The DOT posted flyers earlier this week stating that crews would be milling Avenue A from Houston to 14th Street starting last night. (The DOT's website had a Thursday evening start date — see screengrab below.)
Milling Avenue A this week might have been the final nail in the Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade coffin, tentatively set for Saturday afternoon on Avenue A between Seventh Street and 14th Street.
However, we're told that the city has postponed this work and even updated its weekly schedule to reflect that change.
Also, as several readers have noted, part of Avenue A was already milled back in MARCH.
Meanwhile, after finishing a whole block last Friday night, Second Avenue is scheduled to be paved during the evenings this week.
Also! Third Avenue is scheduled to be paved Friday night from 12th Street and Houston.
All of this is very subject to change.
Thanks to the EVG reader for the top pic.
Hopefully they're just covering their asses by saying the whole length? They already did up to what - 2nd or so - in March on Ave A?
ReplyDeleteThe top portion definitely needs repaving but it seems like a waste of money to do the recently redone lower portion.
ReplyDeletePlease read more carefully.. it's only to 7th Street
DeleteThe screengrab from the DOT website says milling on Ave. A between E. 10 and E. 1st and Ave. A between 14th and 10th (not sure why the had to specify 2 separate milling "events" for the same stretch).
DeleteWhat a slop job. They mill, then takes forever to pave (I realize they let other crews do repairs in-between, but in all reality, there will always be crews ripping the street up). Then it takes forever to paint the lines.

ReplyDeleteThis should be completed just in time for it all to be rotted away by the laying of 5 inches of rock salt to melt away 1/32 inch of snow.
