on
a
quarterly
basis.
We
also
have
these
accelerometers
and
certain
other
specialized
instruments
along
the
corridor
on
the
cantilever,
so
that
continuously
feeds
us
information
and
just
to
kind
of
clarify
like
these
are
not
the
kinds
of
things
that
when
they're
paying
it's
like.
C
Oh
my
God,
everybody
run
away,
it's
more
of
like
hey,
you
had
a
band
of
of
where
you
expect
the
data
to
be
is
here
today
we
got
some
data
that
seems
here
or
it's
been
trending
a
little
bit.
This
way,
let's
find
out
why
it's
trending
that
way,
and
most
of
the
time
it
turns
out,
someone
kicked
the
monitor
the
battery
died
or
something
like
that.
C
But
regardless
we
collect
the
data
and
we
make
sure
that,
as
we
are
doing
our
like
prognostication
of
future
and
when
do
we
need
to
address
those
conditions
or
so
on.
This
data
helps
us
with
that
analysis.
The
other
thing
we've
done
since
2019
we
had
sensors
installed
on
the
roadway
so
that
we
can
tell
when
there
are
overweight
vehicles
and
just
how
over
it
are
there
and
to
no
one's
surprise.
There
are
quite
a
few
overweight
trucks
on
these
roadways,
so
we've
been
collecting
that
data,
which
has
also
helped
us.
C
You
know,
fine-tune
our
analysis,
but
in
addition
to
that,
we
did
get
the
automated
enforcement
legislation
passed
at
the
end
of
last
year
or
signed
by
the
governor
at
the
end
of
last
year.
So
we're
in
the
midst
of
doing
the
installation
now
so
that
in
early
2023
we
can
start
doing
enforcement
using
the
automated
system
so
that,
instead
of
PD
having
to
pull
trucks
and
weigh
them,
the
system
will
automatically
issue
violations
to
the
owners.
C
So
all
of
this
data
is
going
into
our
analytical
model,
so
we
basically
have
a
digital
twin,
and
so
this
data
feeds
into
that.
That
tells
us
how
the
model
is
reacting
and
if
there
is
any
need
for
Action.
So
this
has
been
ongoings
for
many
years
and
and
that
effort
is
how
we
identified
some
of
these
areas
where
we
need
to
do
the
work.
So
two
in
particular,
are
the
Queens
bound
deck
sections
at
span
34
and
at
span
4.,
so
roughly
on
the
cross
street.
C
B
C
Also
be
clear,
this
is
not
about
a
safety
concern.
This
is
about
us
making
sure
that
we
stay
ahead
of
any
of
the
concerns
that
might
come
out
so
to
look
at
it
from
another
angle.
This
would
be
two
deck
sections
on
the
queensbound
roadway
at
Clark,
Street
and
Grace
Court.
The
other
area
that
I
was
talking
about
is
this
Clark
Street
fan
plant.
C
So
if
you're
driving
along
Furman
Street,
you
might
have
noticed
there
are
these
dates
on
Foreman
Street,
roughly
at
Clark
Street,
the
TA
has
some
facilities
that
is
embedded
within
the
structure,
and
so
the
only
access
to
that
area
is
through
this
section
this,
where
the
arrow
is
pointing
between
the
Queen's
bound
and
Staten
Island
bound
roadway.
So,
while
there's
work
happening
on
the
Queensland
roadway
and.
C
This
is
just
a
matter
of
making
sure
we
coordinate
with
them,
since
they
have
so
much
equipment
in
in
there,
but
this
will
happen
parallel
to
the
work
that's
happening
to
the
deck
and
then
the
other
area
that
we
would
be
doing
work
in
is
inside
this
German
garage.
So
if
you're
at
that
end
of
jeralman-
and
you
look
to
the
to
the
side
where
the
there's
this
roll-up
doors,
you
can
go
inside
and
you're,
underneath
both
roadways
and
there's
a
structure
in
the
back
there
that
needs
work.
C
There's
a
there's,
a
crack
that
we
would
like
to
repair
there's
some
of
these
beams
that
have
lost
some
sections,
so
we'd
like
to
address
those
as
well.
This
work
can
be
done
without
any
implications
to
the
traffic,
except
for
the
hyper.
Local
in
this
area
is
traffic,
as
the
equipment
goes
in
and
out
of
the
garage.
So
we
won't
spend
too
much
time
on
that
tonight
as
just
FYI.
C
So
what
we're
looking
to
do
is
remove
that
Concrete
in
this
green
area,
which
is
along
the
cantilever
right
at
the
joints
as
you're
driving
along
you've,
probably
seen
mesh
both
overhead,
you
know
along
every
joint,
roughly
at
every
50
feet,
so
in
those
those
Joint
locations,
this
concrete
needs
to
be
replaced.
Add
some
new
reinforcement
to
the
area
and
then
put
in
new
concrete
because
of
the
nature
of
this
roadway.
C
We,
when
we
place
this
new
concrete,
we
need
to
do
it
across
all
Lanes
at
the
same
time
and
then
concrete
needs
a
little
bit
of
time
to
cure
before
we
can
put
traffic
back
on
it.
