Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Daniel P. Losquadro and Councilwoman Jane Bonner have announced the completion of a nine-road paving project in Miller Place.

Prior to paving, crews inspected and installed drains; repaired and replaced damaged concrete curbing, sidewalk and aprons; and installed ADA-compliant handicap ramps at a cost of approximately $81,000. The nine roadways that were resurfaced include: Helme Avenue, Helme Avenue Extension, Islander Court, Jessica Lane, Memorial Drive, Miller Place Road, Miller Place-Middle Island Road, Miller Place-Yaphank Road, and Mt. Sinai-Coram Road. The total cost for this paving project was approximately $2.2 million.

“This paving project included some very heavily-populated roadways, along with main arteries for teachers, students and staff attending Miller Place High School,” said Superintendent Losquadro. “The sidewalks and roads within this paving project are now safer for all those who travel them.”

Councilwoman Bonner said, “These roads are some of the busiest in my council district and now they are much safer for motorists, walkers and bicycle riders. I thank Superintendent Losquadro and the Highway Department for their efforts to get it all done before it’s too cold to pave.”

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
