Long-Awaited Rendering of BQE ‘Parallel Highway’ Plan Released

DOT Mulling Brooklyn Heights Association Proposal The Brooklyn Heights Association has released a rendering of its alternative to the city’s controversial plan to temporarily replace the landmarked Heights Promenade with a six-lane highway. The proposal, dubbed the “Parallel Highway” by BHA, can be seen to the right on this rendering. The plan was conceived by Heights-based Marc Wouters Studios. See page 2.

Rendering of BQE ‘Parallel Highway’ Plan Released DOT Mulling Brooklyn Heights Association Proposal

The Brooklyn Heights Association has released a rendering of its alternative to the city’s controversial plan to replace the landmarked Heights Promenade with a six-lane highway.

The Promenade plan, preferred by the NYC Department of Transportation, would temporarily raise the interstate — and its pollution — to neighborhood street level during the six- to eight-year $3.4 billion reconstruction of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE).

The BHA’s alternate plan, dubbed the “Parallel Highway,” was conceived by Heights-based Marc Wouters Studios. It would move traffic to a temporary two-level structure west of the existing triple cantilever, rather than atop the popular landmarked walkway.

Map courtesy of Marc Wouters Studios As previously reported by this paper, experts warn that running the highway over the Promenade could bring the toxic particulate matter released by the 153,000 trucks and cars a day to Brooklyn Heights, affecting the health of residents for years.

In the BHA’s Parallel Highway plan, the six lanes of traffic — three in each direction — would remain below the Promenade level.

A DOT spokesperson told the Heights Press on Wednesday that the agency is “continuing to work with elected officials, the community, and all local stakeholders on the entire project corridor to hear their input.”

Another community group working with BHA on an alternative plan, A Better Way NYC, came out recently with a rendering showing the Promenade highway running above the ramp to the Brooklyn Bridge pedestrian walkway. (See brooklyneagle.com to view this rendering.)

DOT told the Heights Press on Wednesday that both DOT’s temporary Promenade plan and the plan presented by the BHA “involve building a structure that passes above the Brooklyn Bridge approach.”

The spokesperson added, “While the two plans do not exactly match each other, they can serve as a basis of the informed discussion that will take place as part of the environmental review process, in which we will review a range of concepts.”

BHA met on Nov. 19 with DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg, engineers and officials to present their plan. The rendering of the design, however, was not released to the public at that time due to technical issues.

The design submitted by BHA offers several advantages, the group said at that time.

“In addition to avoiding the terrible impacts of DOT’s Promenade Highway on numerous residential buildings along Columbia Heights, as well as on 360 Furman, the concept offers other advantages, such as various construction techniques that could accelerate the project’s completion,” BHA said.

The alternative design would impact Brooklyn Bridge Park’s noise-attenuating berms — steep, grass-covered hills — to some extent, but would not affect the park’s usable space, BHA said.

On the downside, the alternative design would entail more temporary lane closures at certain locations than DOT’s preferred plan, making traffic management techniques necessary.

The city also considered another plan that would repair the BQE section by section. DOT says this approach, called the traditional method, would take up to eight years to accomplish, as opposed to roughly six years for the Promenade plan, and would reroute more traffic onto local streets.

DOT: Alternative plans for BQE reconstruction can serve as a basis of ‘informed discussion’

An Open Letter on the BQE-Promenade Plan A Better Way NYC — a grassroots group focused on the environmental, economic and community impact of repairing the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway — has called on local officials to “force” the city Department of Transportation to engage with the community on its plan to replace the Brooklyn Heights Promenade with a temporary six-lane highway. The rehabilitation of the decrepit BQE from Sands Street to Atlantic Avenue would take six to eight years.

Below is an excerpt from the organization’s letter to officials, released last Tuesday.

••• Dear Elected Officials, As representatives of A Better Way NYC, a grassroots group of concerned citizens, we are writing to thank you for participating in last week’s BQE rally hosted by New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer, the Brooklyn Heights Association and our organization. It was heartening to see our local elected officials stand with us, especially in the cold, to express concerns about the City’s failure to adequately engage with our community in regards to this monumental undertaking.

We are writing today to ask you to become our champions – to take a bold stand and demonstrate the leadership that will be required to ensure that

our concerns, which are shared broadly across the community, are fully integrated into the City’s design and construction of the BQE Project.

