NYC Completes Reconstruction of Rockaway Corridor

The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), NYC Department of Transportation (DOT), NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) and the Mayor’s Office of Climate & Environmental Justice (MOCEJ) joined Councilmember Joann Ariola and the New York State Office of Resilient Homes and Communities to announce the completion of a $16.6 million infrastructure project that rebuilt Beach 108th Street in Rockaway, Queens from Beach Channel Drive to Shore Front Parkway.

The reconstruction included a redesign that improves traffic safety for all road users, better accommodating increased pedestrian and cycling traffic generated by the nearby NYC Ferry landing, and new, porous pavement that will allow nearly 1.3 million gallons of stormwater to be absorbed into the ground each year, which will ease pressure on the sewer system, help to reduce flooding and improve the health of Jamaica Bay.

“By including porous pavement in this reconstruction of Beach 108th Street, we are keeping more than a million gallons of stormwater out of the sewers each year which will reduce localized flooding and help protect the health of Jamaica Bay,” said

NYC Chief Climate Officer and DEP Commissioner Rohit T. Aggarwala. “DEP’s stormwaterregulationsrequirenewdevelopments to manage the rain and snow that falls on them with Green Infrastructure, and we’ll be seeing much more of these types of projects in the coming years.”

“The new Beach 108th Street design brings high-quality, protected bike infra- structure from the boardwalk to the NYC Ferry landing — in addition to expanded pedestrian space and crosswalks. These changes improve safety for all road users and support safe, sustainable, and efficient transportation options for New Yorkers,” said NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez. “We thank MayorAdams for his support as well as the work from DEP and

DDC to deliver this great project right in time for the Rockaway Beach season.”

“This $16.6 million project brings safer streets and innovative new stormwater management techniques such as porous concrete that absorbs water to a coastal area that was greatly affected by Superstorm Sandy,” said NYC Department of Design and Construction Commissioner Thomas Foley. “DDC is working with DEP and DOT to transform the city’s streetscape in every borough for safety and also resiliency. We will look to expand these methods to other neighborhoods as we manage the greater demands placed on us by climate change.”

“The stormwater drainage, pedestrian and roadway improvements to the Beach 108th Street corridor are examples of the Adams Administration’s commitment to making the city more resilient and sustainable for all New Yorkers,” said Victoria Cerullo, acting executive director, Mayor’s Office of Climate & Environmental Justice. “These enhancements will address flooding, provide better and safer connectivity for Rockaway communities to and from the ferry, and offer safer and easier cycling.”
