The New Bike Lane in Bay Ridge -> Poly Place

Bay Ridge residents complained about the bike lanes on 7th Avenue.

Will bike lanes help on Poly Place, next to the golf course near Poly Prep School?

As we were driving on Poly Place, we saw this street wasn’t designed correctly because the bus is still pulling into the bus stop on Poly Place.

The bus had to pull in the bike lane to get to the bus stop and then pulled out into the last lane on the left and went to the third lane. It doesn’t seem safe to have the bus stop there.

This is Senator Andrew Gounardes district, but he failed to effectively communicate with the community about the changes in this road.

Two years ago, Andrew Gounardes, Justin Brannan and the Captain of the 68th Precinct said they were going to do vertical parking on this street, but the three men failed to do anything here.

David Carr represents this street in NYC Council now. I contacted him and he said: “The DOT wanted to put one there because they generally favor bike lanes and wanted to put one near the park. The DOT also believe it will make it easier to prevent long term tractor trailer parking.”

Carr has been working on removing the trucks and commercial vehicles on Poly Place, which is better than Brannan and Gounardes holding a meeting and then doing nothing.

All of the trees around PS 104 on 5th Avenue and 91st Street are gone.

The area looks bare and ugly without the greenery.

PS 104 is having essential work done on the building. In order to waterproof the foundation, they had to have the trees removed. They are also putting in new gas boiler.

Residents noted that the beautiful lilac trees were missing. Thank God there are people in our community who noticed and cared! Hopefully, some lilac trees will be added when they are done.

I don’t know a lot about Campania Pizzeria on the corner of 99th Street and 4th Avenue.

What I can tell you is that they have the best chicken wings in Bay Ridge. They applied for a roadway cafe that is 8 feet wide and 35 feet long. It will hold 14 tables and 28 seats.

Istanblue Kebab House Opened in Bay Ridge

Istanblue Kebab House opened at 7224 – 5th Avenue. They serve Turkish food 718-238-4080. (See menu)

Hazar used to be in this location. Many Ridgites will miss their combo platter. Hazar didn’t tell us they were closing.

People love plates with rice and kebabs:

Not me – I would rather get some lentil or chicken soup and fresh bread.

Good luck to the new owners!

This corner spot used to belong to Hazar Turkish Kebab. They had amazing bread!

Andrew Gounardes’ Goofy Video on Faith Based Housing – Is This What You Want, Bay Ridge?

Senator Andrew Gounardes pushed Brian Cunningham’s Faith Based Housing Bill in the NYS Senate last year. Neither Gounardes or Cunningham moved the bill out of committee.

Today Andrew Gounardes made this goofy video to entertain the Democrats on social media. But whose this bill really benefitting?

Only 71 people bothered watching the video that Gounardes wasted the day shooting.

Why didn’t Andrew Gounardes work on restoring afterschool programs to families in Brooklyn? (See here)

Most people living near a church would be shocked if the church built an auxiliary dwelling next to their home. There are no churches next to the Gounardes’ home, so that’s why Andrew doesn’t care!

We saw Andrew Gounardes promote Get Around Car Sharing in Brooklyn. Gounardes acted as if Get Around was a well-established company that was going to make people safe. (Yes, Gounardes said that here)

People in our community lost parking spots.

Andrew Gounardes never shared that he was working with Get Around! Get Around shared pics! (See here)

Even with free parking all around Brooklyn, Get Around Company folded. Andrew Gounardes does not understand business and should have been a government representative – not a business representative!
