Summer of Smooth: Another Shirley Paving Project Completed

In the Brookhaven Highway Department, there are no days off. 

So says its Superintendent, Daniel P. Losquadro, who, together with Councilman Michael Loguercio, announced the completion of a $400,000 paving project in Shirley last week. 

This comes not two weeks after Losquadro declared a wrap on an 18-road, $2 million revamp in the same town. 

The latest paving project saw the resurfacing of Precision Drive and Ramsey Road. This location is situated just south of the Long Island Expressway and east of William Floyd Parkway, near an Amazon hub. 

Before work commenced, crews inspected drains and upgraded damaged concrete sidewalks, aprons and curbing. 

According to Losquadro, the long-overdue overhaul buttoned up the industrial park rather “nicely, as we were able to resurface the balance of the roadways that we began paving last year.” 

“Those roadways see an inordinate amount of traffic just from the Amazon trucks coming in and out of that facility alone.”

Adds Loguercio: “As always, Highway Superintendent Losquadro and his team did a wonderful job, especially on a road that has such high truck traffic. Thank you to the entire department for another job extremely well done!”

Is There a New Ace in Town?

The New York Mets have a new ace, and fantasy owners have been accustomed to viewing Freddy Peralta as a near-ace for some time. The move to a more pitcher-friendly park should help, but do not overreach, because the reality is that the lineup around him is roughly the same and the bullpen is likely worse at protecting his leads. Peralta has been a standout for years, and slotting him in as a high-value fantasy arm is easy. The question is just how high he should go.
