Floral Park:
The LIRR Expansion Project from Floral Park to Hicksville, one of the region’s most significant transportation infrastructure projects, is now underway throughout the communities along a nearly ten mile stretch of mainline track.
During the month of June, you will see construction crews performing work in Floral Park. Specifically, there will be crews taking geographic surveys of the roads around and near the rail road; and crews conducting pre-construction inspections of the existing conditions of structures surrounding worksites. Along the right-of-way, crews will begin clearing overgrown vegetation overnight. By way of explanation:
Vegetation Clearing and Removal
- Along the right-of-way, crews will clear overgrown vegetation to allow for temporary utility relocation
- The overnight work can take place anytime between 10:30 p.m. – 5:00 a.m.
Existing Roadway Surveys
- A specially equipped van is driven to specific points to video and photograph the condition of the existing roadways, prior to construction beginning
- The survey is conducted to ensure the roadways are protected in the unlikely event of any damage
Existing Structure Surveys
- Property located within a specified radius of anticipated construction work requires a pre-construction photo inspection
- The survey is conducted to ensure the property is protected in the unlikely event of any damage
- Vibranalysis Inc., an independent consulting firm, will perform the survey
- Inspection consists of photographs and written documentation, recording the existing conditions of the interiors and exteriors of the structures surrounding the site