So
that's
the
reason
why
the
traffic
implications
are
bigger
for
doing
this
kind
of
work
so
again
just
to
sort
of
explain
it,
so
that
was
at
the
at
the
Joint,
where
we
have
to
remove
a
lot
more
of
the
concrete,
as
we
go
a
little
bit
further
from
the
joint
it's
less
of
the
concrete,
that's
being
removed.
C
So
what
that
will
mean
is
there's
some
prep
work.
We
have
to
do
so
in
order
to
remove
the
bad
concrete
for
overnight
time,
which,
roughly
right
now
you,
you
may
be
seeing
some
of
the
notifications
that
come
out
where
we
say
one
lane
open
from
1am
to
five
a.m
during
the
overnight
hours.
So
this
would
be
that
same
kind
of
setup
where
either
the
inside
or
the
outside
lane
is
closed,
where
the
workers
are
working
over
the
Staten
Island
bound
roadway
just
for
the
safety
of
that
Staten
Island
bound
traffic.
C
So
we
need
to
support
it
from
below.
So
Staten
Island
bound
would
only
be
one
lane
at
that
point,
and
so
from
2
A.M
Saturday
to
4
a.m.
Monday
queensbound
roadway
would
be
closed.
The
concrete
would
be
poured
it
would
be
cured
for
a
few
hours
before
we
open
it
back
up
the
traffic.
The
Staten
Island
bound
would
open
as
soon
as
we
think
the
concrete
has
enough
strength
to
sort
of
hold
itself
in
place,
and
then
both
lanes
could
be
open
down
below.
C
So
then,
once
that
is
done,
this
is
the
section
that's
closest
to
the
Joint,
so
roughly
two
feet
on
either
side
of
the
joints
and
then,
as
we
get
further
away
from
The
Joint.
This
is
perpendicular
to
the
traffic.
Is
that
I'm
talking
about?
So
this
is
a
band
of
two
feet
on
either
side
of
the
joint
perpendicular
to
the
traffic.
C
So
there
will
be
two
weekends
that
are
like
that:
Staten
Island
bound
remains
open
for
those
follow-up
weekends.
So
to
sort
of
summarize,
there
will
be
prep
work
during
overnight
hours.
Then
there
would
be
that
first
weekend,
where
new
concrete
is
placed
closest
to
the
Joint,
which
requires
a
support
structure
from
below.
So
that's
where
Staten
Island
bound
would
be
down
to
one
lane
and
queen's
bound
would
be
completely
closed.
Then
there
might
be
a
few
weeks
where
you
might
not
see
much
activity.
C
Now,
I'll
explain
to
you
why
that
is
and
then
you
would
have
again
prep
work,
prep
work
to
get
ready
for
that.
Second
weekend,
then,
the
second
weekend
queensbound,
would
be
closed.
Staten
Island
bound
is
open,
again
continue
with
more
prep
work
and
then
a
third
weekend.
The
reason
you,
those
three
weekends
would
be
be.
You
wouldn't
see.
Continuous
activity
is
because
those
three
weekends
cannot
be
back
to
back.
Our
city
is
very,
very
busy.
C
So,
let's
say
the
first
weekend
after
and
and
we've
given
blackout
dates
to
the
contractor
already
to
avoid
major
holidays
and
events
already,
but
so
once
the
contractor
is
on
board,
they
would
say:
okay,
you
know
looking
at
our
production
rate,
looking
at
the
crew
that
we
have
working,
we
think
the
first
weekend
we
can
do
this
work
is
I,
don't
know
third
weekend
of
May.
So
then,
prior
to
that
third
weekend,
you
will
see
a
bunch
of
prep
work
happening
during
the
overnight
hours,
then
that
first
weekend
would
happen.
Now.
C
If
the
next
weekend
is
not
till
end
of
July,
it
might
be
a
little
bit
of
a
lull
in
the
roadway.
You
may
not
see
a
whole
lot
and
then
the
couple
of
weeks
before
that
last
weekend
of
July
you'd
see
a
bunch
of
overnight
activity
to
get
ready
for
that
second
weekend
and
then
so
on.
So
there
would
be
overnight
work
for
a
week
to
two
weeks
prior
to
each
of
the
weekend.
Closures
then
the
weekend
closer.
C
You
know,
use
public
transportation,
don't
use
a
car
and
so
on,
but
there
will
be
some
people
who
have
to
get
around
and
even
if
you
know,
BQE
often
gets
used
as
a
local
kind
of
connection
within
Brooklyn
itself.
So
those
folks
still
need
to
get
around.
So
we
would
have
ta
agents
at
many
many
intersections
and
then,
of
course,
there
will
be
sign
signage.
You
know
giving
alerts
in
advance,
so
people
know
to
avoid
it
and
then
Prospect
Expressway
would
be
set
up
in
the
HOV.
C
Am
configuration
to
kind
of
encourage
people
to
go
into
Lower
Manhattan
using
the
tunnel
so
that
they
don't
come
down
to
the
to
Brooklyn
Bridge
to
go
into
Lower
Manhattan
and
of
course
this
is
being
done
with
extensive
multi-agency
coordination,
so
we've
met
with
New
Jersey
DOT
Turnpike,
Authority,
Port,
Authority,
tbta,
Connecticut,
DOT,
Thruway,
state
DOT,
and
so
on.
