Senator Steve Chan shared this message: The 62 precinct needs your help. This afternoon at around 3:00 pm, this man was the victim of a bait and switch scam on Bay Parkway around 66th Street.
Two perpetrators took this man’s chain and switched it with a fake.
Officers witnessed this and chased down the perps and got them in custody.
When the cops went back to get the victim, the victim disappeared. If you know him, please contact Senator Chan or the 62 Precinct. 718-236-6211
Great work NYPD! I hope they got the two thieves, who have been doing the bait-and-switch with seniors in this area for a long time.

May 24, 2025Parents Don’t Want the EV Charging Station Near a School in Bay Ridge – Protest June 2, 2025
Parents are angry that an EV charging station is allowed near an elementary school in Bay Ridge.
They are having a protest on June 2nd at 3:30 pm outside of 9201 – 5th Avenue. Please join them if you are against having an EV station at this location.
How was this business approved next to a school? Politicians who don’t have children thought this was a good idea (see Justin Brannan’s social media post).
An EvGo charging station has been planned for 92nd Street and 5th Avenue, across the street from PS 104. Info:
There was a story in the NY Post today. Parents were not told that an EV station was being setup across the street from the school. See story:

May 23, 2025A Week After CB 10’s Meeting, Justin Brannan Responded To 50 New Citibike Docs in BR
If Justin Brannan was a leader in this community still, he would have shared the information about Citibike with the community before the CB 10 meeting.
Brannan probably thought that CB 10 would have a quiet meeting and no one would say anything. People realized that 16 Citibikes at a dock will take two street spaces from their block.
But this must have rattled some people in Brannan’s base. They just realized he hasn’t been representing them and they must have sounded off about not voting for him!
The DOT is taking comments on the Citibike‘s expansion into Bay Ridge. Write to: [email protected].
CB 10 is having another meeting about the bikes on Tuesday, June 10, 2025. *Most of the people on CB 10 do not care about this issue (if they did, they would have shared it with us neighbors!) The meeting is at 7:00 pm at the District Office. If you can’t attend, you can register to speak on their Zoom here:
