Email to the mayor this morning....

The streets of New York are in terrible condition and dangerous. Two example one by the 9th Precinct 5th Street between 3rd and 2nd Avenue and the street in front of Ladder 9 which is Great Jones Street between the Bowery Lafayette. These are just two examples. Mayor Bloomberg pushed a way too rapid tsunami of community crushing development on a delipidated infrastructure and I continue to worry for the safety of New Yorkers. Example he and Amanda Burdens reckless green light to Cooper Union supersizing by delipidated subway stations at Astor place. They are allowing Cooper Union to exploit their status as not for profit to supersize by Astor Place twice -- first the supersized mirrored building and now tearing down the Science building both having nothing to do with higher education. Welcome to Mike Bloombergs New York City.