To
make
sure
that
they're
not
doing
something.
That's
going
to
implicate
on
those
weekends,
and
you
know
we're
obviously
to
change
that
HOV
configuration
is
something
we're
doing
with
MTA
and
state
DOT.
C
In
addition
to
all
those
of
course,
we
have
to
work
very
closely
with
emergency
response
teams,
so
we've
met
with
NYPD
FDNY
multiple
times.
You
know
we
are
having
conversations
around
where
they
should
be
stationed
in
advance
of
these
weekends
to
make
sure
that
they
can
get
to
where
they
need
to
for
emergency
services.
You
know
talking
to
hospitals
and
whatnot,
so
our
Outreach
is
ongoing
and
continuing
to
make
sure
that
we
take
all
of
the
different
needs
into
account
and
make
sure
we
are
keeping
everybody
informed.
C
Certainly,
as
this
dates
come
closer,
there
will
be
a
massive
press,
Blitz
and
an
Outreach,
and
you
know
talking
to
Freight
industry
and-
and
you
know
the
Wazi
and
Google
Maps
and
all
of
those
to
try
to
say,
hey,
don't
divert
traffic
where
it
shouldn't
go.
Please
use
the
official
detail
routes
to
Route
traffic.
C
So
what
that
looks
like
to
make
the
Staten
Island
detour
happen,
which
will
only
be
for
the
first
weekend.
It's
closed.
The
on-ramp
from
Tillery,
Sands
and
Wine
Street
will
be
closed,
and
so
those
who
are
in
that
local
area
would
can
go
along
farman
and
get
back
on
to
BQE
south
of
Atlantic.
Those
were
coming
from.
Prospect
would
be
going
towards
Hugh
Carey
Tunnel.
C
C
So
these
are
the
three
mapped
detour
routes
for
that:
Staten
Island,
bound
traffic,
that's
being
diverted,
and
so,
as
I
was
saying
to
make
sure
that
all
of
this
diverted
traffic
that
ends
up
on
Furman
Street
is
able
to
get
back
on
to
Staten
Island
bound
roadway
in
this
area.
We're
going
to
do
some
pre-work
to
turn
this
into
a
two-lane
on-ramp.
C
C
C
C
And
lastly,
those
who
are
on
Prospect,
they
can
still
get
back
on,
but
they
would
get
it
off
at
Atlantic.
So
those
who
do
not
want
to
go
to
you
carry
but
want
to
continue
on
to
Queens.
They
will
be
able
to
go
around,
so
those
will
be
the
primary
queensbound
main
detours.
Now
there
will
be
a
certain
fraction
of
folks
that
were
actually
headed
towards
the
the
airports
and
so
for
those,
especially
if
they
are
afraid
they
and
coming
from
further
south.
They
would
be
asked
to
use
the
Linden
Boulevard
detour.
C
Now
we've
had
some
conversations
specific
to
where
this
traffic
is
getting
off
at
the
BQE
and
what
that
intersection
looks
like
so
I'll
get
into
that
in
a
moment
mm-hmm.
But
these
are
the
primary
Roots.
Obviously,
as
all
these
people
are
coming
into
Manhattan,
using
Manhattan,
Bridge,
more
and
and
less
of
Brooklyn
Bridge,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
Manhattan
Bridge
can
process
that
information
that
vehicle
at
at
the
Manhattan
side.
So
there
will
be
some
modifications
to
traffic
on
that
end
as
well,
along
with
ta
agents
to
keep
that
flow
happening.
C
So,
in
terms
of
where
we
are
in
this
conversation,
we
we
actually
have
put
out
the
contractor
bid.
We
have
received
some
bids
back
and
we're
in
the
process
of
bringing
on
a
contractor.
The
first
thing
that
the
contractor
will
do
when
they
come
on
board
is
to
give
us
their
schedule
of
work
which
weekends
they
anticipate
to
work,
which
would
be
which
we
will
find
out
early
2023.
C
So
by
March
of
2023,
we
will
have
the
specific
weekends
identified,
which
we
will
share
with
you
once
we
have
those
so
that
people
can
plan
well
in
advance
around
those
weekends.
To
the
extent
that's
possible,
and
at
that
point
we
can
have
further
conversations
if
there's
some
specific
weekend,
events
that
are
happening
that
we
need
to
take
into
account.
We
have
our
TMC
Center,
which,
where
all
the
traffic
management
happens,
so
they're
all
kind
of
going
to
be
monitoring
that
whole
weekend.
C
That
first
weekend,
when
we
do
work,
we'll
also
have
some
staff
that
will
be
at
various
intersections
and
sort
of
reporting
back
into
the
TMC,
if
something's
not
working,
so
that
we
can
real
time
address
situations.
If
something
is
just
not
functioning
or
something
happened
at
some
intersection
and
so
on,
and
then
if
there
are
Lessons
Learned
From
that
first
weekend
that
we
need
to
bring
into
the
second
and
third
weekend,
we
certainly
would
do
that,
so
the
overnight
closures
would
be
somewhere
between
March
and
October
of
2023.
