Across 118th Street

 

 Impunity City

 This scene takes place in South Richmond Hill on 118th Street and 103 Ave.

In the middle of the road yeah. 

 

 

 

All signs indicate that current mayor de Blasio’s Department of Transportation, which is run by one of his Brooklyn aristocrat city planning buddies Hank Gutman, did a major less than half ass job laying the blacktop on this. Because this is what it looked like a week before some creative type did a near approximation of Homer Simpson’s rage motivated contemporary art piece.

Truly a WTF FUBAR in process.

  

Although this is another embarrassingly abominable display of city neglect and incompetence and another example of the city infrastructure dilapidation, this will eventually be remedied with a better and hopefully more thorough renovation, because this evolving crater is not to first to infect 103rd Ave. For their were similar former and potential cave-ins discovered on numerous blocks west from this current blight.

Ozone Park Patch



Image

A week ago, I photographed a massive cave-in on the intersection of Liberty Ave. and 96th St. and wrote a post on it called Holes in the Ozone. It got the attention of Queens Patch's twitter account and they retweeted my initial tweet about this road hazard to Polly's D.O.T. Well color me impressed when I went back a week later and see it fixed.

 Looks like someone left, actually lodged a Capri Sun juice bag here for some reason.

 Let's see what we find..

 Shame on you. D.O.T., even drivers are afraid to go over it.

Apparently, this pathetic Ozone Park Patch job is an established norm. Because this is what I found a block east on 97th.

 Your city would prefer vehicle owners to get adjusted to this. Because the Mayor has a Black Lives Matter mural by Trump Tower to protect from getting splattered with paint. 

Shame! from ithinkchaos on Vimeo.

Holes in the Ozone

Impunity City


 It was about a year ago that I wrote a post called Affixing A Hole, observing and photographing grotesque cracks and craters on the streets and storm drains and the innovation that gets implemented by the city’s Department’s of Transportation and Environmental Preservation to deter people away from the hazards. Now it’s 2020 and it looks like shit hasn’t changed a bit.
