#throwbackthursday to August 9th, 2020 when @josephfrazier and I along with 2 other friends grabbed a bunch of hand saws and got rid of this massive branch that had fallen across the Christie Street #bikeNYC lane a week before

311 complaints were closed shortly after that with the comment "we investigated and DOT or another agency has resolved the problem"

A picture of the bike path covered with a fallen branch making it unpasaable

Another angle of the bike path with the fallen branch making it unpassable

The fallen branch is now entirely in one lane of the 2 lane bike path.

In the foreground a cyclist has already passed on the newly opened path while in the background someone is still cutting in to the branch

Another angle on the cleared branch.

Once again you can see a cyclist already taking advantage of the cleared path before we even finished handling it
