June 7, 2025Richie Barsamian and Others Spoke Out Against the Citibike Expansion Plans For Bay Ridge
Richie Barsamian, whose running for Bay Ridge’s NYC Council seat was on 3rd Avenue speaking out against the expansion of Citibike in Bay Ridge.
Barsamian said this expansion will create an unnecessary burden on the community.
Bikes are not terrible, but this rollout is wrong for Bay Ridge. If Justin Brannan was leading in Bay Ridge rather than running an election, this plan would have been changed before it was heard by Community Board 10.
On Tuesday, June 10th, Community Board10 is having a meeting about the Citibike expansion.

Anyone know the story behind this?

June 7, 2025Dear GayRidge – Happy Pride 2025! (Plus Map)
On Sunday, June 8th, GayRidge will hold their fourth annual Pride Celebration at Owl’s Head Park on 68th Street and Shore Road from 12:00 – 5:00 pm.
Congratulations to the organizers of this event! Work is being done at Owl’s Head Park, but they still made it work for the event. Here’s the map on how to get in:
Our area has seen hate towards people in the LGBTQ in the last few years with the burning/removal of pride flags and the destruction of the memorial Pride bench repeatedly on Shore Road. These acts of hate send the wrong message to children and teens.
We hope Pride 2025 is fantastic and we appreciate your advocacy in Bay Ridge!
We Also Appreciate These Bay Ridge Businesses for Acknowledging Pride Month:
1) Caffe Cafe at 8401 – 3rd Avenue is celebrating Pride Month with an updated logo:
Caffe Cafe has a special espresso for Pride Month!
2) Classic Impressions at 9008 3rd Avenue also shared Pride and their new storefront has Pride and Father’s Day items.
3) Regina di Dolce Bakery is giving out free rainbow cookie donuts.
