A while back NYC decided to repave 5th avenue in Whitestone Queens to make it a smoother, faster ride for all the speeding cars and trucks that use our street as a race track into our community. Well, as par for course (just like they overshot the 3rd avenue exit, causing a traffic nightmare for our residential community, back in 1939), they did such a wonderful job that this lake is forming with all types of green algae, and larvae, and possibly West Nile mosquitos.Alfredo Centola

As always, we can't overlook the obvious issue here...
The DOT is a government-run agency.
Zero accountability, zero!
this is why we need al centola to run for public office
the location of the 42nd avenue center dividers, from Francis Lewis Blvd. to Clrv. Expwy., is even worse.
the rain puddles remain stagnate for weeks, because of deteriorated curbs.
Q.C posted the photos last year , when the D.O.T. paved the avenue and left the disintegrated curbs.
Any one see Avella or Braunstein in the area ?
Padavan and Halloran wrote to D.O.T. D.O.T. promised in November. Eight months ago. Here we sit broken hearted.
Maybe we could get some bike lane $ for repairs ?
Sorry, but the budget for the entire entire bicycle program within the last 4 years is a drop in the bucket compared to what it costs to fix things like this and repave the streets.
There is a MUCH larger DOT created lake on 11th Street just north of 45th Road in Long Island City. They repaved about 5 years ago and refuses to fix the botched job.
I say we name each body of water Bloomberg Lake , Khan pond, McCarthy Pool?
A PLEA FOR HELP TO AL CENTOLA
i realized that you are the most honest ethical and fiercest fighter of truth in queens county
their is a severe problem in your hometown of whitestone
the district leader from whitestone evan stavisky according to sources lives in rockland county
thus, the person who help picks the dem nod nomineee in any race in whitestone does not live in whitestone
we need your help al centola
it is a serious issue
you are the go to go civic leader on issues such as this please help the good people of whitestone
Those are grass clippings in the second picture, not algae. Probably dumped there by one of Whitestone's finest undocumented alien gardeners.
How many citizens will die from mosquito borne diseases in Queens this year ? Send more nets to Africa.
But endanger our people in Queens? who is in charge?Get the N.Y.C. E.P.A. agents out of the bars now....
For the grass clipping expert! Standing pools of water create algae and breed mosquitos. This pool forms every summer, even after calls, too many to mention, to the Mayors 311 help line. Likewise the giant oak tree on the street next to this property, which is a NYC tree, commonly drops hundred pound limbs onto the street and sidewalk and the City refuses to trim it or take it down.
We have a problem in Whitestone all right, everyone they elect is inept and incompetent.
Bicycle Commissioner Sadik-Khan is responsible for not installing speed bumps and dips on these newly paved streets.
We have a problem in Whitestone all right, everyone they elect is inept and incompetent.
Yet you morons keep voting in the same people over and over again.
Gee....Malba has sooooo many problems.
Move to downtown Flushing Mr. Centola and you'll really see what life can be like!
Fishy juicy gunk instead of algae floating in pools of bluish, milky white who know what kind of liquid.
LOL....I love these privileged complainers.

"Uh, the old nut is on a tear again......Tranq-time gramps.
BTW: what is with all you lazy Queens-ites? When this sort of thing happens in Manhattan a doorman, janitor or house owner just comes out with a corm broom or similar and spreads it out so it disperses and dries.
Try it lazy asses.
you can't just sweep away the water by the curb azzho' - and BTW, the streets of Whitestone and it's surrounding areas ARE spotless thanks to the people who live there.
this problem is now going to be a breeding ground for mosquito larvae!
shame!
i walked along Second Avenue on the U.E.S. ,in the 72-80 street section.
with this heat, the sidewalks and gutter smell was unbearable,from the dog piss and crap that you spread around with your little broom.
