Friends of Rockaway and New York Cares offering free mold assessment/remediation in Rockaway

Tue, 2013-01-15 06:34 — Amanda Cole

 

FriendsOfRockaway.org needs your help to spread the word to all of our family, friends, and neighbors, as well as other community activists and leaders like yourselves who can also spread the word.

As community leaders, it's crucial we advise Rockaway residents to not rush and build their walls back until they use this amazing opportunity for a free assessment before they will rebuild potentially over mold or wet surfaces.

Coming Back: A View of the Rockaways: A month after Hurricane Sandy, residents of a low-income housing development in Queens are still coping with a loss of power and water shut-offs.  By Sarah Maslin Nir and Emma Cott

Friends of Rockaway Beach to rally this Sunday, at 1 p.m. on Beach 86th St., to get residents, beach-lovers and elected officials refocused on their “Demand the Sand” campaign.

Just hours after Superstorm Sandy devastated Rockaway Beach, someone angrily spray-painted a message on the wall of a battered handball court:

“John Cori warned you.”

Cori, who grew up down the street on Beach 92nd St., has spent the past few years advocating for beach replenishment, new jetties and other reforms to protect the dangerously eroded shoreline.

The 49-year-old contractor does not fancy himself a soothsayer.

Direct Subway Service To Return To Rockaways In Mid-2013 via NY1.com

Thu, 2012-11-29 10:41 — LuLu2012

MTA ServiceDirect subway service is not expected to return to the Rockaways in Queens until the middle of 2013, according to a Metropolitan Transportation Authority source. NY1's Michael Herzenberg filed the following report.

 

Expect to wait until summer for the Rockaways commute to return to normal.

Hurricane Sandy almost totally destroyed the A train tracks in Broad Channel, which connect the peninsula to the rest of the city.
