Does Community Board 10 Know That Lobbyists are Behind the New Loading Zones That Will Change Parking in Bay Ridge?
Tonight, Tuesday, January 11th, Community Board 10 is having a presentation on the new Neighborhood Loading Zones which will change parking on about 25 blocks in our area.
It’s strange that no elected representative has mentioned this.
Int. 2277 Truck Loading Zones (2021) was passed rather quickly. Strangely, Councilman Justin Brannan never explained this on social media or in his mailings
Councilman Brannan voted in favor of the bill for loading zones.
‘
Justin Brannan also didn’t tell Bay Ridge that he was lobbied by Red Apple Group. (You know who owns Red Apple Group, right?)
The bill passed quickly through City Council during a pandemic year. Isn’t strange that politicians thought that people needed this bill during the pandemic?
The lobbyist used the same number for the bill, but they call it the truck parking bill. ; )
You can see the lobbyist information here by searching for the Client: Red Apple Group. Lobbying Target : Justin Brannan
You can also see some info here.
Will Community Board 10 tell Bay Ridge about this tonight? If someone is in charge of this committee, they should present the history of how these changes came to our neighborhood (many of the members of CB10 were appointed by Brannan)
Sometimes Community Board 10 leaves out important information out.
Why didn’t Justin Brannan stand up against the lobbyists? You will have to ask him.
He’s is making silly graphics, he has the time to hear from you.
Lobbyists have a way of making NYC Council dance.
