DEP upgrades and maintenance of Radcliff Ave sewer main line
Information from DEP on ongoing work on Radcliff Avenue (photos 9/26 and 10/7): The emergency contractor (Delaney Construction) completed roadway restoration and clean up last week. Pavement markings are scheduled for this week. The contractor started lining the sewer on Radcliff between Pierce and Sackett Aves last week. The lining process is very weather dependent, cannot be done with any rain and may run longer than anticipated. Weather permitting, DEP’s contractor is to start mobilizing to the site and start lining of the Radcliff sewer trunkline. The contractor works manhole to manhole (no digging on the street). There is no water shutdown scheduled however DEP @nycwater will advise homeowners when to limit water use. Thank you!

Morris Park and Van Nest History
Check out this 1913 view of Morris Park Ave at Bogart Ave - named to honor John Bogart, Chief Engineer of the 180th St (Washington) Bridge into Manhattan. A lot changed…but we still have the ‘vintage’ electrical poles infrastructure.
Victor Street was opened in 1915, named to honor writer and editor Victor Orville (1827-1910), that popularized the ‘dime novels’ and authored several biographies and history books. Thanks @DelanceyPlaceNT for this piece of historical info.
