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.

Oily substance covers Devon Avenue bulkhead

It seems like only yesterday that the new bulkheads were finally finished. To be more precise it was around August 2008 when they were completed.

Now it seems as though someone intentionally  poured an oily sticky substance all over the Devon Avenue bulkhead.
