KINGSTON – The major sewer and stormwater system construction project on Flatbush and Foxhall Avenues in Kingston is beginning.
“The first step in the Flatbush and Foxhall streetscape project is to make extensive repairs to the sewer and stormwater system below the streets,” said Mayor Steven Noble. “Before construction can begin, we need to make these necessary infrastructure repairs. We know this work will be disruptive, so we want residents to understand the extent and duration of this project, which is expected to take two full constructions season to complete.”
The project area for the sewer and stormwater work includes Flatbush Avenue from the railroad tracks to Foxhall Avenue and Foxhall Avenue from Flatbush to Broadway.
Parking restrictions and road closures will be in place throughout construction. Starting Monday, June 1, there will be No Parking on the east side Foxhall Avenue between Hasbrouck and Wynkoop from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. until June 12.
The sewer work is expected to take two years to complete with construction beginning on the Safe and Accessible Flatbush & Foxhall streetscape project in 2028.
The city contracted GPI for design work, which can be found at and Merritt Construction of Saugerties for the sewer construction work.
The total sewer/stormwater construction project cost is: $7.76 million, including $1.86 million for the design work and $5.9 million for construction.
City officials said the Safe and Accessible Flatbush and Foxhall Project will add and improve pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure to connect the Colonial Gardens Apartments and residential streets in Midtown to surrounding business districts.
The streets in the project area currently have intermittent sidewalks and cross railroads that are hazardous for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists. Approximately two miles of sidewalks will be built and painted crosswalks with ADA-compliant curb ramps will be installed.
The city will also work with CSX to improve safety for all users at the two railroad crossings situated on the route. Bicycle infrastructure will be added along both avenues, connecting to other infrastructure projects, including the Empire State Trail and the Kingston Greenline.
Public engagement opportunities for the Safe and Accessible Flatbush & Foxhall Project will be announced in the coming months. More information about the Safe and Accessible Flatbush & Foxhall Project at .
