On April 27, at a meeting arranged by @LincolnRestler, @NYC_DOT presented the results & recommendations from the Dumbo mobility study initiated in 2024. Two weeks later and they still haven’t uploaded it to this website. Why not? nycdotprojects.info/project/… @DUMBOActionComm @bdhowald

.@NYCBikeLanes @StreetsblogNYC Hey, these limo vans are on the sidewalk on Furman Street in a No Standing Zone. Do you go after hotels, or just auto repair shops?

The Fulton Ferry Pizza District has a new member joining the others in the area. A franchise of Patsy’s Pizzeria is coming to 7 Old Fulton Street. It’s also around the corner from Ignazio’s, down the block from Juliana’s and Grimaldi’s, and across the street from Spumoni Gardens.
Two huge Mexican flags were just added to the makeshift shrine to the two crew members who were fatally wounded on Saturday.

The ship is approximately 150’ tall, so no matter where it was in the river it would have hit the bridge. The main point that is still not getting attention from major media is that it was traveling stern first (backward) due to engine failure.
The clearance in the center of the channel is approximately 126’. The tall ship lost power and drifted toward the Brooklyn tower, where the clearance is only 116’.

At approximately 8:20 Saturday night, the FDNY received a call that a boat struck the Brooklyn Bridge. There were 277 people on the boat. 27 people were removed for treatment.
“Originally, we had a Brooklyn box out for folks in the water, for a boat in distress. Once the marine units arrived on scene, we knew immediately that we had a serious incident with a boat striking the bridge, so we had reports of people in the water. At that point coming down the FDR, we decided to have a dual command post, both on the Brooklyn side and the Manhattan side. Our marine units got out there, picked up Rescue 2 and Rescue 4 and brought them out to the vessel. They started to remove and treat the aided. They also brought EMS units out to the vessel to start to treat the more seriously injured people on that vessel. They brought them all here to Pier 16, where we set up a casualty collection point and an EMS staging area to assess the victims and send the most serious to the hospital right away. The police, fire and EMS did a tremendous job of working together to get everyone off of that ship safe,” said Chief of Training Michael Meyers.

1/ The $7 million rebuild of Cadman Plaza Park’s lawn in Brooklyn is already falling apart.
Park management - and local dog owners - bear joint responsibility. Critically, park management and the city have not protected taxpayers’ investment and it impacts everyone.
The beautiful lush lawn in May is now mud and standing water.
We desperately need a red light camera at Old Fulton Street and the BQE entrance ramp.
Red light cameras save lives.
Today @GovKathyHochul signed a bill that will allow us to quadruple the number of intersections with red light cameras.
Thanks to @NYCMayor, Governor Hochul, @JeffreyDinowitz , @Sen_Gounardes & other elected officials for making our streets safer.

Mets magic number is five, not four, because if they have a two game lead ending the weekend and the Braves sweep on Monday, Atlanta wins the tiebreaker. @DonLagreca @TMKSESPN @Rosenbergradio @RealMichaelKay
