March 2, 2025Parking Removed For the Yeshiva on 12th Ave.
Sign over the door of the new yeshiva
Residents were not happy to see ‘No Parking ‘signs had been put up on 12th Avenue between 63rd and 64th Streets, as well as on 63rd Street.
These spots will be needed for buses for the new yeshiva, Talmud Torah Dchasidei Gur, which is opening at Angel Guardian Home.

Cars will be able to park on 12th Avenue after 7:00 pm, but they will need to move before 7:00 every day, but Saturday. The all boys high school will be open on Sunday.
Due to gerrymandered districts, Alexa Aviles represents this area in NYC Council and has not communicated with these residents. They should have received notice about the signs so they don’t get ticketed for parking there. I don’t think Aviles realizes this is part of this district.

In September, Mesa Charter High School 2 will open around the corner at 1222 – 63rd Street. (Info) This area is going to get a lot busier.

March 2, 2025Tree on Bliss Court Raised The Sidewalk – Councilman Brannan Couldn’t Help
This sidewalk on Bliss Court is going to cause someone to be seriously hurt.
The home owners reached out to Councilman Brannan for years and he hasn’t been able to help her.
The city should have removed the tree and replaced the sidewalk by now. I submitted it for the NYC trees and sidewalk program (see here).
