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.

any update from @NYPDnews on this? Box truck on residential street, unmoved for over a week, no plates, no registration, and has damaged a @NYCParks tree. Same truck has done this on this block before too.

This misaligned jersey barrier needs fixing b4 some #bikenyc rider is hurt. Been like this for months, maybe even years? Missing a solid foot of safety. Not sure if anyone else reported to @NYC_DOT, but @nyc311 I'd love the help doing so now since this pic was this weekend.

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