More specifically, we are calling on you to take three clear steps: • Force DOT to engage the local community about health, environmental, and noise concerns • Support the creation of a new Community Advisory Board • Lead New State-City-Community Engagement As discussed when we met in November, the DOT’s proposal to replace the Brooklyn Heights Promenade with an elevated, six-lane highway for a minimum of six years during rehabilitation of the BQE (the “Promenade Highway”) was formulated hastily and behind closed doors. The DOT appears to have developed both of its two proposals for the BQE Project with little substantive input from the community or the countless stakeholders who live, work or go to school near the BQE, utilize the BQE to commute, or will be impacted by the BQE Project in other ways. This lack of transparency and community involvement is clearly evidenced, has not abated and represents a clear failure of civic The DOT’s proposed plan would replace the beloved Brooklyn Heights Promenade, duty.

Fortis to Present Plan for Revamped Park at Former LICH Site

Fortis will be submitting their redesign for a revamped public park at the former Long Island College Hospital (LICH) complex in Cobble Hill at a meeting on Thursday, Feb. 7. The Cobble Hill Association, which says it remains “skeptical,” is urging residents to attend. Fortis has posted an initial rendering of the park on its sales website (above), but any redesign must get input from the public first.

Cobble Hill Association Wary

By Mary Frost Brooklyn Heights Press

Fortis Property Group will be presenting a redesign for one of several parks on the former Long Island College Hospital (LICH) complex in Cobble Hill at a meeting on Thursday, Feb. 7.

According to the 1995 agreement between LICH and the city establishing the parks, Fortis, which won the bid to redevelop the LICH campus after years of lawsuits and opposition, must get input from the public on its proposed redesign.

The park (“Henry Street III”) has traditionally been used as a “sitting” or passive park, as opposed to two parks across Henry Street, which are active playgrounds. It has been out of commission for much of the past two years

during the development of 347 Henry St. (what Fortis has dubbed 5 River Park), according to the Cobble Hill Association, which is sponsoring the meeting.

“We are always skeptical when it comes to Fortis Property Group,” CHA President Amy Breedlove told the Brooklyn Heights Press on Wednesday.

"The past conduct that has gotten us to this public meeting speaks volumes in dealing with Fortis, not just for the CHA but also the city agencies, in this case Parks Department and the elected officials,” she added.

Breedlove said that CHA complained of park and playground maintenance issues at a Construction Period Task Force Meeting last year around October.

Most notable was the constant pooling of water in Henry Street III, she said.

“The issue was to be corrected after the closure during demolition of the former LICH buildings [at] 347 Henry St.,” Breedlove said.

“In that same meeting Fortis informed the Parks Department and Councilmember [Brad] Lander that the park would again be closed for an extended period of 18 months or more for the erection of the new building. The questions were asked: why they did not have a plan for the remedy of the substructure or park floor, and why they continue to take away a public asset with no thought to fixing, maintaining or upgrading?”

The Parks Department has since asked for a bond of $25,000 and commitment to properly fixing and upgrading the park, she added.

CHA has also complained that Fortis has failed to replace damaged or missing play equipment in the playgrounds and fix protrusions in the play surface in the parks across the street from Henry Street III. CHA has heard from members of the com-

munity “that they want to be able to read, meditate and relax or enjoy a meal in this space,” Breedlove said, adding that “green and lush plantings” would make the space feel “less like a park at the base of a large apartment building — which it will be — without losing any usable square footage for larger tables and comfortable seating.”

Fortis has placed a rendering of the re-envisioned park, at the northwest corner Henry and Pacific streets, on its sales website. However, any changes to Henry Street III, which remains public, must be done by the city with input from the public. This is the first meeting where Fortis is engaging the public on the design.

Next Thursday’s meeting will be conducted in a break-out session format in order to get public feedback, Breedlove said.

The meeting will take place at the Brooklyn Heights Montessori School (in Cobble Hill) in the Firehouse Theater, 9 Bergen St. (between Court Street and Boerum Place).

BRIEFS: The Value of Land: Analysis Uses Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights as Examples

By Raanan Gerberer Brooklyn Heights Press

When analyzing a new study by the Federal Housing Finance Agency that examines the ramifications of land value, the Washington Post used two upscale Brooklyn neighborhoods as examples.

