12/31 am
— Brian (@BrianSullivan96) December 31, 2024
The #RTrain from #BayRidge rolls into #59th street and this is the scene. @agounardes & @JustinBrannan have willfully ignored their districts@NYCDHS doesn't even show up anymore@rosannascotto@ViralNewsNYC@nypost@CurtisSliwa@queenoftheclick@ABC7NY@NBCNYDigital pic.twitter.com/3Su0iEEbMB
Senator Andrew Gounardes spent most of the year pushing Congestion Pricing for groups.
Yet, Gounardes refuses to help the people riding the R train. Bay Ridge residents have asked him repeatedly and he will not help them. Gounardes only goes to the station when he wants to hand out flyers to campaign.

December 31, 2024Ridgite’s Dog Attacked – $20,000 Bill – GoFundMe
On December 26th, Poodle (that’s the dog’s name) was attacked by another dog on 5th Avenue and 88th Street in Bay Ridge at 6:15 pm.
The 71-year-old man, who was walking Poodle, tried to get Poodle away from the other dog. He was bit by the other dog.
The man went to the hospital for stitches. Poodle was brought to a vet in Brooklyn.
The dog had to be taken to Manhattan to have emergency surgery because he was bitten in the abdomen.
The cost was $20,000, half had to be paid before they did surgery (and half when he is discharged). A GoFundMe was set up here – they need $8,000).
Some kind business owners in the area helped provide video of the area to Poodle’s owner. She is asking for help in identifying the man or the other dog. (See here)
The other dog appears to be mostly black with white around his neck, undercarriage and paws.
