Brooklyn Height Association to DOT on BQE: Fix Cantilever vibes
The Brooklyn Heights Association has launched a campaign calling on the city Department of Transportation to make urgently needed repairs on the Brooklyn Queens Expressway to stop the shake, rattle and roll that nearby residents are suffering.
Vibrations from trucks on the cantilevered BQE have worsened in the past year – and could be lessened by milling the roadway and replacing concrete and asphalt, the neighborhood advocacy group said in a letter to DOT Borough Commissioner Joseph Palmieri.
This type of repair – which was helpful in the past – hasn’t been done in 12 years, according to the letter signed by BHA President Alexandra Bowie and Executive Director Judy Stanton.
