Below Ridge Blvd Was Saved From the City of Yes
Councilman Justin Brannan excluded homes West of Ridge Blvd and Southwest from Marine Avenue in Bay Ridge from the City of Yes. (Shown in pink on the map below)
That includes Justin’s home of course. #Typical Justin Brannan.
City and State’s article says Brannan was the only politician in Southern Brooklyn and one of the few outer borough politicians who supported the City of Yes. (See article)
Justin Brannan knows he is a lousy councilman. He is also a cowardly man. He begins speaking at 21:40 on this video and says, “We landed at a decent place on the City of Yes thanks mostly to your feedback so have a great holiday.”
At this point in the meeting, Josephine Beckman, the manager of Community Board 10 should have shared the truth about what happened with the City of Yes. But she sat there and clapped.
And smiled.
Half of the community was left out and no one on Community Board 10 said the truth at the meeting. Are they that callous?
Josephine and the CB 10 members that knew should resign! We can see they no longer represent this community.
It’s sad that our neighbors on Community Board 10 didn’t fight for the community of Bay Ridge. They were only fighting for their block not to be included.
Regular people in the community – please think about running for the city council office because we need a real representative that can advocate for the whole community, not just themselves.
Hugs,
