City Letter & Inquiries
The full letter from the NYC Department of Design and Construction detailing the schedule and conditions is available for community review. We encourage residents to view the letter and reach out to CHJCC with any questions or requests for clarification.
We have been working closely with the city to ensure that the work proceeds quickly and efficiently, with sensitivity to community needs and timelines.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we continue to advocate for a better Crown Heights.
How long has it been since they ploughed over the once grand president st? May as well turn it into a farm and grow some crops. At the rate the work is done and the very long periods that the land lies fallow, this job is not going to be finished anytime soon.
Just in time for ג’ תמוז
I understand there’s no good time to rip up the roads in crown heights, but is anyone keeping count on how often they do it? I can remember Kinus time, tishrei, camps leaving etc. there should be a limit as to how many times a year they can rip up the same street!
Our CHJCC and photo opp reps are asleep at the wheel. The streets have been ripped up too many times to count. President St has been under construction for at least 2 years. We are tired of the hammering at 7:00 AM. Now Kingston?!?! And on Shabbos?!!? There’s got to be a better way.
