With Sunday meters, (718) 748-1977 FREE DELIVERY (718) 748-1918 (min. $10.00) it’s now ‘pay to pray’ By Deborah Kolben The Brooklyn Papers 50% OFF Local parishioners gathered out- Roll or side Bethlehem Lutheran Church on Ovington and Fourth avenues Sushi or Sashimi Handroll Only Sunday morning to protest Sunday $ 50 parking meters, which they say are each hindering their ability to pray. ALL DAY LONG 2 “It’s just such a break in the solemnity and spirituality of the service, you’re not concentrating on the sermon, you’re con- centrating on the clock,” said congrega- tion president Lillian Hansen, 72, who says she has to leave church at least twice every Sunday to plunk quarters into a me- ter. Before last May, parishioners could park at metered spots for no charge on Sundays, but that all changed because of the city’s budget crunch. The new rules are forcing parishioners, who don’t have time to move their cars during the service, to illegally feed the meters, an offense punishable with a $55 ticket. Sunday meter service was extended to the area in May when the Department of Transportation changed approximately 19,000 of the city’s 64,000 parking meters to seven-day operation. Of those, 7,282 were in Brooklyn. “It’s disruptive to worship services and it’s an inconvenience,” said the church’s pastor, Paul Knudsen who added that many of the congregates who drive are seniors and have a difficult time making it up and down the church steps to feed the meters. “During holy communion, the high point of the worship service, we have peo- ple running out and back in,” Knudsen said, adding that in a small sanctuary the noise can be disruptive. Bay Ridge Councilman Vincent Gen- tile, who organized Sunday’s protest and was not a member of the City Council when the new parking rules were made law, called the meters “offensive.” Gentile contacted the Department of

Transportation last month concerning the Callan / Tom parking meters, but is yet to receive a re- sponse, he said. The Sunday initiative was passed as part of a budget modification that Mayor

The facility, which would have a 10 pm curfew, would house lower my women who were either referred through the domestic violence hotline or have been in counseling with the center, O’Connor said. When Eileen Rohan, a resident of the block and one of the lead organizers of the meeting, opened the discussion, she pointed out that the large number of community members have lived in the area for well over 10 years. The transient nature of the facility was a ma- jor problem for some — most residents will not stay over six months O’Connor said — but the anxiety over the facility covered a broad spectrum. energy costs? Concerns voiced at the meeting also included the subdivision of a “ four-story brownstone into such tight units; the possibility of jilted hus- bands tracking down their spouses, and the cultural makeup of the facil- ity, which would be comprised of Asian women. “We don’t speak Chinese either,” one man said. “How are we going to be neighbors with people we can’t even communicate with?” Salvatore Russo, a resident of Carroll Gardens and a criminal de- fense attorney, protested the subdivision of the building and threat- ened a lawsuit, without specifying grounds. “I think you’re setting up a dormitory on a one-, two-, three-story residential block,” Russo said. “If you bought an eight-family home New Yorkers use more electricity in the summer, and did what you wanted to do with it, nobody would have anything and the air conditioner uses more power than to say about it.” But when O’Connor asked, “If we just put four families, would most other home appliances, except the you be all right?” she was met with murmurs and few “no’s.” fridge — which operates non-stop all-year round.

More than a decade ago, the DOT announced that the crumbling Gowanus Expressway — a 5.7-mile stretch of elevated highway running from the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway down to the Ver- razano Narrows Bridge — required a major overhaul. Since that time, community groups have feverishly fought to have a tunnel replace the roadway. Keeping Cool ON IT conEd.com Over the next few years, the agency plans to spend $44 million on small patch jobs along the roadway. In 2007, the state DOT plans to spend $300 million to replace the deck of the expressway. That money is designated for over a nine- year period, according to Harold Fink, director of the Gowanus Ex- pressway Project for the state DOT. According to Fink, these “emergency repairs” are just a short- term solution to the Gowanus’ problems. “Eventually a much more serious solution has to be found. It’s certainly not this,” Fink said. “This is just a way to ensure opera- tional service for a limited period of time.” Approximately $10 million to $15 million is spent maintaining the expressway each year, according to the state DOT. Asked if the tunnel was still in the works, Fink said, “Anything is possible if funding could be provided.” —Deborah Kolben ©2003 Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc.

In his statement, the 26-year-old artist writes, “Modern society is a mas- sive trash-producing machine — the moment some- thing becomes redundant it joins the waste piles of the world. It is my interest to bring life back into these objects, binding then together to make new objects with new meaning and significance.
