Proof That Lobbyists Won in Bay Ridge
This is ta new Citibike rack on Shore Road and 91st Street – it is across the street from Shore Hill Housing for seniors.
There was plenty of room on the sidewalk for Lyft to install the rack.
There’s room for Citibikes and for parking…not one or the other. Should there be 48 stations in one small community? No, unless these stations are being used (which many aren’t).
Two blocks away is another Citibike setup.

March 13, 2026Thankful for Andrea & Another Kind Brooklynite
This dog was walking alone today in our neighborhood. Andrea saw him while she was walking her dog and quickly called for someone to grab him.
These Brooklynites didn’t know this dog, but they didn’t hesitate to help him. They brought him into their home, took a photo and shared it on social media. The owner quickly retrieved the dog from Andrea.
I’m so grateful there are kind people in our neighborhood, who would immediately help a dog and even bring the dog into their home to keep him safe.

While Steve Chan is not my senator, I am always impressed with the way he stands up for his community while in Albany.
Senator Chan spoke out about the cost of living, high utility bills, uninsured motorists.
If Senator Chan represents you, be sure to vote for him in November because he is the real deal.
