There is no general manager here in Stuy Town/Peter Cooper Village. The position has been divided up. No wonder. These are photos I took the other day. The first few are the passages from one side of Stuy Town to the other. They are all on the 20th Street loop. These should be smooth for people with disabilities using walkers, canes, etc. I myself need a walker, and I've talked to people with those issues. These people find it harder to walk with the gouges, potholes and just sloppy work. Even people with shopping carts and baby strollers may have a problem. The last photo is from something that I was surprised to see: A "good neighbors" sign that addresses residents like children. Do we really need to be told what to do when we are sitting on a bench? (The sign is now gone, either from Beam or a resident.)
More 8/6: The new sign shown in the photos may be gone (temporarily), but other Beam Living "sit here and say hello to a neighbor" signs are appearing all over Stuy Town and Peter Cooper Village. Thank you, Beam and a certain resident, for telling us what we should do. We need instructions because we are stupid and don't know what a bench is for. Some of us may think that a bench can also be used for peace and quiet and a rest, but these are troublemakers. Ha, ha! As we know a bench "is built for conversation." Beam says so!
More 8/12: STR gets a letter from Stuy Town!.... I showed the road work that was done, some of which you will see in the photos I took. It was not at "Oval Office," but at the crosswalk there. I used the word "bullshit," talking about this work and how pathetic it is and the explanations given. Bullshit is not a word one hears in pleasant genteel company, but is used a lot in New York and elsewhere. Even Presidents of the United States have used that word! Please get people in charge who are New Yorkers or speak the lingo.
