Yes, but if 20 story hotels in that bastard child of City Planning, Dutch Kills, doesn't seem to bother him, indeed, those are things he finds compelling, what the hell is the issue with a few bumps in the road?
Oh just stop. There are bigger things wrong in this city to bitch about. Pick your hill to die on, and make it worth it. This isn't one of those things.
"How did it get like this?"..."Most people don't really care how it happened..." what fantastic reporting. And it's such a serious problem that the reporter laughed when someone almost tripped on it.
"All they had to do was smooth it out" This lady thinks they paved it that way.
The road gets like that from too much heavy traffic on hot sunny days when the asphalt gets soft and the roadbed is also soft. There are plenty of other major roadways that have this problem. Linden Blvd comes to mind. A heavily trafficked roadway like QB should be reinforced concrete, not asphalt. They can repave that section of street, and in a couple of years they will likely have the same problem.

Don't laugh - these are the people that elected you so you have to take the good with the bad.

Like why Ecadorian Independence Day is such a big deal, and we should go apeshit over the treatment of transgendered Pacific Islanders and look the other way when daylaborers make our community a slum -
but look blank when someone poses a question on the relation between infrastructure and development, or just nod vacantly when someone asks about that 20 story human warehouse in my backyard?
That is why many bus stops are made of concrete. This issue occurs at many bus stops where there is no concrete bus pad. The solution to this would be putting concrete down instead of repaving it with asphalt (which the rocket scientists at DOT will do and the problem will come back in 3 years.

Jimmy, you ever think of giving Monica a tumble? Just maybe the slightest "urge"?

You are spending too much time with your developer friends in the wild west and not enough time in the real world.
This is ten blocks from your office and your home!

Call them 'decorative sidewalks' and move on.

Ya mean how the library can spend $30 million on a small out of the way facility while not buying books for the year?

Not sure about books, but the library is still buying new DVD's this year.

Again, yes.

As far as I am aware, I am not a public official; no one elected me.
Have you ever been splashed by the bus you have been waiting for? Bus curbs should have a gutter, like in Nassau.
First things first.
Since the developers get all the money that should go into hospitals, schools, et al do you think that bus curbs even make the radar.
Besides, none of the City Planning folk or the mandrins of EDC live in places like that so who cares what happens to the little people?
All they need to do is turn the same politicans into office and the rest sort of falls into place.
And they do what they are supposed to.
Do they still even have buses in Nassau?

First useful thing I ever learned on this site. #winning
A very small % of buses have concrete bus stops, besides, this takes away the MTA's ability to change bus service and the location of bus stops.
This asphalt thing does not happen overnight. It takes years for the problem to emerge.
The problem in Queens is that the resources are misallocated - skewed to new development while everything else is permitted to run down.
And yes, since elections are only a hollow ritual, nothing will change.
Even Honest Joe Crowley refuses to raise his family in this dump, and no stink - its all right with all of you.
You are right. This site is soooo educational.
60th Street & Queens Blvd is Woodside.
