Rehab Our Infrastructure
To The Editor:

Last week, we woke up to chaos after a severe thunderstorm and tornado. Streets, homes and subway lines were flooded. The New York subway system was shut down for virtually an entire day, while millions of dollars of damage was done to homes and lives were put at risk. Slowly but surely, the city's entire infrastructure is falling apart.

Over the years, New York City residents have suffered from massive blackouts due to a failing power supply infrastructure, street flooding and a growing number of potholes in the streets, an obsolete sewer system and bungling bureaucracy. We call upon all city, state and federal lawmakers to get down to work by providing funds and solutions, so that our deteriorating quality of life improves.

We desperately need our representatives to study these areas of severe neglect and start providing some relief. They must act now. Protect our homes and the environment. Save us from the despair of overwhelming disaster. Albert Baldeo Community Advocate Ozone Park
