Please look for and observeall construction signs and barri-ers so that work can proceed in atimely manner.
The New York State Depart-ment of Transportation (NYSDOT)has awarded a $555 million con-tract to construct Phase 1 of thenew Kosciuszko Bridge.
As part of this work, the con-tractor will be removing one east-bound lane of the BQE structureat Vandervoort Avenue. Thiswork will require a full closure ofthe Vandervoort Avenue under-pass for the duration noted above,between eastbound and west-bound Meeker Avenues.
Motorists traveling southboundon Vandervoort Avenue should usethe following detour: west at west-bound Meeker Avenue, south on
Kingsland Avenue, and finally easton Lombardy Street toVandervoort Avenue.
The new Kosciuszko Bridgewill improve traffic safety, re-duce congestion and improvetravel speeds. Enhancements tothe roadway will include extralanes, wider lanes and a reducedincline creating longer sight linesand increased visibility. Theproject will also include a newbikeway/walkway on the bridge;new parks and open spaces; im-proved access to the waterfront;and enhancements to local streets.The project is part of the NewYork Works Program, created togenerate jobs and increase eco-nomic development.
The project team will makeevery effort to minimize impacts

“I want to thank Mayor Bill deBlasio for his relentless push toachieve Vision Zero in NYC, andthe local community for workingwith us to improve Queens Boule-vard,” said Department of Trans-portation Commissioner PollyTrottenberg. “After decades ofcrashes, this corridor will be rede-signed to become a safer, greener,and more attractive corridor forresidents and businesses. I lookforward to seeing cyclists enjoy anew protected bike lane, pedestri-ans confidently crossing and mo-torists safely traversing through theWorld’s Borough.”

OVERHAUL OF QUEENS BLVDto eliminate roadway fatalities,alongside traffic enforcement andeducation. Queens Boulevard isone of four major corridors beingredesigned for safety under the$250 million Great Streets initia-tive funded in this year’s budget,in addition to 50 priority intersec-tions and streets overhauled forsafety each year by the DOT.
The Queens Boulevard rede-sign process began in January withDOT-sponsored workshops togather community input on safetyneeds, and a complete study oftraffic and safety conditions. InMarch, the DOT presented a draft
-Safer crossings will be in-stalled along the corridor. Pe-destrian islands will be con-structed at 65th Place and 50thStreet so pedestrians can crossthe boulevard in stages, ratherthan dashing across. A newmidblock crossing will be con-structed between 72nd St and73rd St to give pedestrians moreopportunities to cross QueensBoulevard. High visibility cross-walks and new signals will beadded to Queens Boulevard atthe BQE ramps at 66th Streetand at 68th Street to provide safercrossings.
-DOT will add protected bikelanes with buffers and new pe-destrian space along the mediannext to the service lane in bothdirections. A raised, concrete bi-cycle path, separated from traf-fic, will be constructed under theoverpass on the eastbound ser-vice road from 67th Street to69th Street.
-Pedestrian ramps alongthe corridor will be upgradedto be ADA-compliant, improv-ing accessibility for New York-ers with disabilities.
-Low-volume slip lanes willbe closed to reduce conflict points.The slip lane between 54th Streetand 56th Street will be closed,and at 59th Street, 59th Placeand 61st Street, slip lanes willbecome “STOP” controlled turnlanes – which slow speeds andallow for safe bicycle and pedes-trian crossings. DOT will con-struct a new slip lane transitionbetween the main and serviceroads at 64th Street, closer to theentrance to the BQE.
-Service roads will be reducedto one moving lane in each direc-tion along certain stretches, andthe main line will continue tohave three moving lanes in eachdirection, encouraging through-traffic to use the center roadway.

