The digital sign for the east-bound M34 bus stop on the South side of 34th street at 10th avenue is broken. It is the sign that tells commuters how many minutes until the next bus arrives. It is extremely helpful because it determines if I walk a few avenues over to find a different way home. It is not a corner I feel comfortable standing on alone at night.

Every winter, especially on the coldest days and when the season commences, we are not sure if we will wake up to heat or hot water. Many days we have had to forfeit a shower and had to use space heaters (causing our electric bill to surge). Since we have no super in our building and management refuses to give us his phone number, we are just at the whim of any given day. The super blames the restaurant below us, accusing them of turning off the switch but somehow they never rectify this situation. The boiler has been "repaired" repeatedly but never seems to work. So far this week we have had no heat or hot water on 2 different days and nights. Since it's the weekend and the management office is closed we are hosed!

The red light running and speeding is dangerous to employees and residents. how about a red light enforcement camera?

other nearby streets have good examples. this street is very wide, which encourages speeding thru the neighborhood well in excess of the posted limit.

The MTA is creating a huge hazard on 10th Avenue. They have cordoned off the east sidewalk entirely for equipment to build the subway extension. However, this neighborhood has nightly Art receptions. Patrons are forced to walk north on the street itself--facing traffic at night--in order to get from 25th to 26th st. Many of these pedestrians are coming from a gallery where alcohol was served. It's only a matter of time before there's a fatality. Most egregious is that it's clearly visible that the space cordoned off is not being used at all.
The MTA has a responsibility to provide safe passage on the east side of 10th Avenue from 25th to 26th Street
