Council Member Phil Wong is calling on the city’s Department of Transportation to improve its communication and planning for street repaving projects after paving work outside P.S./I.S. 49 in Middle Village allegedly caused what he described as “significant disruption” during Wednesday morning rush hour.
DOT closed 80th Street outside P.S./I.S. 49 at around 7:20 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 30, with Wong claiming that the measure resulted in school buses dropping students blocks away from the school.
