When it rains, it floods in Bayside


From NBC:

Residents in Bayside, Queens, says paving crews did such a poor job resurfacing roads that it now regularly floods when it rains. Roseanne Colletti reports.

It's called job security. Heaven forbid if anything would be PERMANENTLY fixed here in nyc! Just look at the poor subway as an example.

funny how you mention the poor subway, because de Faustio has been using the recent state budget bill for the city to fund half the subway rescue plan that was passed to blow off programs to help the poor with reduced train fare and for social workers to help homeless kids in school.

And now you flooding in Bayside endangering homes caused by incompetence whose owners have to pay exorbitant taxes for them (compared to de Faustio's park slope house) and now a simple fix can't be done because suddenly there's no money for it because the subway needs fixing. (De faustio went from blaming Trump for the city's ills that they have been ignoring to blaming Mario's son)

How about cutting ferry service or withdrawing a big chunk from de Faustio's wife's near billion dollar Thrive bullshit program that doesn't do shit at all (ask Saheed Vassell, oh that's right you can't).

half the problem is people paving too much of their property. no where for the water to go if the ground can't absorb it

YES, They did a crap job paving, I saw it. They just poured asphalt and smoothed it out paying no mind to the amount of asphalt they were raking over the top of driveway edges. They neither had knowledge of flow based on grade at the curb or the fact that the street had a hill.
I had an argument with the "supervisor". I asked him to remove the asphalt that was oozing over the edge of my driveway and he said my driveway was too low. Funny cause the cement on my driveway has been there over 20 years and the grade on the street had been below it for 20 years. Now when it rains the water does not flow down the street it flows onto the side walk all the way down the block from everyones driveway. It floods the sidewalks and everyones lawns.

They hire IDIOTS !!!!

Where is Queens Civic Congress?

Oh that's right, hosting show and tell with the city agencies and forwarding densely written legislative proposals of Tony.

Lets not forget their legislative love fest each December.

But then, again, how about their White Papers on shortcomings or our elected officials.

Not.

Crappy construction is going on all over the tri-state metro area, roads, bridges, sewers, subway lines etc., Don't kill the job is the mobbed up industry motto

DOT paved my street in North Flushing and ruined my Belgium block curb and I too have rain sitting in the driveway every time it rains.

Junk, Not built right they should all be replaced.
What kind of stupid allowed houses with driveways that slant backwards to funnel water INTO the house? Moses?
These homes are also built on swamp, the grounds sinks in an uneven vertical zig zag pattern and that creates traps or breaks the drainage conduits.
Houses no good need start over.
