Q for @nyc311. Is @NYC_DOT or @MTA @NYCTBus responsible for countdown clocks atop wayfinding signage? This one at Rogers & Empire in BK has been broken for at least 3 years. Can we get a legit fix yet? Even an attempt? It’s across from office of @NYAMCunningham. @StreetsblogNYC

Similarly, who is responsible for this overgrowth? It is never tended too by @MTA. Is it business next door? @Bklyn_CB9… does Parks committee handle?

Mulberry tree in my neighbor’s yard dropped tons in back of my building. @NYCSanitation, if I have multiple bags of berries & leaves that won’t fit in a compost bin, can I leave them out on collection day next to the brown bin or do I need to make a special pick up appt? @jshgdmn

Really annoying when a commercial vehicle that consistently parks illegally on a residential street ALSO takes down entire branches. Sorry @TreesNewYork.

Eager to hear from @nypd71pct. This truck has no plates or registration on Lincoln Road just west of Nostrand. It’s been in the vicinity on and off again for the last year.

Is there legislation already mandating trees on private property do not block @NYC_DOT pedestrian signals? If not, who will introduce it!? @CMRitaJoseph, this is at Rogers & Maple. @nyc311 is there a category for this already?

Viewing panels legally must be between 3 & 6 feet from the ground... but I've never seen one lower than 5 feet. If @NYC_Buildings incentivized some at the lower height, NYC kids would be delighted. @AhmedTigani54 @NYCMayor nyc.gov/site/buildings/dob/p…

I couldn’t attend the TA gala but did watch a bunch of harassment videos by the protesters outside. @bfurnas deserves a medal for composure & endless respect for staying focused on the bigger picture - truly safer streets for all. Keep up the great work Ben.

.@prospect_park is just 2 blocks away from @BetterBedfordAv here, but not even mentioned in #bikenyc signage. Bway junction is a 3.5 mile/ 20 min ride! Would be great for @NYC_DOT to adopt @Bklyn_CB9's request & add protected lanes to Empire Blvd @StreetsblogNYC @eanorv

If #bikenyc riders want these small but significant connections made, they ought to sign the @TransAlt petition for it covering some of the gaps in Brooklyn. act.transalt.org/a/connected… @TransAltBK @BKBPReynoso @CMCrystalHudson @CMRitaJoseph

Are there any rules by @NYC_Buildings that require #bikenyc racks on nearby sidewalks when it has X amount of units? Seems like @NYC_DOT could help many people by standardizing racks on wide sidewalks near 6 story apt buildings & avoid cluttered gates like this. @AhmedTigani54

Last administration missed a HUGE opportunity to upgrade #bikenyc infrastructure in Red Hook when it redid ballfields along Bay st. Hope this @NYC_DOT improves the wide street next to pools & playgrounds so my 7 year old doesn’t have to ride w/ meager sharrows. @CMAlexaAviles

Was this ever in discussion @BrooklynCB6? If not, could it be? Feels like something @NY4P would also rally behind. Current bike markings to the Ikea waterfront are certainly not up to code. This is not how a detour for a conventional bike lane should look. @nyc311

I’m guessing these were all part of evidence from something but what a bummer that @NYPDnews was able to fill an entire dumpster with #bikenyc frames & parts, including an electric @CitiBikeNYC without being able to salvage any of it for parts etc it seems.

Q for @nyc311. Why is ‘blocking bus stop’ not a category for illegal parking? I used ‘posted rules’ for now but @nypd71pct closed it w/o citation. @NYCTBus how do we help B12 reach its curb stop since enforcement cameras can’t see these plates? @Bklyn_CB9 @eanorv @NYAMCunningham

Q for 311. Is @NYC_DOT the right agency to replace this long missing cover on the lamppost here? Lefferts & Rogers in BK. @Bklyn_CB9 @eanorv
