May 23, 2025Traffic in Bay Ridge Caused By the New School, Congestion Pricing and Bridge Work
The traffic was backed up from the bridge to around 70th Street in Bay Ridge yesterday around 2:45 pm – 3:30 pm – down to Dyker Heights in the mid-80’s.
If you are coming from Dyker Heights around this time, avoid 86th Street. The new school on 86th Street and 7th Avenue has a crossing guard that stops traffic when the light is green because the children need to be safe. This prevents cars from making a right tune on 86th Street. The left lane turn only prevents anyone to pass.
Congestion Pricing has forced more cars onto Brooklyn streets because people the only way to get from Brooklyn to New Jersey without going through Manhattan is by taking the route through Staten Island, which puts more traffic on the Verrazzano Bridge.
This week, they were working on the fence on the Upper and Lower Verrazzano Bridge. Any traffic problem on the bridge causes a traffic problem in Bay Ridge.
Update: Baby falcons were born on the top of the bridge and they went up there to see them and News 12 filmed it, so this may have slowed things down yesterday. See story:
Why aren’t the police doing anything about the traffic? There were no police cars around. And there are no police officers in unmarked cars because the police wouldn’t sit in traffic.

A 20-year-old man shot himself in the abdomen on Thursday at 5:30 pm on West 8th Street (outside the NYCHA Development).
Video showed that another man stole his gun before the police arrived. How awful!

May 22, 2025Message About the Dirty Park Gets No Response From Politicians – What Else is New?
We need to elect someone, who will assign a person on their staff to ride around the district and make sure the Parks Dept is taking care of things. There has to be someone who likes to ride by car or bike (who cares!) and look at the parks each week.
Yes, there are some people who mess it up, but most people don’t.

The Hall of Fame Billiards at 505 Ovington Avenue (off 5th Avenue) was supposed to become a supermarket.
On the Department of Buildings website, there is paperwork for a two-story commercial building with three meters.
The pool hall has been closed for over five years now. The people living around this area must be glad to see the new building.
