Asphalt bungle: Rough walkway still a hazard near Tompkins Square Park field House

Photos Saturday by Steven 

It appears workers have finished repaving the area around the renovated (and still closed) Tompkins Square Park field house. 

Workers started the job on Wednesday, and one crew member said it would take two weeks to complete. (Two weeks usually means eight weeks.)
The new asphalt only extends the length of the field house and the area near the ping-pong table...
As these photos from yesterday show, the pocked pavement along the Ninth Street walkway — on both sides of the field house — remains unchanged. It's treacherous terrain for anyone with mobility issues and a long-overdue improvement that would benefit all parkgoers.

    The Parks Department stated at the start of this job that they had funding to repave the entire path from Ave A to B — and were looking at repaving the entire park which is equally filled with potholes and trip hazards

    That’s what I thought I heard, from A to B. Who would we ask about this at Parks Dept?
