hypodermic needles on steps leading up from playground at 116th Street.

I wanted to address the issue on the stairs going up on 116th street between the avenue and drive. The water leak is a danger for patrons of the park. The puddles foster more mosquitos, but also threaten the safety of indivduals walking through the park because ice forms when temperature drops. Moreover, the water causes erosion and deformation of all the stairs therefore causing harmful risk for people, especially elderly, to trip or fall from these structural changes.

During the winter, walking can be a problem due to the lack of salt dispersion around the midlevel areas of the park. (i.e. 116th to 114th path way)

Hello,
I'm currently writing an article on the state of Morningside Park, and I would really like some direct quotes from people being affected by the lack of maintenance/upkeep. If anyone would like to provide a few quotes over this issue, please feel free to email me at mmcnult@journalism.cuny.edu. I appreciate anyone who would like to get involved. Thank you,
Matt McNulty

I agree with the original post concerning the bathrooms. The restroom facilities are in need of additional care.
