Thanks to Councilman David G. Greenfield’s funding, the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) finished paving the most dangerous roads of Borough Park and Midwood last week. Greenfield ensured that this important work was scheduled for the summer months when schools are closed and many people are away in the Catskills and on vacation. This way, paving causes the least possible inconvenience for drivers. The streets are now smooth and accessible for commuters in the fall.
“Smooth roads are a critical quality of life issue. That’s why I secured extra money in the New York City budget to ensure that roads in our community are fixed. My many thanks to the Department of Transportation for taking my priorities into consideration and fixing the streets in the summer instead of the rest of the year,” said Councilman Greenfield.
“Thank you to Councilman Greenfield for securing extra funding for street repavement in Borough Park and Flatbush and thanks to the Department of Transportation for attending to these streets so quickly,” said Yidel Perlstein, Chairman of Community Board 12.
“More streets were repaved in Borough Park and Flatbush this summer than any other community in New York,” said Greenfield. Greenfield places a priority on advocating for drivers in Brooklyn. That’s why Greenfield has passed a law that grants drivers a 5 minute grace period at muni-meters. Also making life easier for drivers, Councilman Greenfield’s muni-meter legislation, which allows drivers to pre-pay muni-meters one hour before the meter regulations and shuts down meters when the rules are not in effect or the meter is out of paper. Moreover, Greenfield passed the law that stops the Department of Sanitation from placing an impossible-to-remove neon sticker on cars that do not move on alternate-side parking days.
The full list of streets that were repaved in Councilman Greenfield’s district is below:
18th Avenue between 46 Street and 61 Street
14th Avenue between 44 Street and 61 Street
23rd Avenue between Ave M and 61 Street

related to greenfield and DOT, it was Greenfield who SPONSORED the law that gave de blasio the power to put speed cameras everywhere due to his crazy “zero vision” law. I hope you post this.
Great Job!
Now let’s reclaim, rebuild and resurface 37th Street between 14th and 15th Avenues
Then let’s deal with the epidemic of so many fruit and grocery stores that usurped the public’s sidewalk by actually building out their stores onto the sidewalk preventing the free passage of the public. This is especially detrimental to mothers with double strollers but affects all of us. There apparently is no sufficient deterrent under the current laws to stop this. Some stores receive a fine of a few hundred dollars but just view it as a business expense.
We need legislation that requires demolition of these egregious violations of the public domain. These are our sidewalks!!
thank you d greenfield for smoothing out the streets. now can you get someone to clean up all those paskesz, liebers and mayim chayim wrappers off the filthy streets of crooklyn.
Great, now that the summer is over. The newly paved streets will make it easier for double and triple parking.
Great, and not a week later, ConEd came by to do some digging, on the newly re-paved road.
100 down, OCEAN PARKWAY TO GO!!!!!
