Fixed that for him. There are no Avenues of Africa, Asia, Europe, etc.

From an urban planning point of view, no pedestrian normally looks up that high (you typically only notice things two feet above your head). But it's not surprising. Rodriguez is a political hack with a patronage job. Knows nothing about transportation and streetscapes elements.

Eric Adams put a bunch of former city council members in high commissioner positions for a reason. They know little to nothing about what their agencies actually do, but they'll be unendingly loyal because he rewarded them for their political endorsement a few years ago.
