When you drive by the school you can’t help but see their state-of-the-art building that houses the Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing Department. The chairman of the department, Professor Catherine Sikora, helped design and build a machine that makes Oreo cookies.

I’ve gotten a few calls from neighbors asking about orange cones, lane rerouting and the street repairs being done on Cicero Avenue between 67th and 71st streets. People want to know what exactly is going on. This has been going on for quite some time and has made the already trafficky street even more challenging to navigate. A new bridge overlay with joint replacement and structural steel repairs is being done. Expected completion is November 2023.
