We all should have heard from Kayla during the Summer – not during Labor Day weekend when everyone is relaxing with their family and friends.

Are Animals Being Poisoned on 16th Ave and 86th St.?
A cat colony with twenty-six cats had only one cat come out when the feeder stopped by yesterday.
Todaym so far nine dead cats were found under a nearby deck. Their bodies were taken out tonight by some good Brooklynites. The cats aren’t your typical skinny, scrappy street cats. All of these cats are pretty – they are well-fed and have beautiful fur.
It is believed the cats were intentionally poisoned. How heart-breaking for these people caring for these cats for years. They don’t just feed the cats, they also bring them to the vet (TNR).
Senator Steve Chan was contacted and the police are investigating. The news was also contacted.
Senator Steve Chan shared this:
There are other areas in our neighborhood where cats have gone missing since the Summer as well.

How Did Verg Allow Owl To Leave In Such Bad Shape?
Owl is doing well because some great Ridgites brought the dog to Second Chance Rescue. Today Owl left the hospital and will be available for adoption soon. Info: https://shorturl.at/JF4W4
If you don’t know Owl’s Story, Owl was an emaciated dog found near Owl’s Head Park at the end of August. More info: https://shorturl.at/Bo93f
If you are following the story about Owl, you know that Owl was first brought to Verg. Verg told the Ridgites that it would be $5000. They left Verg and went to a vet that works for Second Chance Rescue.
Verg let a dog in such bad shape leave them. Yes, I understand they are a business and need to be paid. But they are also a community vet and they jump in to save this dog.
I’m an animal lover – I have always owned a dog. When a person brings a pet from the street to the vet I use, the vet cuts the bill. I know because he did it for us. We didn’t ask him to cut the bill – he cut the bill in half because he knew we were trying to help a cat that was living on the street and he wanted to also.
I’m disappointed that Verg doesn’t care for animals who are in terrible shape – it’s heartless that they allowed Owl to leave their facility that night. Owl was in such bad shape and Ridgites came though, but Verg #failed

Lyft Made 25 Million From Citibikes Last Year
When you vote this November, remember that Andrew Gounardes made a video for Citibikes after they added docks to our neighborhood. That’s a 13-fold increase in profits since 2023.
The mostly full racks store Citibikes because most riders around here own their own bikes. Citibike’s rates are too high for students.

It was an amazing place and I celebrated with a lot of great people there.

Five-Year-Old Hit By Teen on Bike at Russell Pedersen Park in Bay Ridge
On Sunday, September 7th around 5:00 pm, a 5-year-old boy was hit by a teen riding on a motorized bike in Russell Pedersen Park in Bay Ridge.
The teenager claimed the 5-year-old hit into him. He then left the park.
The child was taken to the emergency room and thankfully he is okay.
The Police took the information from the parent, but then they left the park. They didn’t investigate more at the park or talk to the teens still at the park.
The local parks need to be safe for children and their families. This parent shared this because the motarized bikes are also at other parks and at the Fort Hamilton track. This is usual there:

Ripping Corners & Sidewalks Apart in Bay Ridge
Over the weekend a senior fell on this corner – Marine Avenue and 4th Avenue.
The corners are being done to help disabled individuals so that’s good, but the money wasted and this long process are horrible.
The corners been chopped up for two weeks now. There is no leadership in our area – no politicians are telling them not to leave jobs a wreck in Bay Ridge.
When they are done and they cement, the cement jobs have not been good. One Ridgite noted that there is a large ridge (that is to the right of the expansion joint in the photo above.

Another Accident – Two Blocks From Where The Nurse Was Killed on 3rd Ave. Andrew Gounardes Failed To Take Action
This collision happened on 3rd Avenue and 53rd Street. The photo was shared by Sanitation Hunter, who records crime/events in Sunset Park.
Photo: Sanitation Hunter
This location is two blocks from where Jiayi Zheng was killed on 3rd Avenue and 55th Street.
How many people have to die or be hurt before Senator Andrew Gounardes takes action? The road is a serious problem and something needs to be changed because it is dangerous. By now Gounardes should have called for this Avenue to be closed and reviewed by experts.
This area has been a known problem since July 2025 when Faqiu Lin, 59 and Kex Un Chen, 80 were killed by a hit and run driver. News:

In 2023, this was the number 5 hotspot for traffic collisions in NYC. See:

We need a new leader, who can take action for our district. Lobbyists from Transalt don’t care about our streets. Lobbyists from Citibike don’t care either.