C
There
would
be
you
know
in
in
chunks
of
two
to
three
weeks
at
a
clip
kind
of
spread
out
over
that
time,
but
not
continuous
throughout
the
whole
time,
and
then
the
weekends
would
be
the
sort
of
the
bookends
of
those
overnight.
Prep
work,
German
work.
Obviously
what
happened
concurrently,
it's
not
really
impacting
BQE
traffic
and
as
we
get
closer
with
the
more
tight
scheduled
from
the
contractor,
will
be
back
to
discuss
that
further
before
we
go
into
q.
C
So
so
this
is
here
we
were
going
to
have
you
know
the
the
truck
route
as
it's
mapped
is,
is
coming
off
at
that
at
this
intersection
here
right.
So
the
map
roadway.
This
is
a
state
highway,
so
that
becomes
automatically
a
freight
route.
So
that's
why
we
were
having
this
as
a
map
detour
to
keep
the
the
additional
Vehicles,
as
you
know,
going
the
part
that
they
would
normally
take.
C
We've
heard
from
communities
around
this
block
that
the
this
is
a
very
difficult
intersection
being
a
weekend
potentially
especially
over
the
summer,
a
lot
of
activities
around,
so
they
recommend
or
feel
that
it
makes
more
sense
to
have
traffic,
go
down
McDonald
and
then
turn
there.
So
we're
completely
open
to
that
concept.
We
are
just
reviewing
it
to
make
sure
that
all
the
turns
and
the
bike
lane
that
exists
and
everything
can
be
accommodated
there,
but
that's
pretty
much.
C
You
know
something
that
we've
heard
from
community
and
absorbed
into
the
project
at
this
point,
so
you
know
if
you
have
any
thoughts
around
that
we're
happy
to
take
that
into
account.
But
you
know
we
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
we
have
heard
this
from
your
neighbors
and
are
taking
that
into
account.
A
Thank
you
for
that
presentation.
Before
we
begin
q,
a
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
Joel
from
council
member
Rita
Joseph's
office.
So
thank
you
for
joining
us
tonight.
So
we'll
take
questions
from
community
board
members
and
then
move
on
to
members
of
the
public.
So
I
do
see
Liz's
hand
up
if
you
would
just
go
ahead
and
unmute.
E
E
I
also
just
wanted
to
note
that
you
know
the
truck
routes
within
our
neighborhood
that
this
is
being
routed
on
include
Caton
Avenue,
which
is
very
small
and
already
is
very
difficult
for
the
amount
of
trucks
that
are
on
it.
You
know,
you
know
more
than
half
of
our
district
doesn't
have
access
to
a
car
of
those.
You
know
in
general,
75
of
people
don't
drive
to
work
either.
So
it's
a
really
it
is.
E
You
know
a
significant
portion
of
our
district
is
walking
taking
the
bus
taking
the
subway
biking
to
get
around,
and
you
know
these
streets
that
you
know.
I
know
that
I
hope
that
the
early
notification
about
the
changes
will
help.
You
know
trucks
reroute
their
times
to
times
where
it's
like
more
appropriate
and
they
can
go
the
route
that
they
want
to
go,
but
I
really
like
to
see
dot.
You
know
do
some
more
to
protect
people
here.
E
You
know
this
comes.
You
know
this
has
been
a
common
concern.
I
hear
from
Neighbors
I
know
like
Caton
and
Coney
Island
Avenue
trucks
are
always
blowing
the
LPI
to
make
turns
because
they're
too
big
to
make
those
turns-
and
you
know
those
trucks
they
don't
just
stay
on
those
streets.
Sometimes
they
kick
other
streets
to
be
faster,
like
Parkside
Avenue,
where
a
25
year
old
mother
died
in
the
last
month,
because
a
truck
driver
driving
in
a
legal
53-foot
truck
killed
her.
E
You
know
and
I'm
just
thinking
about
this
presentation
a
lot
and
you
know
and
I
saw
that
at
the
beginning,
dot
has
been
measuring
the
weight
of
trucks,
but
it's
not
just
the
weight,
that's
really
deadly.
It's
also
the
size,
and
you
know
over
55
foot
trucks,
which
generally
is
the
53-foot
truck
the
back
of
them.
I'm.
Sorry,
I'm,
not
a
truck
expert.
You
know
those
are
those
are
really
especially
deadly
to
people
because
they
don't
maneuver
well
on
these
small
streets,
especially
the
small
streets.
E
You
know
that
our
truck
routes
in
our
district-
and
you
know
I-
was
wondering
if
there's
some,
you
know
I
guess
in
addition
to
you
know,
how
can
you
make
our
truck
routes
safer?
Not
just
for
these
detours,
but
just
generally,
but
how
also
can
like
dot
approach
working
on
getting
rid
of
you
know
getting
oversized
trucks
that
are
posing
a
special
danger
to
people.
You
know
out
of
our
city
and
it's
using
smaller,
using
smaller,
more
appropriate
trucks.
