Xaverian Adds Safety Measures Around Their School
Xaverian High School at 7100 Shore Road is doing construction to add a new extension to their school. They have added some safety measures to keep their students safe and also help with traffic in the area.
Tonight, Xaverian presented the safety measures they are taking to Community Board 10:
a) Xaverian staggered dismissal. The middle school students at Xaverian leave from 2:15 – 2:20 pm. The high school students leave at 2:30 pm. The administration is already seeing the benefit of this.
b) Xaverian rented parking spaces from Propark for their faculty and have a shuttle bus to take the teachers from the parking area to the school (as well as return the faculty to their cars at the end of the day).
c) Xaverian added crossing guards at dismissal (see the blue circles on the map above).
d) A site safety manager is at the school every day – all day.
e) Two teachers, administrators or staff members will be on each block to help students move along at dismissal – on the map above the faculty are the red triangles on the map.
Many Xaverian students leave by bus, so it is very busy around the school at dismissal for 15 minutes.
The construction project at Xaverian should take 16-18 months (which is less than originally planned – at two years).

May 31, 2026Men Hurt By Fireworks at Ben Vitale Ballfield
This morning there was a loud explosion at Ben Vitale Ballfield (see gold circle on the map below for this ballfield). The explosion shook the ground of the area around the ballfield. People in the neighborhood thought the explosion came from the Fort Hamilton Army Base.

Assemblyman Alec Brook-Krasny shared the four men are between 18 and 20-years-old and all four were treated at the hospital.
Outside the ballfield were many ambulances, police cars and firetrucks. Parents at the adjacent baseball field shared about this.

May 30, 202659-Year-Old Woman Raped at Kaiser Park in Coney Island at 8:30 am on Tuesday, May 26th
On Tuesday, May 26th at 8:30 am, a woman was raped at Kaiser Park on Bayview and Neptune Avenues in Coney Island. News:
https://shorturl.at/4ctp9
The 59-year-old woman was walking through the park and a man threw her to the ground. She tried to fight him off. He raped her and ran away. Please pray for this woman, who must be in shock that she wasn’t safe in a park in broad daylight.
Assemblyman Brook-Krasny shared this:
I’m surprised Councilwoman Kayla Santosuosso, who represents Coney Island and Bay Ridge didn’t share information about the rapist, who is still at large. If Santosuosso is on maternity leave, her staffer, Chris McCreight should have shared the perp’s picture and issued a warning to the women in Coney Island by now!
