Barges are transportation??

This is not an "infrastructure" newsgroup. This is a _transit_
newsgroup. If you want to read discussions of NYC infrastructure, then
go to the newsgroups where they are on topic.

Thank you for the information regarding the Floating Swimming Pool.
NY1 News just had a segment on the Brooklyn Pool.

According to Nydia Velasquez, you can take the subway to a certain stop,
and then take a free shuttle bus to the Floating Swimming Pool.

I didn't get the stop.

It's just like going to Jones Beach,
where you can take the LIRR and then a
shuttle bus to Jones Beach.

It is very kind of you to post interesting things to do in NYC,
whenever you get wind of them.


I consider you are doing a Public Service.

Did I introduce a thread about the cost of postage stamps? It came up
in the course of discussion of something relevant (at its start,
anyway).

What is an "official description," and how is a floating swimming pool
either "infrastructure" or "related to transportation," let alone
"infrastructure related to transportation"?
