Bond Street Cobblestones To Be Restored in 2008

The city will begin restoring the cobblestones on Bond Street in Manhattan starting next spring, a spokesman for the Department of Transportation, Chris Gilbride, said. The department has recently completed jobs on Greene, Vestry, and Wooster streets, and is at work on part of Franklin Street. For years the department restored cobblestone streets by adding patches of asphalt, but a new program was created to restore the streets to their historic look, he said.
