As you likely noticed (or felt), city crews milled Second Avenue from 14th Street to the Bowery this past week.
Crews also milled Third Avenue between 12th Street and the Bowery, a move that likely makes sense to someone.
These East Village avenues are not on the coming week's Milling and Resurfacing Schedule at the DOT.
As we've seen, it usually takes several weeks before the milled streets are repaved. 🙏

Obviously, these need to be done but how can the City traditionally leave it like this for weeks before paving????
I would not mind if the city stripped the streets down to the original Belgian bricks!
"how can the City traditionally leave it like this for weeks before paving?"
One explanation often given is that when a street is milled, the City gives utilities like Con Edison, Verizon, Spectrum, etc. some time to go the area and examine and repair their underground pipes and cables before the paving is done.
Which doesn't mean that the whole process could be better managed, but that's at least one rationale.
