Truck Route For 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge – Politicians Silent As Usual
Someone at the EDC thought thought putting a truck route down 3rd Avenue would be a good idea. (See News)
Did you hear Senator Gounardes speak out about this?
No, me either! Silent Gounardes doesn’t do much to help this community and once again leadership is going to barrel over him. (We’re on the 3rd year with Gounardes and he hasn’t done a thing about property taxes.)
Justin Brannan hasn’t been a good leader for Bay Ridge for several years. He’s supported developers and changes have been made in favor of developers, which has left Bay Ridge open to other changes. In the paper, he is quoted as saying that the plan was “dead on arrival.” If it’s dead on arrival, why is it in the paper, Councilman?
*Councilman Brannan also said a hotel wasn’t coming to Bay Ridge and a hotel is going to be built in Bay Ridge!
The fact that this issue wasn’t spoken about by ANY elected leader already says we have a problem in representation!
3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge is quite a bit different than 3rd Avenue in Sunset Park so it’s interesting that any elected leader would think that was the “ideal” place for a truck route. And now Third Ave is pretty crowded with all of the outdoor dining (and don’t complain because these businesses need to make some money!)
I guess someone is looking to destroy the small businesses in Bay Ridge. No one who understood this area or small businesses would think this was a good idea. The last thing Bay Ridge needs is a truck route!
