Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

Not sure what kind of roof would prevent snow/ice from falling. It has to go somewhere.
Yesterday I was on the Clearview about a quarter mile behind a tractor-trailer - it was like a snow storm, with snow and large chunks of ice flying off the top of the truck.
Cemusa should clean the roofs off when they dig out the bus stops. I don't recall this being an issue on the old shelters with the flat roofs.
You can also get hit by snow/ice walking under a tree, under a balcony, etc...
Just be careful!
Cemusa should also dig out the bus stops more quickly. I've been climbing mountains at my stop for days...
My daughter was standing under a shelter on Francis Lewis Blvd. the other day waiting for a bus.
Along came a snow plow and pushed snow and slush up into the shelter soaking her and two others and plowing them in with a two foot wall of frozen crap.
Don't you love the idiots from the sanitation department who are allowed to drive these plows?
Same thing happened to us as we were walking along the Jackson Heights 74th Street station along Roosevelt Avenue. We were crossing the street and my toddler was inches away from being smacked by huge chunks of snow!
Beats the guillotine. Any aristocrats that need execution? Oh, come, come, come...don't most politicians think they're lord of their districts? Off with their heads!
Huh? I think a slanted roof is exactly what you need in places where it snows. So tired of hearing people complain about the snow like it's a new thing. If you don't like it, move to Florida. There are plenty of New Yorkers there you can kvetch with.
If you're going to have a slanted roof then you need to protect people from what slides off it.
Anonymous #9: So what kind of roof design would you suggest that either doesn't collect snow or makes it go away?
If the shelter collects snow, it's not a problem until it melts, then it drips down the sides as water. If it's sloped, ice and snow can fall on people.
"kvetch"?
Well if that isnt the most useless hipster word ive ever heard...
Why dont YOU move back to Florida and stop gentrifying our neighborhoods and raising our rents? You would be doing us a huge favor.
"Kvetch"...I should punch you in the throat.
Kvetch = Yiddish
