AFTER YEARS OF WAITING FINALLY THE GROUND GETS FIX

Queens, Jamaica…. Years of rumbling from residents yield Sutphin Boulevard’s renovations; now we are getting something done which many voiced that it is about time. Imagine that its Friday night or even  during the week, you are stuck on Sutphin Blvd trying to get home its gridlock….. no car, bus, taxi, bikecycle nothing is going any where. This is what residents go through each and everyday.

The Jamaica Development Corp promised to fix and keep promising to fix, no results. Recently the bus stops have change and still there seems to be even more gridlock. Few years ago a manhole developed by the Long Island rail road…across the street where the Q8, Q9 and the Q41 now stop. Last week finally, I saw a crew actually fixing and covering up the manhole.

For years they patch the hole with a metal plate covered over it. Now it’s seeing the light of day and I hope that the money being used to fix it,  is not coming out of the $7.65 Million funds, which is slated for the use of broadening or widening  the Archer Avenue Rail Road Station Plaza; even though that subway is one in the same. The manhole is right next to the subway …you be the judge.
