2nd Avenue sinkhole alert



There is a sinkhole in the works on Second Avenue between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place (thanks to Chris Rowland for the photo!)... right in the bike lane (perhaps this is why the city still has't repainted the bike path after the milling and paving earlier last month?)

Be mindful if you are walking, riding, stomping or using the LinkNYC kiosk right there.

Salim points out a companion sinkhole on First Avenue between Sixth Street and Seventh Street...

Hmmm...will the city or Midtown building developers swallow the village first?

So that’s the safe place LinkNYC stores people’s data!

There is also a big one on 2nd Street near the fire station that is getting worse every time the fire trucks drive over it...

Perhaps the Universe has opened a portal to hell for Crusties who gather at that spot regularly.

Sure wish they'd paint the bike lane back...that block is a traffic hazard

What's going on with the sidewalk on 2nd Avenue between 6th and 7th Streets close to Middle Collegiate ? The area around the manhole is elevated and it looks like it will explode? Does anybody know?

Haha ! The First Ave sinkhole happened soon after the road was
paved.

Actually the one on 1st ave was starting to materialize, then the road paving crew just filled the top in knowing full well it'll need repaving a few weeks later...

YOU CAN PUT YOUR WEED IN IT

Don't worry, they will fix it, paint it and then some contractor will show up to dig up the same area.
