There is no way to pull over so my only solution was to ride down the middle and hope no one would run me over. The only thing more terrifying is riding a bike thorough the tunnel on Park Avenue just south of Grand Central Station and hoping to make it out alive, something we used to do as kids late at night when traffic was lighter. This was long before brains were invented. Perhaps you could get a Sharpie and write your name and birth date on your arm like they tell people to do in hurricanes. Good luck and I hope to not see you in the papers.Giovannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061991537085810824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-80650421700488654722018-09-19T10:48:11.025-04:002018-09-19T10:48:11.025-04:00I ride my bike through this mess every day. It'...I ride my bike through this mess every day. It's extremely dangerous, but I don't have much of a choice. I'm putting this out there now so when I wind up in the hospital or dead, you guys can put this in the papers. Maybe it will help then. Good luck and Godspeed.<br /><br />GregAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395103573675446640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-14588512349757849592018-09-18T21:37:31.211-04:002018-09-18T21:37:31.211-04:00Between the construction of the condos that starte...Between the construction of the condos that started 4 years ago and this round the clock war zone, replete with 24/7 flood lights, cement truck-size air vacs, drills, and semi’s crashing over the metal street cover all night long, there is no quality of life worth living on 14th and A. Not to mention the cancer dust. And we have 3 years to go. My poor dog has a heart condition and I guarantee you this project will put her under. Not to kention how it is acrewing up my 7 and 5-year olds sleeping pattern. And for what ? To have a Target and a Burberry next door? boring. #stayedtoolateatthepartyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-26431691889441988532018-09-18T20:28:17.604-04:002018-09-18T20:28:17.604-04:00Let me give you an idea on how long this is really...Let me give you an idea on how long this is really going to take. Where I'm from in Queens, the Lefferts Blvd station upgrade took four and 3/4 years. This was started in spring 2013 and was finally completed last year in November and all they did was redesign the station, the stairs and added an elevator. There isn't even any goddamn wifi or even bland commissioned art at this station either. <br /><br />https://impunitycity.wordpress.com/category/lefferts-blvd/<br /><br />Now with the Canarsie Tunnel, who the fuck does the damn MTA think and especially that nice bloke Andy Byford think they are fooling? Especially since the way they have worked without warning and with reckless abandon. The tactics employed by the MTA and the contractors, you would think they took some pointers from Croman. <br /><br />Here's a prediction as Andy gets his little bugger aides to update the goddamn MTA website, this is going to take 5 to 6 years (I am being extremely kind). And they might not even get started in April considering that NOW they will have to assess the environmental hazards and the effects it will have on the neighborhood (which is already happening). <br /><br />Everything about this and every word they say is a lie. They expect the general public to be desensitized to it by now.<br /><br />Fuck the MTA. The worst fucking transit system in the universe.<br /><br />Another thing, Mario's son, who runs this shitshow, thinks he deserves your trust and your vote this November. Well, this stupid dick has no problem getting proactive and utilizing his power when it came to opening the 2nd ave line for his New Years Eve party and opening the new Tappan Zee bridge way too early to chaperone Manifest Failure Hillary over FDR's car. Maybe this swine can cruise over to 14th and 1st in that jalopy and try to get these contractors to hurry up (but first find a way to prevent toxic emissions from under).<br /><br />JQ LLChttps://impunitycity.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-62858166500454422942018-09-18T17:54:10.647-04:002018-09-18T17:54:10.647-04:00The AC units in those buildings are going to suck ...The AC units in those buildings are going to suck all that toxicity right inside.