E
E
All
the
time
and,
like
I,
said
it's
really,
it
really
just
kind
of
comes
home
on
the
on
you
know,
being
so
close
to
this
death
of
again
a
25
year
old
mother,
who
was
biking
from
a
place,
we
know,
doesn't
have
a
good
bike.
You
know,
there's
not
a
good
bike
connection
into
the
lane
there
and
just
if
the
design
in
general
could
be
better
for
everyone.
It
could
be
safer
not
just
through
these
etours
but
overall
thank.
C
You
so
that's
kind
of
a
two-part
answer
as
far
as
the
trucks
being
illegal
and
and
being
longer
than
what
they're
allowed
to
be
in
the
city
limits.
We
hear
you
it's
it's
more,
an
Enforcement
issue
than
something
that
we
can
do,
but
we
are
in
communication
with
the
borough
Commissioner's
Office,
who
tries
to
work
with
the
precincts
to
to
try
to
make
that
work.
One
of
the
challenges
is:
it
takes
us
certain
trained
officers
to
be
able
to
identify
that.
So
it's
not
like
a
regular.
C
We
did
just
kick
off
this
bqa
visioning
discussion
and
part
of
that
whole
effort
is
to
get
these
kinds
of
inputs,
and
there
is
a
freight
component
to
that
as
well
to
to
figure
out
what
are
the
best
ways
to
address.
The
freight
concerns,
not
just
you
know,
for
construction,
but
in
in
the
longer
run,
as
the
number
of
deliveries
continue
to
grow.
How
do
we
manage
that?
And,
and
how
do
we
make
the
streets
safe?
C
D
I
just
wanted
to
add
one
one
point
to
that
in
terms
of
the
statement.
A
district
needs
that
I
know
that
the
community
board
does
and
putting
this
request
into
the
expense
budget.
I
know
that
PD
has
you
know
shared
with
everyone
involved,
that
they
obviously
need
the
personnel
and
the
training
time
to
make
those
offices
aware
of
of
how
to
do
the
enforcements
out
on
local
streets
and
I
strongly
encourage
you
to
use
that
process
to
make
it
a
priority
for
the
community
with
the
with
the
expensive
capital
budget
program.
E
So
a
really
a
really
quick
follow-up
to
that
is
just
it
sounded
like
there
was
an
audit
and
maybe
I'm
just
misinterpreting
it
sounded
like
there
was
an
automatic
just
receipt
of
like
the
weight
of
trucks.
Like
is
there
a
reason
we
can't
make
an
automatic
record.
You
know
DFT
can't
work
to
make
an
automatic
record
of
the
trucks
that
are
in,
and
you
know
I
understand
you
probably
can't
do
enforcement
without
other
things,
but
to
just
get
a
better
sense
of
this,
so
that
we
can
I
think
I.
E
C
That's
something
we
can
take
into
account.
Some
of
these
sensors
do
like
these
sensors,
do
calculate
sort
of
what's
the
length
of
the
truck
or
the
number
of
axles
that
just
traveled
over
it.
The
specific
legislation
is
tied
to
BQE,
so
there
you
know.
If
we
were
going
to
do
enforcement
level,
we
would
need
legislation
to
be
able
to
do
that
kind
of
work.
A
H
Yes,
so
thank
you.
My
concerns
are
the
same
as
Liz.
We
live
in
roughly
the
same
neighborhood
I
bicycle
down,
Bedford
Ave,
where
it
crosses
Lennox
and
becomes
Linden
and
and
so
forth,
and
and
as
is
I
mean
there
are
just
you
know,
massive
trucks
there
and
I
think
that
something
that
a
D.O.T
needs
to
look
very
very
seriously
at
is
changing.
H
B
They
got
to
that
parking
spot
off
a
truck
route,
and
we
will
keep
everybody
informed
of
any
response
to
that.
I
believe
there
was
supposed
to
be
an
operation
near
where
the
fatality
is.
But
our
point
is
that
it
needs
to
be
all
along
the
Route
and
it
needs
to
be
certainly
operations
off
Route,
because
that's
where
we're
seeing
so
many
of
these
trucks
and
just
to
point
out
too
that
the
the
detour
that
dot
is
reconsidering
impact,
7
and
7
and
12.
B
But
it
would
still
have
the
same
implications
for
cd14
and
the
concerns
about
being
between
a
school
and
a
playground
also
exist
along
Caton
Road
between
the
the
Marlborough
School
and
the
parade
ground,
and
also
Kate,
and
then
I'll
be
quiet.
I
promise,
the
Caton
Avenue
on
the
truck
route
is
a
you
know,
shows
as
a
local
route
in
Church
Avenue
as
the
third
route.
When
we
all
know,
Keaton
is
used
as
the
through
route
and
Church
Avenue,
as
as
the
local,
with
the
addition
of
the
bus
lines.
B
C
This
particular
intersection,
we'll
have
ta
agents
as
well,
even
though,
in
terms
of
where
the
work
is
happening,
it's
sort
of
far-flung,
but
we
recognize
that
this
is
you
know
adding
to
that
intersections
issues,
so
we
will
have
ta
agents
posted
throughout
the
closer
window
and
again
on
that
larger
con
conversation.
