Councilman Mark Treyger Fails to Do His Job
Although we live in Bay Ridge, my family has a business at the end of Gravesend in Councilman Mark Treyger’s area. In June, I drove up to the shop and noticed that the street sign had been hit pretty bad by a tall truck (someone must have used the driveway to backup and went too far). A tall kid could grab on to it and swing from it.
We reported it to 311 online.
About 10 days after, the DOT responded that they fixed the sign and sent us an e-mail.
In mid-July, I stopped by the shop and the sign was still really bent – less than before, but still bent (straight up is 90 degrees, it was bent by the truck to like 140 degrees – the city repaired it to a 115 degree angle). Basically someone from the city came and pushed the sign up a bit, but it was still bent. I went back to 311 online and re-reported it.
I shouldn’t have to do that. Mark Treyger has a staff of people who should be monitoring the area and checking that 311 calls have been handled.
Yesterday we received this:
311 sends their records to City Council so Mark Treyger should have rode around his district or had someone on his staff do so, instead of filing stupid complaints and seeking another position out of his area, maybe people will be satisfied with the job he was doing. From 311’s site:
There’s no point in Treyger being a Councilman if he isn’t going to take care of the area. Last month, Treyger gave a press release to newspapers that signs in his area were old instead of reporting them to 311 to be replaced. Get out of the office or do your job Mark Treyger.
