$1.5 Million Paving Project Finished In Setauket

SETAUKET, NY — A $1.5-million paving project across 19 roads in a neighborhood just north of Route 347 and west of Old Town Road in Setauket has been completed, officials said.

Prior to paving crews finished concrete improvements, inspecting all area drains and repairing and replacing damaged concrete curbing, sidewalk and aprons, according to officials. Roadways resurfaced include: Atlas Street, Bellewood Avenue, Branch Lane, Bud Court, Cabin Lane, Campsite Lane, Deer Lane, Fireside Lane, Game Court, Game Lane, Herd Lane, Lodge Lane, Longhorn Lane, Mayflower Lane, Pak Court, Rack Lane, Stalker Lane, Tenpoint Lane, and Twig Lane.

Highways Superintendent Dan Losquadro said the roadways in the neighborhood had "significantly deteriorated over the years."

“Many had been on our high priority list, and I was happy to include them in this year’s paving budget," he said. "Residents, motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists can now enjoy smoother and safer roadways.”

Councilman Jonathan Kornreich said that many of the calls town officials receive are related to "safety concerns" that are created by potholes and deteriorating roads and he commended Losquadro and his employees "who work hard to keep the roads navigable and safe for the residents who live and travel the area."

"I look forward to continuing to work together with the highway department to answer the needs of our constituents," he said.