“It’s no secret that Queens Boulevardhas been, for too long, one of the mostdangerous corridors in New York City,”said Congress Member Joe Crowley.
“For the first time in historyour City is taking concrete, pro-gressive steps toward re-engineer-ing the ‘Boulevard of Death’ toensure it truly does become a bou-levard that is filled with life,” saidCouncil Member Jimmy VanBramer. “Under the leadership ofDOT Commissioner PollyTrottenberg, the de Blasio admin-istration continues build upon itscommitment to protecting the livesof Western Queens children, fami-lies and seniors who live along theBoulevard. No families shouldever suffer the loss of a loved onealong this major thoroughfare andour City’s $100 million invest-ment into Queens Boulevard setsour City on a course closer to theday when Vision Zero is a reality.”
Re-engineering dangerousroadways is a key pillar of Mayorde Blasio’s Vision Zero initiative
design to Community Board 2’sTransportation Committee, and inMay, returned to the Board to re-spond to and discuss thecommunity’s comments. DOT re-turned in June to both the Trans-portation Committee and FullBoard to present and secure sup-port for the final plan, which it didin a unanimous vote.
When implemented, the projectwill significantly improve safetyon the corridor. The new designwill route through-traffic on themain line roadway and reduce mo-torists’ switching repeatedly be-tween the main line and serviceroad via “slip lanes.” The plan elimi-nates highway-like design featuresthat encourage speeding, and com-pletes the pedestrian network byconnecting neighborhoods withnew crossings. The DOT will imple-ment the following improvements:
FOAM TAKEOUT PACKAGING BANNEDEateries serving up food in foam containers subject to fines
The City Council passed a law stating that restau-rants were banned from using expanded polysty-rene foam--commonly known under the brandnameStyrofoam—as takeout food packaging startingJuly 1, 2015. Fortunately for businesses inSunnyside, no fines will be levied until January 1,
2016. In the meantime, managers of local eateriesshould look into alternatives like aluminum-foil

On July 23rd, the New York City Coun-cil voted to support and officially landmarkthe Bank of Manhattan “Clock Tower”Building, located at 29-27 Queens Plaza inLong Island City. Over several months Coun-cil Member Van Bramer helped lead agrassroots campaign to preserve the historicbuilding and ensure the “Clock Tower” build-ing lasts for generations.
“I’m proud to announce that we havelandmarked the iconic “Clock Tower” Build-ing in Queens Plaza,” said Council MemberVan Bramer. “I have long supported thedesignation of this historic structure. AsLong Island City continues to grow it isimportant that we preserve its beautiful ar-chitecture and the wonderful character ofour vibrant neighborhood. This is a tremen-dous victory for New York City preserva-tionists and local residents who contactedmy office and joined the fight to retain thecharacter of Long Island City.”
The Clock Tower was built by C.T Willsand features a vertical band of contrasting
brick that accentuates its height and leadsthe eye crests, monograms, and gargoylesdecorating the battlements. The Tower alsofeatures an unusual light well that opens outto the east of the building and provides smallbalconies for each floor. Three of thebuilding’s fourteen stories comprise theClock Tower itself, which houses its mostprominent feature: a 14’-diameter four facedelectron clock whose mechanism was de-signed and built by the Electime Companyof Brooklyn. Interestingly, the exterior wallsof the tower follow the gentle tapering of thebuilding plot.
At the time of its completion, the ClockTower was the tallest building in Queens andremained so until the mid-1970’s. Throughthe years, the building has been occupied byimportant city and state officials, includingthe Borough President of Queens’ staff whenit first opened. Morrell Smiths’ architecture isextremely unique to this area with its elegantclock tower and aggressive crenels guardingthe roof line is like nothing else in the plaza.
President and CEO, Queens Library.“The people of Hunters Point and Queens
will be forever grateful to the Hon. JimmyVan Bramer and the New York City Councilfor securing all the funds necessary to com-plete our Queens Library at Hunters Point,”said Mark A. Christie, President, Friends ofHunters Point Library. “This will be aniconic structure on our waterfront and thecrown jewel in the Queens Library systemthat will be one of the greatest assets in ourburgeoning community. Thanks to all mem-bers of the community who have been sup-porting us for all these years.”
“Now that we see our beautiful libraryrising along the East River, we celebrate thismost important cultural and social anchor forour community,” said Jeff Foreman, Secre-tary for Friends of Hunters Point Library.“We also celebrate the great work and leader-ship of our Councilman, Jimmy Van Bramer,who never gave up even when our Friends ofthe Library group and so many in the commu-nity despaired this library would ever be built.Jimmy always fought for this library and forHunters Point. The Hunters Point Library istruly the house that Jimmy built.”
Once complete the project will be locatedat Center Boulevard and 48th Avenue, nextto Gantry Plaza State Park. The 21,500-square-foot branch which was designed byrenowned architect Steven Holl will featurea reading garden, rooftop terrace, readingrooms for all ages, a gallery, performancespace, a children’s area and sweeping viewsof the New York City’s skyline from the EastRiver. Public service is expected to begin in2017. Council Member Van Bramer has nowallocated $6 million to complete the project.

