I agree with this proposal because my family owns an electric car and we live very close to the proposed charger. It would benefit us very much to have this charger installed. Thank you for understanding.

There would be people leaving there cars there overnight and not moving even after completely charging
I'M IN FAVOR OF THIS PROPOSAL!
Parking is scarce in the area and block due to continued construction, Track and field hall of fame events, Citibikes, Columbia University Crane Operations parking spot taken, Coned work, summer streets, temporary boilers, impending trash program to reduce rats, etc.
As an Uber taxi driver living near West 190th Street and Bennett Avenue, I desperately need public EV charging in our neighborhood. I depend on my electric vehicle to support my family, but I must travel far from home and wait for hours just to charge it—often late at night and in freezing winter weather. Other taxi and rideshare drivers living near 190th Street and Bennett Avenue face the same hardship. Please install both Level 2 chargers and a Level 3 fast charger at this location. This would provide essential support for local drivers who rely on their vehicles to earn a living.
Please install a Level 2 curbside EV charger at or near the corner of Bennett Avenue and West 190th Street. Our neighborhood desperately needs more public EV charging infrastructure. There are currently very few practical curbside charging options in this part of Upper Manhattan. The chargers on Fort Washington Avenue near West 165th Street are frequently occupied, and other options require traveling into the Bronx. Bennett Avenue would be an excellent location. I would not recommend Broadway because of the parking restrictions, metered spaces, and heavy traffic. Bennett Avenue is primarily residential and would provide convenient overnight and everyday charging for residents who do not have access to private garages or driveways. I also know families living on Bennett Avenue who would like to purchase an EV but are holding off specifically because of the lack of accessible charging infrastructure. Please consider Bennett Avenue and West 190th Street for a Level 2 curbside charger. It would meet a real neighborhood need and help more residents make the transition to electric vehicles. Thank you for taking the time to hear our concerns and consider our neighborhood.
GREAT place for a charging station, wide sidewalk, lots of citibikes here already, lots of cars nearby. Great choice. I live near here.
I live near there. I have a car that’s not electric, but I’d get an electric car next time if there was a charging station! I’d only worry about blocking corner sight lines or the crosswalk. And please don’t take out the antique fire box! We love that on our street!
The time has come.
