Reconstruct Brinkerhoff Avenue (110th Avenue) from 173rd Street to 178th Street. Reconstruct 176th Street from Brinkerhoff Avenue (110th Avenue) to 109th Avenue. The section of Brinkerhoff Ave. is in serious disrepair. It has not been resurfaced or properly maintained in the last 60 years. There is little to no sidewalk between 176th and 178th streets. The roadway is higher that the pedestrian walkway causing water from the rain and broken water mains to flow into the yards and basements of homes. Between 177th and 178th streets the roadway is so broken up, there is no paving from the pedestrian walkway to more than give feet into the roadway. Cars are parked in the mud. We are submitting photographic evidence. It is truly a deplorable condition.

Reconstruct Brinkerhoff Ave (110th Ave) from 173rd to 178th Street. Reconstruct 176th St. from Brinkerhoff Ave (110th Ave) to 109th Ave. The section of Brinkerhoff Ave is in serious disrepair. It has not been resurfaced or properly maintained tin the last 60 years. There is little to no sidewalk between 1767th and 178th Streets. The roadway is higher than the pedestrian walkway causing water from the rain and broken water mains to flow into the yards and basements of homes. Between 177th and 178th street the roadway is so broken up, there is not paving from the pedestrian walkway into the roadway. Cars are parked in the mud. We are submitting photographic evidence. It is truly a deplorable condition. The drainage issue must be resolved first by DEP prior to DOT work.
