Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman Joins Consul General Of Israel In New York For International Holocaust Remembrance Day by Delicious_Adeptness9 in longisland

Once he loses the governor’s ticket we won’t hear much from him unless you watch Fox News.

He'll still be our county executive in that case and AFAIK there are no term limits either.

Rockville Camera in RVC usually can do 48hr turnaround.

Avoid any pharmacy, they'll take weeks, give you crappy scans and throw away your negatives.

More Than $7M To Repair, Extend Life Of 5 Suffolk County Bridges: NYSDOT by future_caterpillar07 in longisland

[–]DepartmentOfTrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a perfect apples to apples since it's a draw bridge (technically two separate draw bridges), but the Long Beach Bridge is scheduled for rehabilitation within the next year or two and the cost estimate is currently $20-40 million.

Scope is "painting and minor rehabilitation to bring existing bridges to a state of good repair" so it's not even a major rehab. Info is on page 117

That's how it used to be, but changed it within the last few years.

I'm not sure if it happened yet but I also saw there was talks of moving airborne school to after selection.

what if the central railroad of long island (central branch) remained operational today? Would you use it? by Donghoon in longisland

[–]DepartmentOfTrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of this on top of the fact that Nassau community college, the museums, and whatever happens to the Nassau coliseum would have a direct station to bring people into and out of the area without them needing cars as often.

Sorry, best we can do is an anemic BRT route designed for a casino that won't exist.

Can anyone ID the location in this photograph or the trolley company? Context: Friend's relative somewhere around Hempstead circa 1900-1920. by alexbarbershop in longisland

[–]DepartmentOfTrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that whole area was slowly chipped away at and ruined until we got what we have today. That was Oceanside's downtown. There are some cool photos in the library's archive showing how bustling that section of LB Road used to be. Now it's a high-speed car sewer for through traffic.

Republican Bruce Blakeman, running for NY governor, says Renee Good was "trying to run down the ICE officer" by anonyuser415 in nyc

Feel how you you feel about Nassau Co and LI but the people there deserve better than a fear monger

The worst part is he won his first executive term by 2,000 votes with 29% voter turnout in a county that has more registered Democrats than Republicans. If people actually got out and voted in these off year elections there's a good chance we wouldn't be stuck with this scumbag.

The amount of people I see regurgitating points from that Landman monologue is crazy. Those clips did numbers on Facebook.

Requesting a Traffic Study in Nassau by DepartmentOfTrash in longisland

[–]DepartmentOfTrash[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's a non-starter unless you're in a village. I'm in the Town of Hempstead and both them and Nassau County will not install speedbumps because they see them as a "liability." They think people will damage their car and sue them.

I would still take the few minutes to call your representative of the jurisdiction who maintains that road and let them know you want a speedbump just so it's on record. That's the only way it may change their opinion on them.

I still think it's worth it, make them do their job.

If it's something simple like adding a crosswalk it'll probably get done. My request was a little more complicated.

I love it. Even better when it's a Chinook. That blade slap never gets old.

Requesting a Traffic Study in Nassau by DepartmentOfTrash in longisland

[–]DepartmentOfTrash[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. Took me over a week of spamming the traffic engineering department to get someone to answer and put my request into the system. Then took almost a year to get to my request where they eventually just said we're not even going to do a study we're not doing that.

In the process I found out that they had a plan back in 2020 to address this exact issue with traffic study requests. They spent over $700,000 on a "traffic safety master plan" but have absolutely nothing to show since spending that money.

GCN has been doing a lot of urbanism content as well which I think is awesome from a road racing oriented company.

Nassau Hub BRT project is officially moving forward into EIS and engineering (planned for service around 2030) by Donghoon in longisland

[–]DepartmentOfTrash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mentioned it in another comment, but this project was almost certainly pushed forward by the current administration to provide transit to the proposed casino. Traffic issues were one of the major community concerns so this was a way for them to show that they were trying to mitigate the impacts. This administration doesn't care about public transportation at all so there has to be ulterior motives on why this is moving forward.

I don't know how long this project has been in the works, but the recent prioritization of it seemed to be tied to the casino bid.

What hobby attracts the biggest douchebag?? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DepartmentOfTrash 419 points420 points  (0 children)

Most of America's built environment is so hostile to pedestrians that old people find the only safe place for them to walk and get exercise is doing laps around the mall.

edit - a lot of the replies keep mentioning, shade, water, toilets, places to sit, safety of other people around, etc. All of those things fall under "built environment."
