Issue # 175

AFTER YEARS OF BEGGING RIOC TO ASK BIKE NEW YORK TO CLEAN OR REMOVE THIS UNSIGHTLY CONTAINER FROM UNDER THE HELIX. RIOC PAINTED IT AND CLEANED THE SURROUNDING AREA TODAY!!!!

FLOWERING BLOOMS IN PLANTERS IN BLACKWELL PARK
AND MANY THER SITES. A DEFINITE PLUS FOR OUR PUBLIC AREAS.

THE WIDENED SIDEWALK AND NEW OPEN VISTA TO THE RIVER ALONG THE WEST ROADWAY

STILL  SOME PROJECTS THAT NEED WORK

RIOC HAS REPAINTED THE EXTERIOR OF BUS #8 AND #9.  THEY ARE BUS #160 AND #161.  WHY, THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION.

THE INTERIOR FLOORS ARE STILL DIRTY AND THE SITE OF THIS SEAT WHEN TURNED UP IS DISGUSTING.

TIME TO CONCENTRATE ON THE OLD FLOORS GUYS!!

THIS BUS TURN AROUND HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR YEARS., IS IT DEFECTIVE OR NOT?  IT COULD BE USED FOR CARS WISHING TO MAKE A U TURN WITHOUT GOING THRU RIVER ROAD.

THE FILTHY DIRTY CONDITION OF MOTORGATE WINDOWS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

ANY NEWS ON PUTTING THE “F” TRAIN SYMBOL AT OUR SUBWAY STATION, OR THE MTA JUST LOVES TO CONFUSE RIDERS?
