Bulkheads to Be Cleaned

DSC_5283

Back in the Spring of 2007 the New York City Department of Design and Construction was tasked with reconstructing four bulkheads in the Gerritsen Beach area,  including sewer work. The majority of the work is complete at the Bartlett Place, Devon Ave., Everett Ave., Hazel Crt.

Now, Those areas are surrounded by splash pads (yellow) and it looks like they are doing some shoreline stabilization as well . According to CB15 Chairperson Theresa Scavo this is all part of the DDC Project to do some minor cleanup of the area.

Garbage Piles Up Living in the Old-Old Section

Coming in Via Email.

Old-Old Section you ask? I’m talking about Kay Court, Landis Court, Merit Court, off of Just Court. It’s the only section of the old section which is not connected to any sort of Avenue. Which is just weird.

In this part of the old section, Garbage pickup is completely dependent on the cars that are illegally parked on the corners which blocks sanitation (therefore fire) trucks access to the blocks.

Bartlett Place is a one way all the way down to the water, with the ability to make a left (toward cryus) on Abbey, Canton, Eaton, Noel, Hyman, and Just Courts. There are no parking signs on those respective blocks allowing access for larger vehicles room to turn.

The problem for residents of Kay, Landis, Merit and Just Court residents is that if someone removed those no parking signs. Surprising? When someone is parked there there is no Garbage pickup. Which can sometimes last for weeks.

There are numerous no parking signs on Bartlett missing. If you wanted to make a left onto Bartlett from Beacon, Dare, Frank, Gain, and Ivan Courts. Signs below Frank are missing making lefts ONTO Bartlett difficult if not impossible.
