Council Member Vincent Gentile then presented Greg Ahl with a Proclamation from City Council. Chair Cruz asked for a motion from the floor to adopt the Agenda for tonight's meeting. Motion by BM Sokoloski, seconded by BM Grimaldi. Chair Cruz asked for a motion from the floor to adopt the Minutes from the December 19, 2016 Board Meeting. Motion by BM D' Amelio, seconded by BM Sokoloski. PUBLIC SESSION June Johnson announced the 4th Annual Blood Drive in memory of her son, Mathiew Johnson, which will be held on Thursday, March 16th at PS 102. She wanted to provide this advance notice of her event since blood can only be donated every 56 days. She spoke about a bone marrow drive that was conducted at last year's blood drive for a 6 year old local child, who did not find a match here, but found one from Germany, and her bone marrow drive did yield a donor match for another patient. She encouraged people to come out on March th 16 • Carmen Feliciano announced that the World Harvest Community Center, formerly the Bay Ridge Christian Center, has a food and clothing pantry on Saturday mornings. They give out clothes and food to low income fan1ilies, seniors and homeless. They also go to Red Hook on Saturday mornings, and between the two churches they serve from 200-275 clients. A business owner just gave them a third facility to use in Sunset Park, which they can use all week. They are looking for office furniture and racks on wheels or any shelving for food for that facility. They need clothes from babies to adults, and blankets. They take donations at the parking lot from 8:30 AM to noon weather permitting. If anyone knows anyone who is low income and can use some additional food, they can go there with proof of income and how number of people in the family. The Bay Ridge Christian Center is located on 64th Street between 6th and ih Avenues. She noted that they do not pick up because programs are on a volunteer basis. Council Member Vincent Gentile announced another commuting challenge about to come upon us as renovations begin at the Bay Ridge Avenue station. The project is a good thing, but in the interim it is going to cause some disruption. He has sent a letter to Transit Authority President Hakim asking her to implement the same bus shuttle service during the week that they plan to do on the weekends from Bay Ridge Avenue to 59th Street. He also asked to increased bus service on the B9, B37, B63, and B64 bus lines. The Councilman announced that the new ferry service is still on track and on schedule to begin this summer at the 69th Street Pier. The barge construction was done off-site and will be towed to the Pier from the yards in Staten Island in a very short time. Marine construction will begin at the 69th Street Pier in the coming months. Everything should be ready to go this summer, which will give us another option to commute into Manhattan. BM Grimaldi asked if there are any accommodations for bathrooms at the 69th Street Pier. The Councilman said there is a design and he will check, but certainly there are facilities on the boat and the boats come pretty frequently for the first three hours in the morning. BM Stelter asked if there will be ferry service to Staten Island will be reinstated. Councilman Gentile said it might be Coney Island to Bay Ridge to Staten Island. He noted that they sent ajoint letter with the Staten Island Borough President and the Brooklyn Borough President saying we want to go to Staten Island to enjoy the ferris wheel, the ballparks, the museums. But if we pay $17 for VZ Bridge toll then go on the ferris wheel which is expected to cost around $35, it is an expensive trip. That is the reason he joined the Staten Island Borough President and the Brooklyn Borough President and other elected officials in asking the Mayor to create this new ferry service. BM Falutico asked about a discount for the Verrazano Bridge for Brooklyn residents and the Councilman said we should have some similar discounts as Staten Island residents, but he has no jurisdiction over that. Councilman Gentile said there has been a lot of frustration about the ramp that leads into the park on Shore Road and 97th Street, which has been boarded up for almost one year. He wanted to let everyone know that it is more complicated than just repaving the ramp. The entire structure underneath the ramp has deteriorated so the whole thing has to be taken out and redone. The complication is that you cannot put a ramp that goes straight down into the park anymore. Now you have to comply with the Americans for Disability Act, which requires a complete redesign of the entrance to the park so the ramp gradually goes down to the park at a safe angle. However, there is a contract in place that we can add this project to. We can actually start it sometime this year. The Parks Department told him they will be here sometime in March to present the new design to the Community Board. Soon thereafter upon approval they should be able to start the project sometime in late spring. They do not know how long it will take. The Councilman announced that the city-wide homeless count is next Monday night. The meeting place is P.S. 102 at 10:00 PM. He asked anyone interested in joining them to call his office for details. He noted that New York City offers the ability to file your taxes for free if you earned less than $64,000 in 2016. Call 311 for information or see the flyer in the back. His office has the 1040 short forms available. Chair Cruz commented that the ADA compliant ramp will be very nice but it also would be family friendly for pushing carriages and bicycles.

  • TRANSIT REPORT: the Ordeal of Southern Brooklyn Commuters
    NEW YORK STATE SENATOR ANDREW GOUNARDES DECEMBER 2019 TRANSIT REPORT: The Ordeal of Southern Brooklyn Commuters 8018 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11209 | (718) 238-6044 | gounardes.nysenate.gov Content Introduction 3 Survey Results 4 Analysis 8 Next Steps 12 Appendix 14 Dear Neighbor - It’s no secret that the MTA is broken and that southern Brooklyn desperately needs new transit options. As a regular transit rider, I know firsthand the frustrations and delays that have resulted from our dysfunctional transit system. Great public transit can transform the very character of a city. Poor public transit can harm economic prospects, quality of life and more. This transit report is a compilation of the results of our transit survey, which represents more than seven months of seeking to reach commuters at every subway station and commuter bus stop in the district. We wanted to ask a simple question: How’s your commute? We knew that the answers wouldn’t be pretty, and that’s borne out in the survey results below. You’ll see the very real impact that the terrible commute has on peoples’ lives here in southern Brooklyn as well as some ideas for making our system better. The results of this survey confirm for me how important it is for elected officials to champion more reliable, frequent service for our buses and subways, as well as accountability and station accessibility. I have introduced legislation to codify accessibility goals and another bill to give riders a vote on the MTA board so they can have a say in how their transit dollars get spent.
