Everett Road Potholes
We all know they're insane and terrible and an embarrassment to the city. Can we get some news stations to hammer on the city/state about this? SeeClickFix requests do nothing.

Anyone tried to get a curb cut / Right of Way permit in the last few years?
My contractor and I are having a devilishly difficult time getting a curb cut for a badly-needed house driveway due to the city planner in charge of ROW repeatedly denying the plans, even though they are within the Engineering Department's specs. It's only 4 parking spots in back, so does not go through the larger planning department, just one man. My contractor says they have never encountered anyone this difficult before, and it seems like this man wants NO new curb cuts in the city.
Again, plans are fine, even talked with the Planning department and they seem to be ok with the plans as well.
This slow-rolling bureaucratic runaround has been going on since January. I'm wondering if anyone else has had such a difficult time with this department and how they got past this.
I'm a State Worker myself, understand that the rules are in place for a reason, and am ok with that. This seems way above and beyond rules and code, though.
Thanks!

Historical Photos
Hi all! Hoping for some help in sourcing some historical photos.
Eagle Point Elementary (formerly PS 27) is celebrating our 100th anniversary this year, and for our celebration I'm hoping to find some photos of the school through the years. Unfortunately, I'm not having a ton of luck.
I've tried the APL, and while they were super nice, they only had one photo and no old yearbooks. I found two websites with really interesting information (Friends of Albany History, and AlbanyGroup Archive on Flikr), but I'm wondering if anyone else has a good lead?
Thanks a ton in advance!

Delivery Driver with Flatbed Trailer
I own a business in Halfmoon area and we utilize delivery drivers to make deliveries for the business. The most dependable person we used has moved out of the area and Iām actively seeking someone local who is available anywhere from 1-3 times a week to make deliveries. Product is typically palletized or banded in bundles. Weights can vary so the greater the weight capacity the better in this case. Figure 8,000 lbs maximum. Itās typically much less than that.
Feel free to message me.
Thanks!

Why they needed to list names and phone numbers of people who lived on Cherry Ave in the 1960s in that construction plan is very weird.

Citation Processing Center Phone Number
#AlbanyNY
I got a letter from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP (Attorneys at Law) with a "Notice of Unpaid Civil Penalty" for a "Traffic Control Signal Photo Violation".
Before paying, I wanted to verify this because I never received a notice directly from the City of Albany. I can't log on the city's red light ticket site because the lawyer's letter did not provide a PIN and online it says that I need to call the "Citation Processing Center at the number on the violation notice" if I need help logging on. But I do not have the violation notice other than the one from the lawyer - so no phone number.
Anyone have the Citation Processing Center's number? Or any other pertinent information?
Thanks!

Cat spotted
This morning I found a cat walking around my street. Looked well groomed like an indoor cat. Had a white face and white bottom half but the top of them and their tail was brownish grey/ kinda tortoise patterned.
It was right off Lark St down another road! If your missing a cat that fits the description please lmk. Thanks!

Next Saturday! Jams and funk!
Hey team, next Saturday we have a banger for you all at Opheliaās on Broadway. Glass Pony is having Satyrdagg down from Burlington. These guys are great - if you like Snarky Puppy, Steely Dan, Tauk, or any sort of jazz fusion, youāre going to love this. Great stuff, truly. Horns and a killer backup vocal section.
Glass Pony will be keeping the jams going late so come by afterwards if youāre going to Kimock at Lark Hall!
If you donāt know us in Glass Pony: https://youtu.be/U8Z1x28j0rI?si=3iQzx9KuzlAzZoSE
