While the rest of us are slogging through the seemingly endless dog days of summer, City Councilwoman Joann Ariola (R-Ozone Park) has been busy responding to constituent concerns.
After fielding phone calls from area residents regarding wildly overgrown shrubbery populating Woodhaven Boulevard medians, Ariola said she immediately reached out to the City Sanitation Department. DSNY crews were dispatched last week to address the unruly weeds (pictures).
“We couldn’t let that stand,” Ariola added.
This week, constituents contacted the councilwoman to alert her to yet another growing problem on Woodhaven Boulevard: graffiti. Ariola noted that her office “wasted no time” in calling the Queens Economic Development Corporation, which sent out staff members to quickly paint over the street scrawl.
“If you see graffiti please contact our office at (718) 738-1083 and we will get it handled,” Ariola tweeted Tuesday.