Of
course,
that
is
you
know.
Some
of
the
folks
are
posting
here
on
the
visioning
discussions
and
that's
where
that
will
have
to
move
into
a
deeper
discussion.
B
C
That's
just
one
source
of
data
as
far
as
the
volume
right
as
far
as
what
the
mapping
is,
we
have
access
to
all
kinds
of
mapping
that
tells
us
what
the
designations
are:
we're
working
with
our
freight
route,
our
freight
group
within
dot.
So
so
there's
multiple
sources
of
that
information
and
I
see
the
question
from
from
Stevens.
If
it
sort
of
is
tied
to
the
same
thing,
so
I'll
jump
to
that
and
he's
talking
about
the
meeting
we
had
in
person
that
assembly
member
Carol
had
and
I
understand
he
expressed
skepticism.
C
C
That's
been
calibrated
with
real-time
data
to
see
if
things
are
matching
up-
and
you
know
the
can't
say
why
he
doesn't
believe
us,
but
that
you
know
I
understand
the
frustration
with
the
number
of
trucks
that
are
already
there.
So
any
uptick
is,
is,
you
know
not
helpful,
but
this
this
work
needs
to
happen
on
pqe,
so
that
we
don't
have
to
kick
trucks
off
of
bqa
altogether.
So
this
is
not
something
we're
doing
just
as
an
experiment.
C
A
F
I
Oh
okay,
well
hi!
Thank
you
thank
you
Sean
and
for
the
people
involved
who
sent
that
letter
out
and
for
highlighting
that
not
only
are
schools
and
other
populations
happening
along
where
we
live
down
here.
Around
London
Boulevard
in
Caton
Avenue
established
I
just
wanted
to
find
out.
Is
there
like
space
for
I,
guess
revisiting
that
that
reroute
or
detour
to
try
to
mitigate
the
amount
of.
I
Still
looks
like
they
just
Barrow
down
any
which
way
they
want
to
go,
and
so
just
to
even
think
that
there's
going
to
be
people
just
being
directed
to
come
right
on
down.
You
know
really
concerns
me.
So
is
there?
Is
there
opportunities
for
that
area?
Also
being
re-looked
at
for
I
I
mean
I,
don't
even
know
how
to
address
that,
but
is
there
space
for
to
revisit
that
and
also
I
wanted
to
also
just
find
out?
Why
concrete
and
not
tar
that
they
use
on
the
cantilevers
I
was
curious
about
that.
C
Sure
so,
in
terms
of
you
know
what
traffic
is
being
diverted
there.
Let's,
you
know
just
to
be
clear:
it's
not
that
we're
closing
Prospect,
Expressway
and
say
everybody
get
off.
This
is
specifically
just
going
to
be
a
suggested
route,
hey
if
you're
headed
towards
the
airports-
and
you
would
have
you-
could
have
taken
another
route
instead
of
going
all
the
way
up
into
the
the
area
of
the
construction,
where
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
different
detour
routes
coming
together,
consider
taking
Linden
Boulevard
and
going
down
that
way.
C
So
this
is
not
all
of
traffic.
This
is
only
if
people
would
have
headed
towards
Van
Wick
any
case.
So
that's
why
it's
a
fraction
of
the
traffic,
the
other
people
that
are
headed.
You
know
continuing
on
to
BQE
they'll
stay
on
and
they'll
get
off
at
Atlantic
and
they'll
do
the
detour
through
the
town.
C
So
that's
why
that
number
or
the
uptick
that
we're
talking
about
compared
to
the
regular
weekends
we
looked
at,
who
would
normally
be
traveling
on
weekends,
that
are
header
towards
Van
Wick
and
those
are
the
people
that
we
looked
at
and
that's
why
that
uptick
is
a
small
fraction
again
recognizing
that
any
addition
is
problematic.
But
that's
why
we
have
t
agents
for
that
weekend
and
in
terms
of
why
we
would
do
the
repair
with
concrete
versus
tar.
I
mean
I,
assume
you
mean
like
asphalt,
the
blacktop
that
you
normally
see
to
get
structural
strength.
C
You
need
to
use
concrete
asphalt
or
the
tar
has
no
structural
capacity.
So
we
need
to
gain
a
little
bit
more
capacity
back
that
we
lost
over
the
years
with
the
deterioration
of
the
structure.
So
that's
why
we
need
to
use
concrete.
This
whole
structure
is
concrete,
so
that
unfortunately,
makes
the
repairs
much
more
complicated
for
us.
C
For
such
short
windows,
we
don't
typically
do
a
full
environmental.
This
is
considered
a
repair
job,
so
to
speak,
so
it's
it.
We
wouldn't
do
a
full-on
environmental
assessment.
What
we
do
need
to
make
sure
is
that
the
safety
and
the
traffic
is
managed
through
the
area.
Again,
this
is
you
know,
for
three
weekends
out
of
a
year
that
we're
talking.
So
it's
not
a
big
uptick.
It's
not
a
sustained
uptake
I
recognize
fully
that
nobody
wants
any
traffic
anywhere
on
their
streets.
