Why Didn’t Community Board 10 in Bay Ridge Have the Courage to Speak Up Like Community Board 10 in the Bronx?
Public property in Bay Ridge was given to GetAround Car Sharing Company. Community Board 10 looks like they did a lot better job of standing up for the neighborhood. (See here)
Bay Ridge already has at least two car-sharing companies that pay for their own parking, where Century’s Department Store Parking used to be.
Community Board 10 didn’t do their homework – they never mentioned these companies. Community Board 10 also didn’t disclose that the Brooklyn Borough President had been lobbied by GetAround Car Service. That information is made public for a reason! (See here)
Finally, Senator Andrew Gounardes was promoting GetAround, even though they hadn’t done business in NYC. (See video) Gounardes won’t even promote a Bay Ridge business that opened near his office. (See here)
Gounardes should have answered Community Board 10’s question, “Why was only one company presenting to CB 10?”
Have the guts to speak up Community Board 10 members – no private company should be using our community like this!
