Gounardes Failed to Get Money to Fix the R Train
Often we see Andrew Gounardes standing in photos where an announcement is being made.
During the year, I caught Gounardes sharing messages from a group called Rider’s Alliance. Each message spoke about six minute service at train stations. Not one person in Bay Ridge questioned Gounardes when everyone knows the R train doesn’t even have 15 minute service!
Richer parts of Gounardes’ district will get train upgrades. The G, J and M train will receive a $35 million upgrade at Hoyt-Schemerhorn station.
Irronically, Gounardes had a fundraiser three minutes away from the Hoyt-Schemerhorn station in the first week of January.
In January, we couldn’t figure out why he was having another fundraiser when he had plenty of money form the November election. (See here)
