Borough President Vito Fossella issued the following statement regarding the postponement of construction on the Korean War Veterans Parkway:
After the initial delay, and a continued series of productive conversations with the State Department of Transportation and the Governor’s office, we are pleased to announce that the KWVP maintenance project is now being postponed until after Labor Day.
In addition, there will be a concerted cleanup effort for the south-bound lane in the coming days, the barrels will be removed, and the right lane will be reopened.
We are grateful to Governor Kathy Hochul and the NYS DOT for hearing our concerns and those of our residents, and for being good partners throughout this process.”