A
G
Yeah
you're
good,
thank
you
guys
so
much
for
the
presentation
tonight.
It's
really
really
informative
and
I
can
tell
it's
such
a
heavy.
Lift
I
wanted
to
ask,
and
maybe
this
has
been
covered
in
a
different
meeting,
but
and
if
it
has
don't
waste
everybody's
time
and
I
can
just
look
at
that.
But
is
there
any
plan
for
overall
driving
or
traffic
mitigation?
G
C
Absolutely
and
I'm
glad
you
brought
that
up,
because
that
is
one
of
those
things
that
happens
when
it's
a
temporary
time
frame
making
that
you
know
very
obvious
and
saying
listen.
This
is
one
weekend.
You
really
need
to
not
come
in
this
area
or
use.
Another
mode
of
transportation
does
help
and
we
will
definitely
do
it
as
broadly
as
possible.
C
You
know
using
every
means
of
trying
to
get
that
message
out
to
as
many
people
as
possible
and
especially
knowing
when
those
weekends
are
coming
as
early
as
possible,
so
that
people
can
actually
plan
around.
It
is
what
we
are
aiming
for.
I
know
some
people
are
asking
on
the
text
like
when
will
what
are
the
blackout
dates
and
when
are
you
going
to
tell
us
and
all
that?
Well,
we
know
the
obvious
blackout
dates.
C
It's
not
going
to
be
Mother's
Day
weekend
as
Jordan
reminds
us
every
year,
it's
not
going
to
be
on
any
long
weekends.
It's
not
going
to
be
the
marathon
weekend
or
any
of
those
kinds
of
major
major
times,
but
then
then,
after
that,
it
comes
becomes
a
bit
of
a
struggle
to
be
honest
because
there's
so
many
things
that
are
constantly
vying
for
Windows,
we
even
during
you
know
doing
regular
work
or
maintenance
on
the
bridges.
C
It's
tough
for
us
to
find
a
window
that
we
can
do
work
so
those
specific
weekends
we'll
identify
as
early
as
possible
so
that
people
can
plan
around
it,
get
it
out
to
as
much
of
the
freight
industry
and
so
on
and
businesses
so
that
they
can.
You
know,
schedule
delivery
at
other
times
to
the
extent
feasible
and
try
to
reduce
that
burden
of
the
traffic.
That's
on
the
detour
routes,
I.
D
Guess
this
is
a
good
spot
for
me
too,
to
make
my
pitch
I
Rely
sure
heavily
as
Sean
knows
on
my
district
manager.
Colleagues,
to
provide
us
with
Civic
lists
contact
lists
key
stakeholders
in
the
community.
We
want
to
cast
as
wide
in
that
as
we
can,
as
we
do
on
try
to
do
on
all
of
our
Bridge
projects.
So
it's
a
long
time
since
I
asked
I
think
for
a
Civic
list
from
board
14.
So
whoever
you
feel
would
benefit
from
this
and
can
then
re-blast
it
to
large
groups
of
people.
D
We
will
be
we'll
be
looking
for
that
information,
our
community
liaison
for
the
project
they
need.
A
navalu
car
is
building
out
a
huge
network
based
upon
groups,
the
religious
groups.
You
know
the
vfws,
the
Knights
of
Columbus,
the
social
groups,
we're
also
interested
to
hear
from
you.
As
we
heard
from
the
presentation
we
made
recently
with
community
board,
seven
for
small
business
Outreach
again
in
any
kind
of
unique
language
or
cultural
needs.
D
One
of
the
key
things
we
got
out
of
the
meeting
with
board
seven
was
a
contact
for
the
small
business,
primarily
chinese-speaking
Community
up
in
7th
and
8th
Avenue.
If
you
have
any
special
groups
like
that,
you
think
would
be
useful
for
us
to
consider
doing.
Outreach
we've
got
I,
don't
know
10v
what
a
dozen
languages
that
we
can
convert
information
into
for
for
those
who
either
aren't
proficient
in
English
or
particularly
business
people
who
again
might
not
understand
the
kinds
of
construction
information.
D
A
Thank
you
just
a
quick
comment,
so
I
happen
to
work
for
dcwp
and
I'm
glad
to
be
here
tonight,
but
have
you
reached
out
to
your
colleagues
at
SBS
I
think
they
would
probably
also
have
a
number
of
Civic
associations
that
would
be
helpful
and
I'm
happy
to
connect
offline
with
my
contacts
at
SBS
as
well.
Please.
D
Please
go
right
ahead
and
do
that
we
do
have
SBS
on
our
list
for
an
upcoming
presentation,
specifically
with
SBS
and
the
small
business
Community.
We're
also
planning
a
major
presentation
to
a
very
large
Freight
industry
that
will
also
include
all
the
permit
services
that
truck
that
permit
and
file
permits
for
all
the
over-dimensional
people
who
do
travel
legally
and
get
permits.
We're
meeting
with
that
group,
we've
already
met
with
New
Jersey,
Turnpike,
Authority
and
and
transcom,
and
all
of
the
transportation
providers.
As
far
our
way
is
Connecticut
and
out
in
Central
Jersey.
