At the request of Senator Michael Gianaris, the Department of Transportation approved a street resurfacing project at Hazen Street and Ditmars Boulevard.

Astoria residents reached out to Senator Gianaris to express concern regarding the lack of safety at this location due to poor
pavement conditions, and he pushed DOT to address the problem.
Local residents are concerned about surface conditions at this location in particular because of the high volume of foot and car traffic. Seniors worry they could trip and fall and drivers have expressed concern about difficulty approaching the Grand Central Parkway, which is one block away.

“It is unacceptable for seniors to be afraid to walk in their own neighborhood or for drivers to be wary of damaging their cars due to poorly paved roads,” said Senator Gianaris. “I am glad the DOT listened to our community and is taking steps to remedy this problem as quickly as possible.”

Senator Gianaris has a long history of working to improve transportation safety and making it easier for Queens residents to travel around our neighborhoods. This summer he requested DOT make traffic safety improvements in Dutch Kills, and in the past he successfully advocated for safety improvements and traffic pattern redesigns in Queens Plaza. He will
continue working with DOT to improve transportation safety and western Queens.
