Someone moved an Astoria Blvd bus stop


From PIX11:

Neighbors knew something was wrong along Astoria Boulevard at 100th Street.

The bus stop for the Q19 and Q49 bus moved randomly down the block. Reports were made to the city.

Councilmember Julissa Ferreras lives in the area and represents the East Elmhurst district. She noticed the sign and that the nearby vacant lot had been cleared.

Neighbors also made 311 calls and the the NYC Department of Buildings issued violations for work being done without a permit, including creating a new curb entrance to the vacant lot.

Vehicles from a store across the street were seen parking there. The grocery chain did not comment on the work.

So a business slipped someone some $$$$ to allow their customers to gain some parking spots? Is that what this is about?

Is this a typical side effect of a vacant lot finally getting cleaned?

is there a victim?
the city moves stuff all around for no apparent reason
change street directions
take away parking spots
now they make money on the curb cut

So I suppose everyone who sees fit should rearrange a bus stop or commandeer a parking lot for their own profit. Seems reasonable... as long as you have an apparent reason. Makes perfect sense.

This was done purely to infuriate. Logic and consideration are not even an afterthought with the drones working for the city.
