Councilman Vincent Gentile introduced legislation on Thurs- day that would significantly raise fines on illegal curb cuts and give community boards a say on future cuts, which can be gained legally through the Department of Buildings [DOB]. The effort follows the clearing last week of 28 parking spaces in Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights that, until now, had been restricted as a result of outdated no-parking signs. “This is a multi-pronged approached to a long-term parking problem in Bay Ridge,” said Gentile, who hopes that more parking woes will be lifted if Department of City Planning officials take seriously recommendations laid out in a zoning report he released in February. Among other recommendations, off-street parking would be required of all new developments. Under the proposal, community boards would scrutinize new applications for curb cuts before they reach the Department of Offering Buildings.

In order to obtain a permit for a curb cut, homeowners are required to bring a survey of their property to the DOB, submit construction drawings, complete an application and pay a $100 filing fee. If approved, an additional fee of $3 per foot is charged for the driveway, which must be at least 8.6-feet wide and 18-feet deep. “Because of their frustration with parking, people have taken the law into their own hands to make a driveway path onto their For more information, please call the property,” said Gentile, who worked in tandem with the Alliance Office of Admissions at 718.260.5500. of Bay Ridge Block Associations, a group that released its own report on curb cuts in December. “And while that may solve that individual parking problem, it creates an even worse parking New York City College of Technology/CUNY problem for everyone else because you eliminate one space from the street.” 300 Jay Street If passed, said Gentile, a survey would be taken by the de- Brooklyn, N.Y. 11201 partments of Transportation and Buildings to determine the number of illegal and legal curb cuts in the city.

Wee, to watch? Stay tuned. when they played here, and it’s like losing friends.” “We’ve seen the effect it’s had on the players here,” Bromberger continued. “I’ve talked to them and some of the players are demoralized, figuring that they’ll someday be traded as well, before they get a chance with the Mets. It’s af- fected their moral. They feel that if the Mets need a batboy, they’ll be traded.” Donna and Don Byrnes, Cyclones fans from Bay Ridge, were disappointed in a different way “My husband, Don, looked on the Internet in the morning and he said to me, ‘Hey, Donna, want to take a ride up to Binghamton? Scott’s pitching tonight,’ ’’ said Donna, who, along with her husband, has been following the team since its inaugural season. O THE TWO OF THEM drove over three hours from Brooklyn to see Kazmir pitch, something they had nev- Ser seen, although they have met Scott numerous times in Brooklyn and in the Mets spring training home in Port St. Lucie, Florida. “Just as we walk in the door to the Binghamton ballpark, we heard all the fans talking about the trades,” recalled Donna. “All of a sudden the door to the players’ entrance opened, and Scott [Kazmir] came out and we took one look at him and we knew the trade rumors were true. He should have been in uniform, he should have been preparing, and he had this look on his face, you had to see him. Like he was in space. He looked like a kid lost on a beach. I remember once I was little and lost on a beach and I was scared, and that’s the look he had on his face. “My husband said to Scott, ‘Is it true? Have you been traded? I can’t believe it!’And Scott noded his head and said to Don, ‘You can’t believe it? I can’t believe it!’ ” “I gave Scott a hug, and I thanked him for all the autographs he gave us,” said Donna. “He even apologized to us when he found out that we drove from Brooklyn to see him pitch.” Of the two “real” Cyclones who’ve played in the majors only one is still with the Mets. Danny Garcia, the first Cy- clone player to make the majors, has flip-flopped between Norfolk, the Mets top farm club, and the Mets. Lenny Dinar- do, the second Cyclone to make the majors, pitched for the Boston Rec Sox earlier this season, but he is now on their dis- abled list. Cyclones fans are well aware that baseball is a business. But fans don’t root for businesses; they root for human be- ings. And a lot of the fun that the fans had in waiting for the Cyclones to reach the majors has been lost since Justin Hu- ber, Matt Peterson, and Scott Kazmir were traded. “It definitely bothers you when the former Cyclones are traded,” said Donna. It’s like watching your own kids grow up. You want to be there when they finally grow up and make it in life. “You want to be there for the wedding day.” Brooklyn Papers columnist Ed Shakespeare’s book, “When Baseball Returned to Brooklyn,” is available at amazon.com.
