Thirty-Seven Semi Trucks Removed From Around the Golf Course By Councilman David Carr
Thirty-seven semi trucks were removed from Poly Place and around the golf course! (See the 68th Precinct’s photos here)
Gerrymandering Bay Ridge brought us a much better Councilman from Staten Island. Councilman David Carr represents Poly Place. For years, Councilman Brannan and Senator Gounardes couldn’t solve the problem of the illegally parked commercial vehicles around the park.
Councilman Carr also comes to Brooklyn every month and hears residents concerns. Follow David Carr on Facebook here to see when he will be in Brooklyn next.
