Locally, complaint stations have been set up at the Van Brunt Station (11215) and the Times Plaza Station (11217), two stations with continuing mail problems.%u201cEach of the zip codes has a number for complaints,%u201d says Post Office representative Dennis Draney. %u201cAlthough they will spend most of their time at the station, they will circulate to other stations on a regular basis.%u201d Each of the six consumer affairs representatives handles roughly six zip codes. %u201cIf they can%u2019t resolve the problem within the post station, then they will go through management until a solution can be found,%u201d adds Draney.Peter Giangrande is the consumer contact for the Van Brunt Station, also covering 11201, 11205, 11220, 11231, and 11232.

The news echoes similar comments made a week earlier when it was reported that the guidelines would be released last week, paving the way for the long awaited announcement of an operator of the Brooklyn ferry service.The New Jersey ferry shuttle would hook Elizabeth, N.J. to the South Street Seaport in 30 minutes and officials met last weekend to discuss renting a local pier to the Direct Line Commuter Co. for regular operation.According to Dara Asken, a spokesperson for New York City%u2019s Department of Ports, International Trade and Commerce (PITC), the New Jersey service requires a different Request for Proposal than the City%u2019s, but it would still have to meet the same guidelines that are being established for the Fulton Ferry and other inter-city ferry services.Currently, five proposals are being reviewed for the Fulton Ferry Service. The trial period ended more than a year ago and the City and planned for the service to originally begin last spring. The plans were delayed after the proposed operators began to join together hoping to increase their chances of being awarded the contract.Board Approves WorkThe Transnnratinn flnmmittpp nf r%u2019nmrnunity Board Six has recommended approval of the final design plans for the reconstruction of Fifth Ave. between Flatbush and 1st St. with 11 conditional items they want included in the final contracts.The committee mooting Oct. 9 was attendHE P H O E N IX , C -.Sober 16. 1986ed by a large number of Fifth Ave. merchants who were concerned about the disruption to their business during the construction work which is scheduled to begin next year. At previous meetings, other concerns had been raised about traffic safety, decorative lighting and notification to mprehants about, the schedule of construction activity.Among the 11 items the committee would like to see included in the $1.4 million project that will rebuild the water main and sewer system, the road bed and some of the sidewalks, included: the monitoring of traffic along the street at all times, more decorative lighting, advance notices to merchants as to when work would be taking place in front of their stores, and a reduction in the length of construction segments to two or three blocks. The current plans call for the construction segments to be five or six blocks long.Peggy Buffalano, Transportation Committee chair, said the committee also recommended that the construction be halted during the holiday season from Nov. 1 to Jan. 2. The recommendation will be brought before the full community board for approval at the Nov. 12 meeting.
