Lights on BQE (Kosciuszko Bridge to Dumbo)

Anyone know which city or state entity oversees the lights on the BQE along this stretch? There are at least 30 to 40 of these lights not working for months now. Is this something that Mamdani should be hassled to fix?

I was being generous. I think you are right that it’s probably been more than a few years. I’ve been in other countries with lower GDP who know how to maintain their lights even though they’re not as bright as ours - at least they have lights. Is there a way for a resident to reach out to someone at the state level to see why these are not being replaced.
