June 12, 2013 Staff Report

The re-opening of Lou Lodati Park has been rescheduled for June 22nd.

The delay is the result of inclement weather over the past week. According to the Parks Department, the contractor has struggled to paint the surface of the park due to rain.

The contractor needs several straight days of dry, warm weather.

Rick Duro, the head of the Sunnyside United Dog Society, was unfazed by the delay: “We’ve waited over a decade, no biggie!”

The park had been scheduled to re-open on June 15.

It’s been so quiet on here lately, let’s not stir it all up again!

Let’s just agree that we disagree and leave it @ that:)

I agree w/ PG, adding some benches along the fences near the girls softball diamond would be nice. Also, some signage explaining that the green spaces are off limits to man and beast alike.

Reuben, maybe you can help us work with these folks to keep the park clean? You can be a SUDS liaison:)

Cheers,

Rick

They should put in bleachers or some old school benches by the baseball field and by the basketball courts

As long as the delay is not up for next year, I’m sure we can wait until Saturday, June 22, 2013 for the re-opening of Lou Lodati Park. After all, the weather might improve next weekend for a change.

There’s more rain in the forecast for the next few days. The delay will be more than a week I think.

A Brooklyn man was indicted by a Queens grand jury on charges of manslaughter, drunk driving and other crimes for a fatal collision in Astoria that killed his long-time girlfriend and mother of their young child in February.

Ray Perez, 27, of Caton Avenue in Flatbush, was arraigned Thursday in Queens Supreme Court on a 13-count indictment charging him with vehicular manslaughter for allegedly speeding through a stop sign in Astoria, colliding with another vehicle and slamming into two parked cars, and then driving nearly four miles away to a street in Maspeth before seeking help for his 29-year-old girlfriend Bridget Enriquez, who later succumbed to her injuries.
