Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Losquadro, Councilwoman Bo Brookhaven Town Highway Superintendent Daniel P. Losquadro and Councilwoman Jane Bonner have announced the resurfacing of Hawkins Path from Hawkins Road to County Road 83, as well as Hawkins Road from North Bicycle Path in Selden to Hawkins Path in Centereach.

Prior to paving, crews replaced approximately 3,700 linear feet of curb, nearly 300 square feet of concrete sidewalk and approximately 4,000 square feet of aprons, in addition to installing ADA-compliant handicap ramps, at a cost of approximately $290,000.

The milling and paving cost for this project was $380,000; the total cost for this paving project was $670,000. “Hawkins Road is a main artery in Brookhaven Town, crossing two council districts and serving as a main access point for teachers, students and staff attending Stagecoach Elementary School,” said Superintendent Daniel Losquadro. “It is now safer and smoother for all motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians.”

Councilwoman Bonner said, “Resurfacing Hawkins Path and Hawkins Road makes travel so much safer for everyone. Fall is a busy time for the men and women of the Highway Department, but the residents of Brookhaven Town can rest assured that infrastructure improvements are a year-round priority for Superintendent Losquadro.”

On September 20, Councilwoman Jane Bonner (sixth from left) was at the 7-Eleven, located at 33 Middle Country Road in Coram where she met with Suffolk County Police officers and COPE Officers from the 6th Precinct for “Coffee with a Cop.” Councilwoman Bonner was joined by NYS Assemblyman Ed Flood (sixth from right) and Suffolk County Legislator Nick Caracappa (seventh from right).

The objective of “Coffee with a Cop” is for police officers to interact with the residents who they serve each day and discuss local issues in their community. As the officers and the residents get to know each other better, they become more comfortable, creating the opportunity for real conversations about issues that matter.

Councilwoman Bonner said, “Coffee with a Cop is a great opportunity for law enforcement to touch base with Brookhaven Town residents It’s also a good time for people to say “thank you” to the men and women who protect and serve us every single day. “
