NYPD Fatally Shot Man Driving a Stolen Vehicle on the Belt Parkway Near Bath Beach
Around 8:00 pm, a 28-year-old man was shot by the police near Exit 13 on the Belt Parkway. The man was driving a Porche with PA plates that did not match.
Police tried to pull the driver over, but he refused.
Further up the Belt Parkway, other police officers set up a roadblock. The Porche swerved to avoid the roadblock and almost hit an NYPD lieutenant.
The police fired their gun and hit the driver. “The suspect was taken to the hospital where he later died. He was on federal probation for trafficking stolen cars from Pennsylvania to New York.” (Source: https://abc7ny.com/post/brooklyn-nypd-shooting-investigation-underway-man-killed-during-attempt-stop-suspected-stolen-car/16286143/)
The passenger in the Porche was taken into custody.
RIP.

April 30, 2025When Foridun Maulonou Was Killed, No Mom Demanded Action in Brooklyn. No Politicians Took Action
In July 2023, 15-year-old, Foridun Maulonou was shot and killed in Brooklyn. No Moms Demanded Action anywhere in Brooklyn.
Senator Andrew Gounardes won’t tell you that. Andrew loves to take photos, but he didn’t do anything when a 15-year-old was shot on 62nd Street and 20th Avenue in Brooklyn. Info:
https://nypost.com/2023/07/18/boy-15-dies-after-broad-daylight-shooting-in-nyc-cops
Gounardes gave $50,000 of our district’s money to New Yorkers Against Gun Violence. Why didn’t they take action when there was gun violence in Brooklyn. We have never seen them do anything.
Where were these New Yorkers Against Gun Violence? Not one person from that group took action.

April 29, 2025TD Five Boro Bike Tour on Sunday, May 4th
People love the TD Five Boro Bike Tour that is taking place on Sunday, May 4th, except those who need to get around on Sunday! 32,000 people wearing helmets will be participating.
(Click here to see this larger)
This is a 40 mile leisure bike tour through the boroughs.
In our area, the cyclists will be on the highway, but there is a lot of traffic on the streets as cars are diverted to different streets because of the bike tour.
This ride closes the Brooklyn Queens Expressway from Atlantic Ave to over the lower level of the Verrazano Bridge (both ways) from 12:00 am Sunday morning to 7:00 pm.
Streets are open in Bay Ridge, but the Gowanas and the lower level of the Verrazzano Bridge is closed. You can use the upper level of the Verrazzano is open going both ways, but there is a lot of traffic.
The traffic is a mess in Bay Ridge from 1-7 pm. We got caught in it three years ago – traffic was at a standstill on many streets
Since people can’t use the BQE, the streets are jammed – try leave the area very early and return later OR do a local day in Bay Ridge.
Some people asked where they can they watch the TD Bike Tour in Bay Ridge.
Unlike the NYC marathon, the bike tour travels on the Gowanas Expressway to the lower level of the Verrazzano Bridge. You can see the bike riders from the 92nd Street Overpass.

If you have a view of the Gowanas Expressway, you would be able to see the cyclists enjoying their ride.
You can see photos of the ride here.

April 29, 2025Is Community Board 10 Playing Politics?
Who on Community Board 10 is launching this letter writing drama?
Where was this person(s) when Justin Brannan, Andrew Gounardes and CB 10 failed to share information about the homeless shelter on 4th Avenue? Oh yeah Josephine said one sentence about the shelter so CB10 thought that was sufficient?! There was no letter writing campaign started then!
Where were the letter writers when a secret lobbyists was able to make big bucks by putting a school on 86th Street? No letter writing was encouraged then.
And score again:
Where were the letters at Andrew Gounardes for failing to inform the community that afterschool funding was cut by the state last Spring? Gounardes didn’t do anything when the funding was cut!
Where was this person(s) when lobbyists were ruling in our community?
Give us a break CB 10 and talk about real issues in this community (or step down so other people can).

April 29, 2025C-Town is Opening on 5th Ave. in Sunset Park
Photo: Sunset Park Bid
For many years, this location was a Met for many years. It was a half of block away from OLPH Church, so a lot of people would go to church and stop there after church because the prices were good.
For years, the grocery store was closed:
Now a CTown is going to open in this space and Sunset Park residents are hoping for affordable prices.
