Astoria residents are really at a disadvantage if we lose this lifeline into Manhattan. I use this bus on the many weekends - like the Memorial Day weekend coming up - when the N doesn’t go into the city. We’re getting short shrift here again.
Please join the effort to save our direct bus route to Manhattan! By signing the petition, we can ensure that seniors and disabled individuals continue to have easy access to the city, without being forced to take multiple buses.
Hello, I live 2 blocks away from Central where the light rail construction occurs, I didnt want it down here, I worked at the Phoenix Art Museum when the first section was put in and knew the impact it would have on the traffic/businesses, but it has been so much worse than thought with the amount of dirt in the air has increased, the migration of mice, scorpions, and noise and delays and issues with leaving my neighborhood to go to work, it has been stressful and has prolonged my commute to work and coming home. This has not been a beneficial use of recourses for S. Phoenix residents, we have seen lots of colures to medical buildings, which is crucial for any community and the traffic makes it harder for pedestrians to walk and cross safely, I hope this ends soon and do not extend onto Baseline !
