Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Daniel P. Losquadro and Councilwoman Karen Dunne Kesnig have announced the completion of a paving project in Shirley, New York. The project involved resurfacing 21 roads and was completed at a cost of approximately $1.5 million.
Before the paving began, crews conducted drainage maintenance and replaced damaged concrete aprons and curbing on several roadways. The roads included in the project were Cumberland Street, Essex Circle, Floyd Road, Floyd Road North, Fulton Place, Hampton Avenue, Hawthorne Street, Jefferson Place, Lexington Road North, Madison Street, Main Avenue, Monroe Street, Moriches Avenue, Ormond Place, Ostend Circle, Patchogue Avenue/Northern Boulevard, Reeves Place, Shinnecock Avenue, Somerset Avenue, Southaven Avenue and Van Buren Street.
Superintendent Losquadro stated that "this paving project involved a great deal of drainage upgrades before the resurfacing of the roadways could commence." He expressed gratitude for including this neighborhood in their 2024 paving season.
Councilwoman Dunne Kesnig emphasized their commitment to improving roadways by working with the Highway Department and Superintendent Losquadro to identify areas needing attention. She acknowledged that while they would like to pave every road more frequently, they aim to maximize accomplishments within available resources.
