An Open Letter to Corey Johnson

Web Admin 04/02/2019     Briefly Noted, Letters

Corey, greetings

Great news to know you’re going to be ‘getting us moving’ so to speak!

And as long as you’re looking at future plans, may I put in a word on behalf of the ‘senior riders’:

Do you think we could get the bus shelters back? For instance, there used to be one here on the #14 route at Union Square—a busy stop—but it was removed some time ago.*

So now, because the 14As to Abingdon Square are so few and far between, the solution for the A rider is to take a 14D to 8th Avenue and 14th Street, where they can sit and wait in the last remaining shelter…for an eventual 14A!

On this particularly cold March day, however, there was no bus at all for nearly half an hour! (But that gets us into another familiar problem with the #14!!)

Thank you for listening—and for all you’re doing for NYC.

—Maggie B

*Because, we were told, of a tendency for the homeless to settle in them. But would have thought a different design might manage to discourage permanent residency!
