So, the city/county/plex can steal and rob from the taxpayers to put in UNNECESSARY fancy lighting on Erie Blvd, to give King Morris an UNNECSSSARY gold ceiling, to give tax exemptions to their multimillionaire political cronies, but they have no money for infrastructure!
Rose Rd closed due to a sink hole.
Closed from Nott St to Wendell Ave, which means how does one get into Ellis Hospital since they have closed the traditional main entrance. If there's no parking left in the garage.
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
I believe the Main Entrance to the hospital is still open: its the E.D. entrance that is closed due to construction
The "former" main entrance is now the emergency department entrance. The main entrance is now in the parking garage. A couple times I had to take my dad to Ellis, I would pull up to the "main entrance" which was the entrance where the lobby is, the information desk, and the gift job. Instead of veering to the right to go into the garage you took a left, up a little hill, under what seems to be a carport and you stop. I could get out of the car, put my four-ways on, get my dad out, walk him all of ,maybe 30 feet and sit him down in the lobby while I go to the garage and park. That entrance is now closed. One goes into the parking garage. I don't have handicapped plates therefore I cannot park in a handicapped spot. Parents car has the handicapped plates for dad, but mom take the car to work. You probably don't know what a long walk it can be. And because of lack of space, you simply do not pull up near the entrance door to the hospital while inside the parking garage and leave your car there in order to take someone out.
Likewise, people to might take taxi's cannot access the hospital from the parking garage, not without a long walk.
So people can park and go in from Rosa Rd.
Rosa Rd is close from Nott St to Wendell Ave because the city has been doing this wild UNNECESSARY projects like putting in expensive fancy lighting on Erie Blvd and doing construction that will create traffic jams at the end of the work day when trying to leave the city--by narrowing Erie Blvd. But at the same time, critical NECESSARY infrastructure work is needed in the neighborhoods---those places where the people who pay the bills for the city actually live and need access to.
If you don't know where Rosa Rd is, look on a map, it runs right along side the hospital where the ER entrance used to me, where there's another professional building with it's parking lot from Rosa Rd. Wendell Ave crosses Nott St then runs parallel to Rosa Rd but in a curved way so that it meets Rosa Rd.
Of course, despite that this happened before noon time today, the city does not see fit to put any information on their website to tell people of the road being closed.

There is a drop off area in the garage where you can unload a passenger. There is a parking attendent and greeter there who should be able to help you. They are suppose to be able to even direct you to an empty parking spot. It's a long walk from there, but there are wheel chairs available that you or a transportation employee can push.

Exactly. Great Post! This is life saving advice. There was a wreck on Rosa Rd in front of the Ellis ER. They airlifted the victim to AMC. Tell your family today treatment at AMC/St Peters only.
URGENT Enter Elllis on Nott St ONLY.This is a three year project which will destroy the last decent neighborhood in the City. In fairness this was no sinkhole and nothing to do with Erie wastefulness. Construction cranes had to be set up on Rosa to dig the new ER foundation. The new ER should have been located at old St Claire's. The DEM controlled planning board should have never approved this. And you ain't seen nothing yet. Wait until they start building the multilevel parking garage on Rosa. We don't need no trees. We need light glare, noise, pollution from another eyesore parking garage in a residential neighborhood.
True. I know a couple who lived near the hospital, the woman liked to sit out on her porch on nice evenings, the hospital built the big 24 hour lit up parking garage and then she got glaring lights to look at instead of the night sky. It wouldn't be as bad if we got a better hospital out of the deal, but noooo. Ruining neighborhoods for nothing. Like ruining Bradley Boulevard for the soon-to-be not really a hospital, St. Clares's. I am not criticizing the hard working dedicated employees of Ellis, which we all know at least a few of. But that hospital keeps getting bigger and bigger while providing less and less actual care to sick people. BTW, they cause their own parking problems by having non-hospital features on-site, like a "medical arts" building and a nursing home (?).
The urban visionary believes that they will all flock back to the ghetto to be controlled by government
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
Nicely kept homes in a residential area look better than a parking lot on a main corner, I think most people would agree. I would rather live next door to another nice house than parking. For what? Schenectady had attractive neighborhoods. Some people don't get that. Once you start punching holes in the streetscape (knocking down buildings) the area declines into urban wasteland. Ask a real urban planner, not anybody connected with Schenectady.

Look at Franklin Street-huge NE Parent Building where professional office {that paid taxes} used to be. Lower Franklin by City Hall another neutron bomb site like lower State but shhh don't nuthin. You think the DEM morons could see the total decay coming in and out for their stooge meetings-No? Get the City DEM chair a pair of glasses that fit his face.
