CAC's working on 32nd Ave...

The great work that CAC has done in Woodside and Middle Village is now in Flushing, just south of Bowne Park.
They sure have a lot of crap out on the street.
Anyone want to place a bet on when the work actually gets done and how much it will end up costing? People have been kind of quiet about this one.

At least they are fixing stuff. Let's just hope it doesn't take as long as the road work takes to do here or else they'd be here for years.

My apologies, what is CAC an acronym for?

It's the acronym for the construction firm doing the work.

Go back in time... remember Andy Capasso? He was the paramour of Bess Myerson and a criminal who spent a time in federal prison. His real name was Carl Andrew Capasso and his son Michel Capasso runs CAC which are the initials of his late father and he is a sewer guy like his old man.

I was trying to call various City agencies to find out why there was construction on Jewel Avenue centered around the Van Wyck exit and entrance ramps and why it's been going on for a year. It's a pretty small area of construction, yet has created a horrible bottleneck for people trying to traverse the park for such a long time. They went from 3 lanes to one, resulting in traffic backing up for blocks. No one at any City agency could tell me what the construction was all about or why, on fair days, I saw no one at work. I mean, what the HECK? Every person I queried passed me on to yet another clueless person. Absolutely disgusting.

Apparently it's maintenance, since the bridge has been up for several decades. The work has been progressing, given that different areas of the bridge are closed off every few weeks, but it feels glacially slow given how vital the bridge is and how bottlenecked the area is. Traffic is unsustainable there with just one lane.

I bet Mikey doesn't even live in Queens. Try the East End.

City should do routine updates to these pipes. I hope all the old galvanized pipes have been removed so far. If not they rust and you wind up with rusts in your water. I lost a third of my hair when I moved into an old home in Queens. Turned out to be excessive rust in the pipes. After I got a rust filter my hair is back! A quick test for this is to put a cotton ball under your faucet for 2 minutes - if it turns brown or orange in that time span you have way too much rust in your house, and it's either your old pipes in the house, or the city's old pipes. Too bad if you live in an apartment building. Try to get a cotton or ceramic filter to rid the rust. Your hair and laundry will be better off for it.
