Additional information: The waypoint is the sign for the fire station which doesn't meet any of the eligibility criteria, location is between a small walkway to the pedestrian entrance and the main driveway where trucks exit the station. This is not a good location for a waypoint, especially one that doesn't meet any current eligibility criteria.

This should be an easy call to remove
@tehstone-ING really? i am no expert by any means, but the sign is not in the way of emergency services. the sidewalk looks like it would counts for good pedestrian access. i struggle to see a reason it should be removed.
(plus whether or not something meets the **current** eligibility criteria is irrelevant.)
Waypoints on the grounds of fire stations should be removed, that's all there is to it. There's tons of precedent for this from Niantic as well as reviewers. Not sure why you would even think otherwise.
there are president for both removal and keeping at fire stations removal is if it blocks emergency access witch this one obiously does. but some bigger fire stations have actualy been proven to have suceffent parking space/ space for pedestrians that they have been alowed to keep there stops cause unless the players are being stupid it would be hard for them to impede the acess. so it realy becomes a case by case thing . altough i agree most should be removed i have seen a few including one close by me that youu in no way impede acess when getting the stop
Nice to see folks here already to the "actually fire stations make fine waypoints" stage. I can't roll my eyes hard enough at you folks, I hope you review better than you comment.
Honestly, any and every old Fire Station wayspot should be assumed to be blocking emergency servies and should be removed. It's not worth the safety risk to leave them around. Maybe it was fine for Ingress, but not for all the new Niantic games coming out. If it's that locally important and with safe access that it should be a wayspot, let current submitters/reviewers decide.
woah there! @arcaicways-PGO and I were discussing just fire stations, so there's no need for you to go postal. 😄
Please don't reply to my appeals any more. Your opinion is irrelevant.
@NianticGiffard this request can be closed, I handled it via other channels. Thank you!
Appeal Accepted - Thanks for the appeal, Agent. We gave this a second look and after reviewing the additional evidence provided, we've decided to retire the Portal in question.
