A call to permanently drain Lake Astor Place



You've likely noticed the draining issues on Astor Place after any rain or snowfall ... specifically on the sidewalk adjacent to Jerry's Newsstand and the entrance to the downtown 6 ...



The lake (pond?) has made it to SeeClickFix, the website where residents can report problems in their communities using an app and connect with neighbors and local governments to get them fixed. (I never heard of SeeClickFix until a reader prompted me to it the other day.)

In any event, per the person who posted the complaint on Saturday:

"That area has high foot traffic and is difficult to navigate around the flood without dangerously stepping into the road."

Michael Bloomturd wants to hide cigarettes and ban Big Gulps. He does not give a rat's ass about lakes. I am guessing the complainants will be S.O.L. in their quest.
