Work finally underway on Shore Road ramp in Bay Ridge
The ongoing saga of the repairs for the 97th Street ramp at Shore Road Park continues but with a hint of light at the end of the proverbial tunnel and a possible completion date in sight. After years of delays, the work is finally underway to repair the ramp to St. Patrick’s Field which offers the only nearby access to the park for sports teams, elderly individuals, baby carriages and the disabled.
When the ramp partially collapsed in late spring 2016, structural engineers from the NYC Parks Department determined that the ramp had been completely undermined and needed to be closed immediately for public safety.
The Parks Department recently promised City Councilmember Justin Brannan that a crew will be out there every day, except for weekends, working until the ramp is complete.
