Micheal Feiner, President of the Bayside Hills Civic Association is waging a one-man campaign to restore, repair and replace the street signs in the Bayside Hills area.
According to Feiner, the signs in the Bayside Hills area are in extremely poor condition. “In some cases they are completely faded, turned in the wrong direction, bent, or dangling precariously,” he said.
Although the Bayside Hills neighborhood, which encompasses the area from 48th Avenue to the north, the Long Island Expressway to the South, and is bounded east and west by 216th Street and 56th Avenue, is one of the best maintained in the city, it appears to have been neglected on this regard.
With the support of Community Board 11, he has written to the Department of Transportation (DOT) and Congressmember Anthony Weiner.
In an anonymous reply from the DOT, Feiner was told that, “The Queens Borough Commissioner Maura McCarthy will work with the appropriate operational group to ensure that this matter is addressed properly.”