OVERHAUL OF QUEENS BLVDwork to redesign Queens Boule-vard from 73rd Street to EliotAvenue, and then from Eliot Av-enue to Jamaica Avenue.
“It’s no secret that Queens Bou-levard has been, for too long, oneof the most dangerous corridors inNew York City,” said CongressMember Joe Crowley.
“Sadly, too many NewYorkers have lost a friend, fam-ily member or a neighbor to thehazardous conditions on thismajor thoroughfare. I commendthe City for making QueensBoulevard a priority in its Vi-sion Zero initiative and for mak-ing the necessary investmentsin this plan which will, withouta doubt, help ensure the safety

“I’m grateful that DOT and theMayor’s Vision Zero program havetargeted this section as a startingpoint for new safety improvementsfor Queens Boulevard,” said As-sembly Member Margaret Markey.“This stretch of roadway has beena dangerous and confusing barrierthrough our communities for many
years. These improvements willrationalize a challenging stretch ofroadway in a way that will makeour communities safer and benefitpedestrians, bikers and drivers.”
POPULAR, ACTIVE SUNNYSIDER DIES AT 86by Patricia Dorfman
The wakes at Edward D. Lynch FuneralHome were crowded as though for a publicfigure, with many lovely bouquets, and thefuneral mass on Tuesday, at Queen of An-gels Church for Frances (née Borello) Fudge,was packed. The community poured out toremember “Fran,” as she was called, anactive member of Queen of Angels Churcheven before its construction in 1965. Monsi-
gnor Thomas Healy, at one time her familypriest in Brooklyn extolled her generosity atthe funeral mass, which was also presidedover by five other priests.
Nuns who used to serve and teach atQueen of Angels recall her years of wonder-ful meals she made for all of them, cookingin the convent on Skillman Avenue, stillstanding but now privately owned. “My momhad three jobs as I was growing up here,”said her only child, John Fudge, a retiredpostal employee. “She cooked for the nuns,she cashiered at the grocery store, and shecared for ‘tough’ kids in a special program.No one would mess with her, “ he laughed.
John recalled his eight aunts and uncles.The aunts “had Italian specialties” he remem-bers fondly. “Mom made the braciole (“braz-jool”) which was flank steak pounded, stuffed,tied with string and slow cooked like potroast.” Both sides of Fran’s family came fromSicily, four siblings born there, four here.
Fran was widowed early, losing her hus-band in in 1965. John J. Fudge was a “mili-tary man,” [Army] said Fran’s sister HelenKroski, also a well-known Sunnysider. Helenadded “Fran will be buried beside him atLong Island National Cemetery, a beautiful
place.” Fran is survived, in addition to twosisters and her son, by two grandchildren,two great grandchildren and many nieces,nephews and cousins. Son John seemedpleased by the obvious evidence of the markhis mother made in her life, and was sur-prised and gratified at hearing all the lovingmemories others told him. “I wish we couldserve champagne.”
Fran’s other living sibling is MaryDeTemple, a former nurse, who said, “Weseem to be losing one other so quickly, onein August, one is September, and now Fran.”Mary said that Fran had been on an outing onWednesday last week, driven by her friend,Linda Kazakian, and had a little troublegetting her breath. Fran refused to go to thedoctor, and just said she needed to go homeand rest. That night, she passed away in herapartment on 42nd Street. ((Fran was a cheer-ful, reassuring person, with a lovely laugh,and always seem to bounce back from pre-vious ailments. She continued to serve in theparish, dine out in the neighborhood, andengage in her many volunteer activities,including as a member of Third Order of St.Francis. The recent photo is of her on thebenches outside of Lodati Playground, where
she often enjoyed the day with her friend,Patricia, or her sister, Helen. Frances Schmidtof the parish said, “Fran was a good friend toall of us.”
Fran was a devout Roman Catholic wholived her faith and made Queen of Angels thecenter of her life. Father Brain Dowd, thepastor, said, “Fran was an integral part of ourlives and that of the church; we all feel theloss.” But we are “ blessed to have had her inour lives in our church and in our community.”
Fran’s family asks that those wishing toremember her with a donation send to “Queenof Angels Church,” 44-04 Skillman Ave.,Sunnyside, NY 11104, noting, “in memoryof Frances Fudge.”
