76th Street Staircase gets facelift
One small step for DOT, one large step for the 76th Street Staircase.
“It is extremely important that we keep our neighborhood in good condition,” said Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis, lauding the hard work of the Department of Transportation (DOT) in swiftly repairing the set of stairs that connects Ridge Boulevard and Colonial Road at 76th Street, better known as the 76th Street Staircase and an accident waiting to happen, according to residents.
“These repairs are necessary to ensure that community members can travel safely on a daily basis,” continued Malliotakis who, alongside State Senator Marty Golden and Councilmember Vincent Gentile, penned a letter to outgoing Brooklyn Borough Commissioner for the NYC DOT Joseph Palmieri and his replacement, Acting Commissioner Keith Bray, in early June, asking for what many Ridgeites agreed were necessary repairs.
