2012-02-22 LIRR maintenance truck parks on sidewalk & greatly reduces safety for pedestrians or those with wheels

Location: 
NE corner of 6th Ave & Pacific St
When: 
February 22, 2012 - 2:18pm

2012-02-22 LIRR maintenance truck parks on sidewalk & reduces safety for pedestrians because the sidewalk on this peculiar NE corner of 6th Ave & Pacific is extremely narrow with the gate & access ramp into the rail yard is always wide open & makes pedestrians step into the active Pacific St, this even occurs when no trucks park on the sidewalk.
