Appeal for removed wayspot

When submitting a Wayspot Appeal, make sure to include as much of the following information as possible:

  • Wayspot Title: Restored callbox
  • Location (lat/lon): 40.61768416, -73.98465158
  • City: Brooklyn, New York
  • Country: United States
  • Screenshot of the Rejection Email (do not include your personal information):
  • Additional Information (if any): There was a callbox at this location that was removed in the past week, even though it’s still there physically according to google maps (https://maps.app.goo.gl/MQXyGUTQ1mPq2zEs7). I’ve also noticed that other callboxes around the area have gone missing too which is a bit odd

Welcome to the forum!

I don’t have anything to do with the outcome of these appeals, but since you are new, I wanted to try to help you make the best case you can for restoration. There will be a reason this was removed. Can you give more evidence than just that it exists? For example, prove that it does not obstruct emergency services, and does meet criteria as a great place to exercise, explore, or be social? The link to in service call boxes makes it appear that it does obstruct emergency services. I believe that many of these were accepted incorrectly and are being removed when reported, but we don’t have these where I am.

Thanks for the appeal, @ENLPRX We have taken another look but stand by our decision to retire the Wayspot in question.
