  • May 4, 2016 Meeting Minutes
    CB #14 Transportation Committee Meeting: MAY 4, 2016 The meeting started promptly at 7:00 PM. The Co-Chairs of the Committee, Danny Ruscillo and Marty Ingram, organized and conducted the meeting. The meeting was held at the Bayswater Jewish Center in Far Rockaway. Transportation Committee Board Members present were Chris Tedesco and Steve Cooper. We did not have a Quorum. Representatives from NYC DOT (Al Silvestri and Erin Maciel) were present along with Department of Design and construction. Councilman Donovan Richards and Amanda Kernozek representative from Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder’s office were in attendance. Rick Horan from Queens Public Transit Committee also made a presentation on the QueensRail (QRL). The meeting started with an update regards the on-going transportation issues on the Rockaway Peninsula. The following issues were addressed: Beach 169th and Rockaway Point Boulevard traffic light: Despite thousands of complaints from residents and objections made from Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder the NYC DOT is continuing to re-establish the traffic light at Beach 169th Street. This light is within one hundred yards of a previously existing light at Heinzelman Road and in the past was the root cause for traffic backlogs on the Bridge. Beach Channel Drive (BCD) Closure between Bch 108th Street and the Rockaway Freeway: The NYC DOT reported that work was about to start and that the project would be completed by the Memorial Day weekend. Downtown Far Rockaway: The project is estimated to cost between $24M-$25M and would start in 2017 and end in 2019. This plan was coordinated with multiple city government agencies and addresses sidewalks, road surfaces, bicycle lanes, lighting, landscaping and improved storm and septic sewers.

  • Cross River Bank Demonstrates Key Growth, Makes Significant Personnel Hires
    Cross River Bank Demonstrates Key Growth, Makes Significant Personnel Hires Ft. Lee, NJ (April 9) _ As Cross River Bank approaches its 10th anniversary, the leader in the emerging FinTech market is demonstrating a surge in growth and surpassing significant milestones as it grows its customer base, offerings and strategic partnerships designed to revolutionize the banking infrastructure. In 2017, it saw several noteworthy achievements and entered into new strategic partnerships that strengthened its position as an innovator and trendsetter in Fintech. At the same time, Cross River was recognized last month by American Banker as one of 20 “Best Fintechs to Work For,” which is a significant reason why it has been able to double its work force – to more than 200 employees – over the past two years. “Our mission is to enable our clients to deliver responsible financial solutions that empower consumers anytime, everywhere. Our multidimensional growth demonstrates we’re executing on our mission,” said CEO Gilles Gade. “The common view is that FinTech represents technology at the service of finance, or “tech” at the service of “fin.” However, at Cross River, we’re reinventing FinTech and flipping the narrative in the process. We’re putting “fin” at the service of “tech.” Among Cross River’s financial achievements: • Equity surpassed $100 million in September 2017. • Marketplace Lending (MPL) platform exceeded $500 million in monthly origination volumes for the first time in July 2017. • Total MPL loan originations surpassed the $10 billion mark in October 2017. • MPL loan originations totaled $5.6 billion in 2017 alone providing access to credit to with over 2 million consumers.
