College Point Parking Restrictions Underway Amid Pavement Project

BAYSIDE, QUEENS — Several streets on College Point will be closed for parking as crews come in to mill roadway starting Thursday as part of a series of ongoing construction projects in the neighborhood.

Vehicles were alerted to steer clear of 14th Avenue, between 116th Street and College Point Boulevard, when looking for parking.

Other street parking closures include 120th Street between 14th Road and 14th Avenue, as well as 121st Street between 14th Avenue and 14th Road.

Members of the Department of Design and Construction milled and paved the streets from 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. The pavement is expected to be "completed by the end of next week," according to a DDC spokesperson.

A multimillion-dollar infrastructure project from the city will add 30,000 linear feet of storm sewers, about 288 linear feet of new catch basins, and water main replacements that will make up about 40,000 linear feet.

Council Member Vickie Paladino, who represents College Point, said that the milling will not affect the Memorial Day Parade on College Point Boulevard Sunday.

“The people of College Point have suffered for years on account of this project," said Paladino. "DDC so far has stayed on schedule, this milling and paving is coming right on time. I will continue to work closely with DDC to maintain the timeline and ensure the smoothest possible work for College Point.”
