Description
The bus stop is unpaved. The landlord was required by the City to pave the required footage from his property line to the street. The City now must pave the remaining three feet from the paved sidewalk to the the street curb. When boarding a bus at this stop riders must walk through up to 10 inches of mud, dirt, ice and snow to board buses. This location also does not meet the required accessibility guidelines for disable riders. The conditions at this stop would never exist at a Manhattan bus stops.

The bus stop has not been fixed. I was told that the city will give the property owner a violation to repair the remainder of the sidewalk in front of the bus stop. I was also told, by a representative of Marty Markowitz's Offce that if the balance of the repair must be done by NYC...it will be done "later" this year. When I exrssed that this resonse wasdisappointing, thta I'd reported this problem more than two years ago, I was sharply told that I had just reported the problem to them and they'd done all they can do at this point. Further , they would get back to me when they received further information from NYC.
Perhaps if representatives of Mr. Markowitz's Office had to walk through this mess or risk bodily injury to board buses, this condition would never have existed.
the response would have been less bureaucratic.

One year and 8 months later the sidewalk has not been repaired! When I sent the first request the Landlord had already installed an new sidewalk adjacent to his property line extending the required feet towards the street. It's now NYC's responsibility to install a sidewalk the remaining 4 feet to the street.
This unacceptable!
