For some reasons beyond the residents and the commuters of 1st Avenue 68th Street, recently bus stop relocated to one block South to 67th Street.
This new location is very inconvenient for many reasons like there is no way to put a bus stop/shelter in this location. So we are using the Laurel building's (East block) entrance canopy in rainy days. It is a high-rise residential building and this situation crates big hassle for them and for us. This shelter-canopy is also 100' far from the bus stop.
So bus waiting until people reach the bus from the shelter and from the other side of the 67th street. MTA should monitor this immense delays on the bus service.
Transfer from the 1st ave bus to cross-town bus is start to be dangerous too. If the bus waiting on the stop, many people doesn't care about the traffic lights and running cross 1st ave and or 67th street.
Also people from the hospital (s) should wait and cross the 67th street to reach the bus stop. It is very big hassle especially people using wheel chairs, which is very-very common here.
Plus, these new "beeping buses" makes crazy both east and west side residents. There are no residential facilities at 68th (previous location) street block. (office building at the east and a park at the west) Please consider that this stop for both limited and local bus stop and we have also cross-town bus stop at 1st and 67th street NW corner. Time to time 3-4 buses beeping at the same time, it is a big noise pollution too.
Please correct this mistake as soon as possible. We want our bus stop back to good ol' place at 68th Street. Thank you.
