A catch basin has collapsed at the intersection of Eagle Avenue and Westchester Avenue in the Melrose section of The Bronx.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s at the corner of a crosswalk, making it dangerous for pedestrians walking by. Although it’s unclear when it collapsed, residents in the area say it’s been like that for a while.<\/p>\n
News 12 reached out to the Department of Transportation and the Department of Environmental Protection and is waiting to hear back.<\/p>\n
One pedestrian told News 12 that he walks past it every day, calling it a \u201chuge hazard.\u201d<\/p>\n
“Now that I’m seeing it, I think it’s crazy because I could’ve fell in it,\u201d said Andy. \u201cMy mom, anyone that lives with me that I care about or anyone around here.”<\/p>\n
He says his tax dollars should be funding the repairs, but he hasn’t seen any work done in months.<\/p>\n
“When civilians and citizens are paying so much in taxes, they city should look better. At least cleaner, things like this shouldn’t be happening,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A catch basin has collapsed at the intersection of Eagle Avenue and Westchester Avenue in the Melrose section…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":168670,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,69188,69187,32307,9,24,63,69186,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-168669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-catch-basin","tag-catch-basin-collapse","tag-melrose","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-safety-hazard","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168669"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168669\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/168670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=168669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