E
B
Thanks,
yeah
and
and
Joni
of
course,
I'm
happy
to
provide
lists,
and-
and
you
know
one
of
the
things
I
appreciate
appreciate
about
you-
is
that
you
reach
out
for
that.
It's
sort
of
also
why
I
asked
about
the
blackout
dates.
It
wasn't
to
throw
more
at
you,
but
just
to
make
sure
that
anything
not
on
the
list.
That
might
be
one
of
our
communities
which,
by
the
way,
speaks
about
30
different
first
languages.
B
You
know
any
any
of
our
cultural
events,
don't
conflict
or
we
can
get
it.
We
can
get
a
heads
up
to
people
about
dates
to
avoid
when
they
are
putting
their
permits
in
for
street
closures
and
and
that
sort
of
thing,
and
also
just
to
acknowledge,
you
know,
identify
holidays
that
sometimes
have
events
in
the
street
like
bonfires
that
don't
get
permitted.
B
B
I,
don't
want
to
take
advantage
of
additional
stresses
in
this
in
this
community,
but
I
do
feel
like
this
is
good
leverage
for
that
to
finally
happen
so
that
people
don't
have
to
physically
walk
out
onto
streets
where
we're
really
trying
to
get
more
enforcement
on
trucks
that
are
off
Route
and
53-foot
trucks
and
the
idea
of
angling
them
45
degree
at
a
45
degree
angle,
and
then,
instead
of
straight
out,
just
isn't
sufficient.
It's
not
going
to
solve
the
problem.
It
just
makes
it
a
little
bit
less
of
a
problem.
C
C
The
uptick
would
be
the
146
for
the
day
hourly
average
is
46,
the
uptick
would
be
six
trucks,
so
this
is
based
on
past
data
that
we've
collected,
where
we
can
see
where
trucks
are
getting
on
and
off,
and
you
know
which
trucks
we
typically
see
go
from
that
part
of
BQE
onto
towards
Van
Wick
or
something
you
know
that
would
take
them
in
this
path.
If
they're
not
headed
towards
Van
Wyck,
they
will
stay
on
and
they
do
what
they
normally
do.
If
they
normally
go
to
this
neighborhood.
A
J
Had
coming
out
of
the
prior
meeting
I
know,
your
colleague
took
down
a
lot
of
notes
based
on
community
feedback.
I
know
you
mentioned
the
consideration
of
driving
down
of
using
the
detour
down
McDonald
as
opposed
to
East
Fifth.
So
I
was
just
wondering
if
there
was
anything
else.
You
know
based
on
the
notes
and
and
the
the
confirmation
that
the
comments
would
be
brought
back
to
dot
or
other
agencies
in
terms
of,
if
there's
any
update,
any
other
sorts
of
updates.
From
the
last
meeting
that
we
had.
C
F
C
Mcdonald
versus
Fifth
Street
so
that
we're
already
taking
into
account
a
lot
of
the
other
comments
we
received
were
the
larger
term
larger
conversations.
So
a
lot
of
those
are
sort
of
being
added
into
the
mix
of
this
visioning
conversation.
And
what
do
we
do
about
longer
term
Freight
issues
and
longer
term
Street
issues,
so
she's
basically
still
continuing
to
collect
that
if
there
is
a
ongoing
thinking
in
certain
areas
which
I
think
was
either
Third
Avenue
or
4th
Avenue
discussion
is
already
ongoing.
So
then
that
would
just
be
fed
to
that
team.
C
D
And
just
just
again,
this
is
kind
of
an
initial
conversation.
We
do
expect
to
be
providing
updates
to
all
the
community
boards
and
all
the
elected
officials
in
in
2023,
and
we
will
have
a
series
of
of
again
updates
when
more
definitions
are
clear
about
the
The
Who
and
the
where
and
the
when,
and
we
will
have,
of
course,
a
full-time
Outreach
team.
You
know
for
for
getting
into
this
and
then
on
the
weekends
when
the
work
is
actually
occurring.
D
We're
also
doing
a
series
of
meetings
with
our
hospitals
and
First
Responders
to
be
sure
that
they
understand
what's
happening
as
well
and
how
they
need
to
get
around
to
still
provide
the
services
that
are
essential
in
the
community
and
we're
doing
those
series
of
meetings
as
well.
So
at
some
point,
probably
when
we
have
a
clearer
schedule,
what
I
am
hoping
to
do
is
to
go
back
again
to
the
Brooklyn
Borough
board
in
the
Brooklyn
Borough
cabinet.
We
did
One
initial
conversation
with
them.
D
A
F
D
D
I
only
have
one
other
little
commercial
that
I'll
take
advantage
of
for
my
one
of
my
favorite
Community
boards.
We
will
be
finally
removing
the
17th
Avenue
pedestrian
bridge
down
off
the
Verrazano,
the
one
that
gets
hit
about
15
to
18
times
a
year.
We're
finally
able
to
remove
that
bridge.
The
27th
Avenue
Bridge
is
currently
under
construction
of
17th
Avenue
Bridge
is
going
to
come
down
on
the
weekends
of
the
weekend
of
November,
12th
and
13th
and
Sean.
