Welcome to the forum @stevenBONE !
Do you have any evidence what is at this building if it is not an active fire station? That will help your appeal.
I have to say that on Google Maps street view it does appear to be a working station, so you will need to prove it is not.
it’s operational
It’s still listed as operational per Google Maps and Street View from 2022 shows this:
Here is the town website for the fire department and the company as well: https://www.floralparkfd.org/reliance
The over view doesn’t have it listed as operational or even listed. The old photos you are showing are 9 years and 2 years ago. The new fire station is located at another location. The stop was added 1 year ago. I’ll have to walk over and take a recent picture.
Give me a day to go over, thanks
They deal with the equipment of the trucks. As stated in the paragraph.
Oh just found this. Let me know if you need me to still walk over
Hello and welcome,
Being that they still deal with the fire truck equipment, it may still be seen as operational. It all depends on what staff needs, so a current photo wouldn’t hurt. Also, here is what Street View from 2 years ago, which really isn’t that long ago, fully shows:
Also, do you know the OP? Are you posting on their behalf? I see that this was started by @stevenBONE requesting removal.
Steven is someone local. Locals told him to come to the forums to ask. I just wanted to put my opinion on it. Looks like someone wanted to report stops lol, we welcome salt. And yes, I’ll get you all the information needed to proceed. I’ll most likely provide by tomorrow. Happy new years!
We’re trying to understand why the removal is being requested, so it’s not uncommon for other users to try and help out here.
I just took a look at the Spatial map, and this Wayspot doesn’t exist, so it’s a restoration appeal, not removal. It’s not entirely clear what the initial request is, so just trying to figure it out. Here’s the current Wayspots in the area, and there isn’t one at the lat/long that the OP provided. The blue pin is just to mark the location; if there was a Wayspot here still, it would be similar to the others on the map.
He means appealing a removed Waystop. The stop was removed in the past week. (restoration appeal). Correct
This location 3 Holland Avenue in Floral Park, NY, known as the Reliance Fire House, serves as a venue for various community gatherings and events. For instance, the North End Civic Association has held meetings at this location. Just trying to make it clear it’s not an active fire emergency response team
It’s possible that another user requested removal for obstructing emergency services, since you have noted this used to be a fire station but is no longer a fully operational one. From the info that is available online, it still appears to be in operation, so this could have been what Niantic went off of.
Another way to request removal is via the Wayspot Removals link at the top of the forum. It’s possible that the fire department could have requested the removal, and they have the right to as it appears they still manage the property. Property owners/management can request removal for different reasons than what users can request, and these removal request typically stand.
Having as much info as possible is going to help staff with their decision, and sometimes current photos may be needed.
Yea np, someone will provide the appropriate information tomorrow
Thanks for the appeal, @stevenBONE. We have taken another look but stand by our decision to retire this Wayspot.
