First ride on the new Main St PBL. It was nice. Will be more useful for me when the City tackles Mass Ave through Central Square though.

For the past few years, it looked like Queens would get a linear park, instead of badly-needed mass transit.
But now a project that would bring a new subway line & a park to Queens just got a lifeline—and may have a champion in the next mayor of New York City.

Asphalt and concrete are two different materials.
They require different types of construction efforts.
Completely different set up/preparation requirements.
Forming for concrete would require complete removal of adjoining road base materials for room to work.
Curbs are laid days/weeks prior.
