Capobianco Field Retaining Wall Reconstruction Completed - Red Bus Stop Adjacent To Crosswalk Opposite Westview Entrance Tomorrow

 Image of Capobianca Field Sidewalk Opposite Westview

A reader asks:
When work on the retaining wall around Capobianca Park blocked the sidewalk and street, a stop on the red bus was moved from opposite the entry at 625 Main Street to somewhere between the P.S. 217 and Gristede's. The work has been completed and the sidewalk and street are no longer blocked, but the bus continues to stop in the middle of nowhere. It should revert to the previous location, nearly opposite the 625 door, which is the entry to both 625 and 595 Main Street.
I asked Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) Vice President Of Operations Fernando Martinez to comment. Mr. Martinez replied:
We recently received confirmation from our Engineering Department that work on the retaining wall has been completed.

The bus stop will be relocated to approximately 15 feet north of the original stop location.  The decision was made to re-locate the stop to coincide with the crosswalk adjacent to 625 Main Streets entrance for safety reasons.  We expect that improved proximity will encourage use of the crosswalk.

The bus stop is scheduled to be installed on Tuesday, January 10th.

walls are very dangerous specially when calamity comes, so we need to make sure that our walls cannot be easily flooded out..

Retaining walls are often built as something that is pleasing to the eye; whether constructed to provide a tiered effect, or showcase specific types of plants, retaining walls can offer low maintenance on a difficult slope or landscape. retaining walls
