Well, I just dropped off a few more bags of donated audio books to the library at Visions. I was coming from uptown so exited the subway on the NW corner. I was heading East and went to push the APS button. It was hard to reach because the garbage can was in front of the button. If a warning, not very obvious. When I got the signal, I proceeded East... well, not exactly, more like SE in to the west bound traffic on 23rd street. There seem to be some major obstacles there. I returned from Visions heading west on the north side of 23rd and listened for the APS locater. This was again hard to reach because of the garbage can in front of the button. Am I smart or what? I detect a pattern here. A nice passerby helped me around the construction or obstacle or whatever. Otherwise I would have been heading SW into the 23rd street west bound traffic. I wonder what the south side of the intersection is like and whether this is going to be how things look for the next few weeks. Maybe some of this info has been communicated to the tennants of Selis but not to the greater community. I am very concerned. I know that we have a GDUNY meeting at the Library on 20th Street coming up on Saturday. People may find the landscape quite confusing and dangerous. Now let me add, there were no construction workers hanging aroung who might have been of assistance or even looking out for blind pedestrians.
