As reported today. July 10, 2015, at Broadway.com, the ribbon cutting ceremony was held for the John T. Brush Stairway.
NYC Parks Commissioner Mitchell J. Silver, FAICP joined New York Yankees Chief Operating Officer Lonn Trost, Executive Vice President of Communications and Senior Advisor to the CEO for the San Francisco Giants Staci Slaughter, former New York Met and Yankee Lee Mazzilli, Assembly Member Herman D. Farrell, Jr. and Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez to cut the ribbon on the newly restored historic John T. Brush Stairway on the 102nd anniversary of its dedication. The stairway connects Edgecombe Avenue at 158th Street in Washington Heights to the Harlem River Driveway where the old Polo Grounds used to sit.

I don't get it. Doesn't anyone in the city government know how to publicize events. When the High Bridge opened on June 9 there was hardly anyone at the ceremony because they did not publicize the event which commemorates the spending of over $61 million for the redevelopment. Here, at the Stairway to Heaven we have a stairway that goes nowhere and we spent over $1.4 million. The project was completed over a year ago, and then, without proper publicity they have a ribbon cutting ceremony without letting anyone know what was going on. Thanks for the consideration for all the money that the people who are paying for all this are getting.
