24 Oct Superintendent Losquadro, Councilman LaValle Announce
Completion of $1.2-million Farmingville/Holtsville Paving Project
Farmingville/Holtsville, NY – Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Daniel P. Losquadro and
Councilman Kevin LaValle have announced the completion of a six-road paving project in
Farmingville/Holtsville.
Prior to paving, a combination of in-house crews and outside contractors completed extensive concrete
improvements, inspecting and installing new drains and repairing and replacing damaged concrete
curbing and aprons. Crews removed and replaced 7,842 square feet of concrete aprons, 8,594 square
feet of sidewalk, 3,340 linear feet of concrete curb, and 1,612 square feet of ADA-compliant handicap
ramps. The $44,963 cost to replace the existing handicap ramps within this project and bring them into
ADA compliance was covered by a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Human Services.
Roads resurfaced during this paving project include Ann Lane, Brian Avenue, Frances Boulevard, Leonard
Street, and Washington Avenue North in Holtsville, and Waverly Avenue from County Road 16 to the
Long Island Expressway North Service Road in Farmingville and Holtsville.
The total cost for this paving project was approximately $1.2 million.
Superintendent Losquadro said, “Waverly Avenue and Washington Avenue are two main arteries
running through this area. In addition, Waverly Avenue sits in a school zone. These roadways are now
safer and smoother for buses, school staff, parents, students, pedestrians, bicyclists and all those who
travel them.”
Councilman LaValle said, “I want to thank the Highway Superintendent for making this project a priority
in this year’s paving schedule. Infrastructure projects are extremely important to our residents,
especially when it comes to the safety of our children in school zones. As a Town Board, we need to
remain focused on funding infrastructure projects like this to continue to improve the quality of life of
our residents in the Town of Brookhaven.”
