Stay Strong,   Victory for Broad Channel Families After meeting with my office, community leaders and local residents, the Department of Transportation has agreed to repave additional side streets initially excluded from the Broad Channel Street Resurfacing Project. Dozens of streets, including Shad Creek Road, East 6th Road and many others are now promptly being worked on! This is a huge victory for our families and I want to give a special thank you to Dan Mundy and the Broad Channel Civic Association for their hard work and tireless advocacy! Raising A Stink Over Sewer Odors  Our families shouldn't have to hold their noises any longer to avoid the foul odors caused by backed up catch basins. I have sent a letter to DEP demanding they do a comprehensive review of the sewers and catch basins in our neighborhoods and implement a system to regularly maintain them immediately. Sandy recovery must remain a top priority for every city agency to ensure our infrastructure is updated and prepared for future storms. Watch me on NY1 discuss this issue here.  Team Goldfeder Turns 3!         Last Saturday marked my 3 year anniversary since I was elected to serve you and some of the greatest neighborhoods in New York State. We have faced some daunting challenges and they have only made our partnership and my commitment stronger. Thank you to the hardest working staff in government, my family and all the community leaders and residents for your love and support. We have accomplished so much, but the best is yet to come!
