On Tuesday, Council Member Joann Ariola announced that she has allocated close to $1 million dollars in the next two years\u2019 fiscal budgets to repave the road with NYC Parks.<\/p>\n<p>As with all the roads that go through New York\u2019s parks, NYC Parks is responsible for maintenance and upkeep of Forest Park Drive. The two snowstorms, which brought the largest snowfall to the city in the past two decades, and the sub-zero temperatures caused even more damage to the already bumpy road. Both Ariola and Assembly Member Jenifer Rajkumar have petitioned NYC Parks and NYC DOT to repair the road for some time now, citing complaints of dangerous driving due to its condition from constituents.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"meta-box read-more-box\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/qns.com\/2026\/03\/ariola-funding-repave-forest-park-drive\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n\t\tSee the full article at QNS &#13;<br \/>\n\t\tCM Ariola secures funding to repave Forest Park Drive &#13;\n\t<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; Forest Park Drive, which runs through south Queens\u2019 Forest Park, has plagued commuters with its pot holes&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83580,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,310,2606,2610,9,24,12,63,5434,129,131,130,29388],"class_list":{"0":"post-152724","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-the-bronx","8":"tag-bronx","9":"tag-daily-newsletter","10":"tag-glendale","11":"tag-neighborhoods","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-city","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-nyc","16":"tag-real-estate-newsletter","17":"tag-the-bronx","18":"tag-the-bronx-headlines","19":"tag-the-bronx-news","20":"tag-woodhaven"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152724","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=152724"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152724\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83580"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=152724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=152724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=152724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
