I just wanted to document here that the tunnel that the commuters use to cross under the railroad tracks was especially disgusting last week. It's obviously being used as a toilet by some desperate souls or miscreants. True, commuters do have the choice of avoiding the sewage by taking the long walk up and over the pedestrian bridge, but some rather unsavory looking characters have been hanging out on that walkway. At least the tunnel is short, and there's usually at least one or two other commuters there as witnesses in case of trouble. So we have a choice of trying to hold our breaths and walking through sewage for half a minute or hoping that those people hanging around the walkway and adjoining gas station are simply friendly stargazers or birdwatchers, and not the opportunistic robbers who threatened to prey on the commuter who broke her leg last month.
We commuters need to know: who is in charge of cleaning that tunnel? How often is it cleaned? Can't that security camera be used to catch the people who are fouling the tunnel? What kind of health hazard does breathing that sewage pose?
Mayor Bennett, County Executive Craig, Secretary Porcari, Administrator Wiedefeld: I dare you to take one minute out of your busy days and take just four deep breaths in that tunnel, and then keep ignoring the problems we face every day.
