June 1, 2024Update on the Parrot – The Bird Received Water
A Bay Ridge resident named Anne was able to give the parrot at 8711 – 5th Avenue water yesterday! She has limited access and is stopping in with fresh water.
The bird has not been moved yet. The tenants were moving a cat and bird and then something happened and just the cat was moved.
Thank you to all the Brooklyn residents who called for help for the parrot.
I am surprised that the 68th Precinct did not help (yes, I called the precinct). I was surprised Senator Andrew Gounardes did not take action for the bird.
We were surprised that calling 311 didn’t help. Our report and someone else’s were closed and they both said that the police did not see a violation. SMH.

Last year, Brannan said that he and Senator Gounardes were “going to get creative and close illegal cannabis shops.” That didn’t happen. Only one shop was closed and it re-opened.
Senator Gounardes didn’t do anything!
When someone asked Brannan to not put it on 4th Avenue and 86th Street, Brannan responded:
Other NYC Councilmembers went around their neighborhoods with the sheriff. Many shared it online:

May 31, 2024Dealerships Parking on the Sidewalk in Bay Ridge
Three years ago, Bay Ridge resident, Carol Langdon was killed as a car pulled out of a dealership. (Info) The Volkswagon dealership told Bay Ridge they would not have vehicles parked on the sidewalk any longer.
Other dealerships, like this BMW dealership on 4th Avenue and 93rd Street are using the sidewalk as their parking lot. (Photo above)
United Jeep dealership on 5th Avenue and 88th Street also parks cars on the sidewalk. (Photo above was taken two weeks ago). Many people don’t appreciate the Jeep SUV blocking the crosswalk.
Bay Ridge, elect leaders who are in the neighborhood and care about people’s safety.
