A step in the right direction: Repairs to Bay Ridge step street
It was a steep climb, but Bay Ridge elected officials said the New York City Department of Transportation has agreed to their request to repair a step street that had fallen into disrepair endangering pedestrians who regularly use the concrete staircase.
Councilman Vincent Gentile, state Sen. Marty Golden and Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis wrote a joint letter on June 9 to outgoing Brooklyn Transportation Joseph Palmieri requesting repairs to the 76th Street step street, a large staircase located on 76th Street between Ridge Boulevard and Colonial Road.
On Monday, Malliotakis said that Palmieri and his replacement, Acting Commissioner Keith Bray, informed her that the repairs would be made.
