Recently I had to deal with an abandoned car, and had another instance of NYC and the NYPD just ignoring the problems in front of them, since it was easier to make believe it didn’t exist. Someone parked an out-of-state car on my block, with its bumper thrown in the back seat, and left it …
NYC has gotten out of hand in recent years, with a visible increase in the homeless on the streets, and parking violations being ignored. Today I want to focus on those parking violations, and how the NYPD is either turning a blind eye or just flat out not patrolling and cracking down on the seemingly “minor …
I’m so tired of the NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) coming up with excuses for everything. Now I don’t really blame them for this, I think the garbage truly flows downhill, but let’s look at two pressing issues facing the city right now, snow removal and garbage backup. Let’s look first at that garbage removal, …
One of my favorite parts of driving in San Diego was the traffic patterns and the way their traffic lights flow. If NYC could implement some of these it would make driving just a tad easier in a city full of crazy TLC drivers. Traffic lights that change for traffic – Between sensors in the …
Dear NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio, This idea of charging some New Yorkers more money on taxes in exchange for the low income getting half-priced fares is just unfair. We are all stuck in this over-congested city, suffering from the same terrible subway service, and it just isn’t fair that some people should pay less for …
Remember those days when it would snow one to two feet, and the city would shut down for a day or two, yet when it reopened cars could drive around and people could cross streets. Yet this week it snowed a whopping 7.6″ in Central Park, and the city shut down the subways for a …
Hurricane Sandy hit the NY Aquarium hard. Located right along the water they had a lot of their exhibits flooded, buildings destroyed, and underground passages devastated. Because of that they couldn’t justify their $20 admission anymore and had to drop down to $13. All this on top of a $13 parking cost. But even that …
May 17, 2014 I started to write a post about new turn rules that I thought needed to get implemented on Ocean Parkway. I got lazy and never finished it since I wanted to add in diagrams explaining what I wanted, yet I referenced it in 2015…but now, almost three years later they’ve actually put …
It all started in 1916, and 101 years later the 2nd Avenue subway has finally begun to open. The Q train has been extended up from 57th Street, and while its ultimate Northern goal is 125th Street (that’s a Phase Two problem), Phase One has created a subway line that runs up 2nd Avenue from …
There is a former Fine Fare Supermarket near my house, that had allocated to it 4 parking spots just for “No Standing, Trucks Unloading 7AM-7PM”. But with the store closing 2+ years ago, these spaces, in a semi-commercial neighborhood, were going to waste. Other stores in the neighborhood were using it for their deliveries, even …
