Free Tree Giveaways Are Back in NYC – Register

Before the pandemic, NYC gave away a million trees. Now a similar initiative is giving away trees from April 16th through May. They have several locations to pick up from in Brooklyn.

Years ago, we got a magnolia trees from a Staten Island location – they are better organized. There’s one in Staten Island on May 8th.

When you get there, everyone lines up and then people pick the type of tree that they want. They had a lot of nice ones when we went.

Choose the date and location to register for a tree here.

Senator Gounardes, Bay Ridge Doesn’t Need Staged Political Photo Ops – We Need People Who Will Take Action

On Sunday morning, Senator Gounardes wanted to have a rally outside the 86th Street train station.

Why were only three adults at the rally? People didn’t know about it because Gounardes and Brannan didn’t advertise the rally on their social media and neither did the Riders Alliance.

An out-of-district website carried the story about the rally – see here.

Riders Alliance must have thought this was nonsense because hardly anyone showed up. The trains are a wreck and Riders Alliance hasn’t been active in Bay Ridge since the last election.

Pathetically, we can see Councilman Justin Brannan nodding in the video. Years ago, Brannan would have mocked pandering politicians for this type of display. Justin Brannan knows better than to pander.

Gounardes and Brannan are friends with Mayor Adams – they should have gone to dinner or rallied near the Mayor’s office. There is no reason to stand on 86th Street giving a speech.

The reality of the R train is that a mobile homeless shelter pulls into the station each morning. Train riders have to step over urine and find a car without homeless people in.

Mayor Adams may have ejected the homeless from other trains, but the R train hotel is still occupied.

The R train will stop running from 36th Street to 95th Street on the weekends starting Easter weekend.

It’s ridiculous that people are visiting and doing things with their family and the train won’t be available for them on a holiday weekend.

Gounardes should have secured express bus transfers for Bay Ridge residents, so they aren’t inconvenienced. Andrew doesn’t celebrate Easter then, so he doesn’t care who needs the subway then.
