One of our neighbors had her package stolen.
She shared the video because she wanted others to know about this crafty package thief. (Thank you!)
The thief got out of her small, white car and walked up to the house with a package.

June 28, 2021Residents Petition Against the 84th Street Bike Lane
Remember Justin Brannan’s override of Community Board 10 to put bike lanes in Bay Ridge in Dyker Heights? (See here)
Well Dyker Heights residents aren’t happy with where the bike lanes were put. Today I saw they had a petition and this message on social media:
This bike lane runs along the street where there are many driveways in front of residential homes. The petition contends that there is a potential disaster and very unsafe conditions for both cyclists and automobile drivers.
Sadly, our City Councilman didn’t request covered bike lanes to protect the community and the children who live here.
If you don’t like the 84th Street bike lane or want to show support for the resident who live there and have to deal with it, fill out the petition here.
Ten years ago, my student died while riding her bike slightly outside of the area – 62nd and 21st Avenue. (See here – read the comments – five years after her death, her friends were able to drive to NJ and go to her grave).
I will always advocate for covered bike lanes because no parent should receive their news that their child died on the street, especially since it can be avoided. An no community should need to mourn the loss of a child when it is preventable.

Some young teens drew a swastika on a tree in Bay Ridge. They know its a group of young teens because they have video of the incident.
Assemblywoman Mathylde Frontus responded:
I was furious to learn from the 68th Precinct that a swastika had been sighted in BR. I can’t keep track of how many times anti Semitic graffiti reared its ugly head across Southern Brooklyn. It’s shameful and it is crucial that we reject it at every turn.https://t.co/9pDwmHv8Y6

The tree is outside a family’s home (with children).
The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force are investigating. (NY Daily News)
A swastika has two out of four politicians speaking out against it. Antisemitism is always wrong! Last Summer, it took Brannan a week to respond to a hate video. (See here)
