Rockaway Beach Boulevard is getting some much-needed infrastructure upgrades. On Wednesday, December 12, the NYC DDC, DOT, DEP and Councilman Donovan Richards broke ground on a $24.2 infrastructure project that will bring improvements to streets, fire protection, water mains and sewers in the area of Rockaway Beach Boulevard from Beach 49th to Beach 59th streets. The project is scheduled to be completed by summer 2021.
