Iwen Chu Knew Last November About the Homeless Shelter on 86th Street and Failed to Tell the Community
Councilman Brannan and Senator Iwen Chu received notice about the homeless shelter on 86th Street last November and failed to share that information with the community. Who do they represent?
This Summer, Iwen Chu pretended to care, but why didn’t she share the information about the shelter with the people in November 2023 when she received notice?

Changes at Poly Place – An Improvement
We headed home through Poly Place because we heard some changes were made. There is a huge illuminated sign before the turn to warn people about the changes. They sectioned off the corner of the street (the orange barriers pictured above are across from the army base entrance on Poly place).
Poly Place has improved since the changes were made to this street. Hopefully, this will keep people safe.
There are still many commercial trucks that should not be on the street.
PS – Notice the beautiful trees before the season passes!

Wonder is Coming to 75th Street & 5th Avenue
Photo: Jeffrey D.(Source)
Work began on the building on the corner of 75th Street and 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge. Jeffrey shared the photo above. What is this new building going to be?
It’s going to be a food hall restaurant called Wonder. It will the last week of January. They are offering $15 off your meal. (See here)
Mark Lore, former president of Walmart e-commerce purchased recipes from well-known restaurants and chefs, like Bobby Flay. People will be able to get food from 15-25 different restaurants at this one location. (Click here to see the choices at the Wonder in Downtown Bklyn)
(Sign up here) to be alerted when they open for business.
This fast-dining restaurant will allow people to place their orders on an app or at one of the kiosk machines. (See the website)
There is a Wonder Restaurant in Park Slope and one in Downtown Brooklyn as well. People like Wonder because everyone can get the food they like and sit together or get takeout from multiple eateries. Many people like the salads available at Wonder!
For our neighborhood, this is a good addition, especially on that location because Rite Aid closed a long time ago and the building has been vacant.
Good luck to the new owners! *Bay Ridge, when it opens, grab they app because they give specials and rewards. The NY Times wrote that Lore was trying to make “the Amazon of fast food” with his Wonder Restaurants. (Info) Good for him!

CB 10 Meeting – October 21, 2024 – Why Won’t They Discuss the Homeless Shelter?
It’s another Community Board 10 Meeting that we call: See no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. Local issues are ignored and not resolved.
On Monday, October 21st, there is a Community Board 10 Meeting at 7:00 pm at the Bay Ridge Center at 15 Bay Ridge Avenue at 7:00 pm.
Notice that CB 10’s agenda does not include: the homeless shelter at 6530 – 4th Avenue. Last November, Josephine said one sentence about the shelter and then never spoke about it again. Not one member of CB 10 asked for more information.
Josephine had the information about the shelter since November 9, 2023. Why didn’t Josephine share the information from the letter she received with the community? Josephine was aware that the shelter was for 105 people.
Click the letter to see the entire letter.
While Justin Brannan said the homeless shelter was for Veterans and it won’t open until 2025, the letter says it is for 105 people and will open in late 2024.
Justin Brannan received this letter on November 9, 2023 as well.
Why didn’t Brannan share it with the people who live in The Towers?
Click on the letter to see read the whole document.
Justin Brannan didn’t tell the community because it was election season. Why didn’t Josephine share the letter with the residents that lived in the towers?
This is all that Josephine said:

Transcribed:
Community board 10 was notified by the Department of Social Services that a homeless shelter will be constructed at 4th Avenue. Um we were just notified by Department of Social Services and we’llbe reaching out to the agent agency and the service provider um at an upcoming committee meeting to learn more information about that location.
Josephine had a lot more information – why did she and Community Board 10 withhold that?
Why didn’t Josephine or the members of Community Board 10 provide that letter (or the contents) to the community?
On the shelter’s document it says that different people will be at the shelter every 30 days:
The Mayor made thirty days is the limit for the migrant shelters:
*If you noticed, construction has been halted at the homeless shelter site. Did they discover something while they demolishing the old building?
Other items Community Board 10 has not shared information on:
1) The high school on Ovington Avenue has not been discussed by Community Board 10. The Community was left with many unanswered questions. CB 10 voted against this location because there were problems. The school construction authority was unable to answer a lot of questions including why that property was chosen over the bank on 4th Avenue. Why didn’t Josephine get answers for the community?
2) Shore Hill – the developer won in NYC Council. How did the developer win when NYC Council usually defers to the Council representative from the area?
3) Was the sewer on 10 Avenue in the 80’s fixed, so that people’s homes aren’t flooded? Why hasn’t a resolution been announced yet?
4) Even the people requesting pickleball courts didn’t receive a response or help.
