Today, at an event organized by KRVC, the South Riverdale Avenue Merchants Association celebrated the Street Beautification program funded by Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz. The program covers approximately 40 tree pits that span the commercial areas located on South Riverdale and Johnson Avenues. The streets are transformed, with the plantings and rod iron guards that adorn the pits, into far more attractive shopping areas than those without street beautification programs. The extensive street beautification work is done by local vendors and overseen by KRVC. The plantings are maintained by John McKeon of Botany Bay and the tree guards are maintained by John Bindela of Jasper’s Pizza and Bindela Construction Corp.
