Politicians and police are silent – no one is warning the community or people who live near Colonial Road and Wakeman???

Avoid Parking on Shore Rd From 88th St to The Gazebo – Lights Out – Thieves with Flashlights
A nice Bay Ridge resident gave the community a warning about parking on Shore Road, while many street lights are out. Last night, a car was vandalized around 2:00 am o, Shore Road.
The resident noted that multiple street lights are out on Shore Road from 88th Street to the gazebo (possibly due to the sewer line work that has been going on for several weeks).
Last night, the Bay Ridge resident saw someone with a flashlight trying to get into cars, while it was pitch black out. The resident called 911 to report the theives. They also reported the street light outages to 311.
Today, a detective from the 68th Precinct called the nice person who reported the thief. The detective told her that the guy smashed out the car windows and ripped apart the inside of the car. The police notified the owner. We are sorry that someone had to get this news about their car.
They gave the community a heads up: If you park your car on Shore Road between 88th St and the Gazeb,o be aware that all the lights are out and the vandals and theives are taking full advantage.

Another Cannabis Shop for CB 10’s Meeting on 11/17 – Safety Issues Do Not Make the Agenda
Community Board 10 will have a meeting tomorrow night at 7:00 pm at The Bay Ridge Center at 15 Bay Ridge Avenue.
Last week, a man attempted to rape another man on Shore Road. Five weeks ago, two teens that attend Xaverian High School were hit by a car on Narrows Avenue. Yet, neither of these issues make it to CB 10’s meeting agenda for tomorrow?!
Also not on the agenda: the flooding of Dyker Heights homes on 10th Avenue – when will it be fixed so the residents don’t have to keep clearing water from their basements?
But there is plenty of time to talk about another cannabis shop.
