Roads in Selden get a makeover A 12-road paving project has been completed in a residential Selden neighborhood just south of Middle Country Road. This extensive paving project required the full depth reclamation process due to the severe deterioration of the roadways. The process involves the total replacement and removal of a roadway, with 100 percent recycling of the old pavement, which essentially turns the old road into the new base. “I thank Superintendent Losquadro and the men and women of the Highway Department for getting this major project done in my district,” said Town of Brookhaven Councilman Kevin LaValle (R-Selden). Before paving could begin, crews removed and replaced more than 8,000 square feet of concrete aprons, over 600 square feet of sidewalk and 5,000 linear feet of concrete curbs.
The total cost for the paving project was $1,434,233. Camp Drive, Emlu Drive, Highview Drive, Montauk Street, Osage Street, Park Hill Drive, Peconic Lane, Peconic Street, Robin Road, Tuscala Street, Urban Drive and Wyanet Street were paved during the project. “The 12 roadways in this paving project were in extremely poor condition and, since being resurfaced, will now provide a much smoother, safer ride for residents and area motorists,” said Town of Brookhaven Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (R). “Since I took office nearly five years ago, we have been strategically working our way through the town, addressing roadways in most need of attention. It is nice to see the progress that we are making with each project that is completed.”

Town recognizes vet support The Town of Brookhaven honored members of the Long Island American Bikers for Awareness Training and Education (ABATE) at their annual Veterans Appreciation Dinner Oct. 10, held at the Tordik-DiederichDuffield VFW Post 4927 in Centereach. In the past three years, ABATE has had three
Veterans Runs and raised over $300,000 for Long Island’s veterans. A 501(c)(3) not-for-profit, the motorcycle rights organization has over 1,800 members. During the event, it was announced that the group will disburse $120,000 to local veterans groups on Long Island.
Our thanks should be felt and heard, especially at this time of year.
