Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Monday a new city effort aimed at better coordination between utilities and private construction companies in order to minimize the number of times streets are dug up.
Bloomberg made the announcement on Skillman Avenue in Sunnyside, Queens, where recent Consolidated Edison work was coordinated with a city street resurfacing, eliminating the need for two separate projects.
“Going forward, if one utility company intends to dig up the street for repair work, the Department of Transportation can let other utilities know about that so other projects get done before the street is resurfaced,” Bloomberg said.
The plan includes an online tool standardizing the permitting process, a map showing where construction is happening and increased fines for working without a permit.

He actually found his way across the East River?
Someone should have groped him, maybe then we would have more of a police presence here.
“Going forward…?” What happened to “In the future…”?
Can’t wait for the verdict in the Haggerty trial. We know that Bloomberg was buying votes. The shame is that he could have been defeated.
Bloomberg only comes here to try to polish his image. Opportunistic. I don’t like that man.
Let’s see if he tries to give himself a fourth term. I miss Rudy!
