Seeing double
City replaces, but doesn’t erase, squiggly
yellow lines on stretch of Neptune Ave.
BY JULIANNE MCSHANE
This agency is still out of
line!
Department of Transportation
workers returned
to Coney Island
to paint a straight pair of
double-yellow lines dividing
traffi c on a stretch of
Neptune Avenue — but did
not fully erase the decidedly
not straight set previously
painted there, and
must return to remove the
still visible squiggles from
the pavement, the local
councilman demanded.
“Maintaining streets
and roads is as basic as it
gets in local governance,”
said Mark Treyger. “DOT
said this would be fi xed.
If it’s not done right, if it’s
more sloppy work, come
back and do it again.”
Transportation Department
workers on Dec.
7 fi nished drawing the
straight lines to divide
Neptune Avenue between
West 33rd and 37th streets,
days after this newspaper
published its report exposing
their squiggly predecessors
to the world, and
more than a week after
Treyger fi rst blasted transit
bigwigs for the slapdash
job he called “ an embarrasment
to the city .”
But the original squiggly
lines — which were
only temporary markings,
according to agency
reps, who blamed their
nonlinear shape on bad
weather — are still faintly
visible on the four-block
stretch, because workers
painted the new straight
lines a few inches away
from them.
It is common for temporary
markings such as
the original squiggles to
remain visible even after
workers lay down permanent
markings, according
to an agency spokeswoman,
who said the
curvaceous pair will fade
with the weather and the
wear-and-tear of traffi c,
and that scraping them off
would ruin the roadway.
The spokeswoman,
however, did not specifi -
cally reply to questions
about why workers did not
paint over the temporary
markings, and other reps
never answered questions
about when work on that
stretch of Neptune Avenue
began, how exactly
weather could affect the
temporary markings, and
what company the agency
contracted to do the work.
And Treyger said that
no explanation should excuse
transportation leaders
from simply getting
the job done correctly.
“Do it right,” he said.
“Our community deserves
nothing less.”
