We Need Your Help!!!

We are asking all residents of West 12th Road to help us this week in our ongoing efforts to address the issue of serious tidal flooding on West 12th Road. Please join us at this week’s meeting of the Broad Channel Civic Association on Thursday, October 28, 2010 at 7:30 p.m. at the V.F.W. Hall on Shad Creek Road. Many of our elected officials and city agency representatives will be present at this meeting to discuss the status of the Flood Mitigation Capital Project Initiative for West 12th Road and other areas within our community.


Our strength in numbers, as evidenced at the April 16th, 2010, meeting with the Queens Borough President, proved invaluable in finally getting this project off the ground after years of inaction on the part of the city.

The design phase of this project has already commenced and we are presently engaged with the city in an attempt to expedite this project to allow actual construction for this flood mitigation project to begin on West 12th Road during the Spring/Summer of 2011. We have been informed that preliminary design concepts for this project will be made available to us this December.

It is important that West 12th Road demonstrate our continued active interest and involvement in this issue by having as many of our residents as possible in attendance at this meeting. Your attendance at this meeting will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
