Flashing lights for weeks on NYC thoroughfare spark outrage from locals over city’s slow fix: ‘We all deserve better’

These strobing lights are no party for locals. Constant flashing from city-operated street lights in Queens have distracted drivers and irked nearby residents for weeks – and was only fixed after a social media post exposed the issue, The Post has learned. Complaints about the strobing lights on the Rockaway Beach Boardwalk along the Shore Front Parkway date back to at least Dec. 29 — but the flashing only stopped Sunday night thanks to “temporary repairs” from the Department of Transportation.