The reason an acre of residential land in Brooklyn Heights or Park Slope costs about 7,500 times as much as an acre in Western Arkansas or Northern South Carolina is de-

mand – the two Brooklyn neighborhoods are close to the subway, food-co-ops and highpaying jobs. Areas like the Slope or the Heights also “tend to have higher taxes and zoning restrictions,” the Washington Post reported.

Nationwide, according to the federal study, the value of the land tends to appreciate faster than the structures on them. “When housing demand changes, you can build more structures but you can’t build more land,” the Post quotes William Larson, one of the authors of the study, as saying.

The areas with the most valuable land also saw their land values grow fastest, the study says. “And those differences are responsible for many of the trends in inequality which have defined their era,” the Post reported.

BACK PAGE • Brooklyn Heights Press • Thursday, January 31, 2019

The Post also quoted Joseph Stiglitz, a Columbia University economist, as saying that income generated by land accrues primarily to the person lucky enough to own it, whether

they build a house there or use it as a rental property. Therefore, “there can be an increase in the value of land, without any increase in the productive potential of the economy.”

DUMBO, Brooklyn Heights Among City’s Healthiest Neighborhoods to Live In

Both neighborhoods landed on a list of the top 10 healthiest spots to live in across the five boroughs.

Experts studied such things as apartment buildings, access to bike rooms or gyms, the number of eateries with healthy-food options and the amount of recreation and wellness centers in any given ’hood.

In DUMBO, residents’ healthy eating habits stood out to researchers while in Brooklyn Heights, access to facilities such as doctors’ offices, gyms and public spaces helped land them on the list.

By Meaghan McGoldrick Brooklyn Heights Press

A study led by experts at StreetEasy and Seamless has deemed DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights two of the healthiest places to live in the city, Patch reported.

TATIANA AROCHA: NIGHT MOUNTAINS Inspired by her childhood journeys into Colombia’s rainforests with her anthropologist father, Tatiana Arocha’s multidisciplinary work stems

from a desire to celebrate the landscape’s astounding biodiversity. Her immersive murals surround the viewer with nature rendered in monochromatic tones, a color palette that references historic naturalist engravings and warns of a future in which the rainforest exists only in the past. By installing depictions of nature in urban settings, Arocha’s murals draw parallels between the diverse ecosystems of Colombia and the cultural flourishing of her current Brooklyn neighborhood.

Where: Fort Greene/ BRIC House Cafe (647 Fulton Street)

ROUGH EDGES: ELISE SIEGEL

A solo show of ceramic sculpture by Elise Siegel.

In this exhibition, a large gathering of Siegel’s idiosyncratic and psychologically expressive portrait busts inhabit the gallery. Although each bust is a distinct individual, they

are not portraits of specific persons. Rather, they are embodiments of familiar emotional states — fleeting moments of inner conflict, disquiet, ambivalence and unease. As such, they exude an uncanny sense of vulnerability and project an interiority that creates a psychological tension.

When: Thursdays-Sundays through February 10th, 1 – 6 p.m.

Where: Bushwick/STUDIO10 (56 Bogart Street)

THE FUTURE

MINUS SPACE is honored to present the solo exhibition Julian Dashper: The Future. This is the late artist’s second solo exhibition at the gallery and commemorates ten years of his passing. The exhibition will highlight select art works produced during the 1990s and early 2000s.

ARCHITECTURE OF MEMORY: CHERYL MOLNAR SOLO

The artist’s process begins with documentation: Molnar photographs locations newly traveled and wellknown and loved. These photographs are digitally stitched together, combining landscapes with structures from various “memories.” This is the way we experience memories: we confuse the place and time, the structures bleed together, places patched together in our minds the way Molnar collages photographs, like

concretized memories.

These are the improbable landscapes of our memory, given physical shape. On view for “The Architecture of Memory” will be recent collaged paintings on panel as well as small-scale editioned work that reveal much of the early stages of her process, much like “sketches” but done through photographs and digital manipulation.

When: By appointment only through February 22nd Where: Greenpoint/Arete Venue and Gallery (67 West Street)

WHEN WE WERE STRANGERS What does it mean to be in love? For eight years, in images, writing and life, plain and simple, we have tried to tease out the answer. Love is a cliche, an idea so easy to imagine but impossible to grasp. Like an overripe fruit, it collapses with a bit of pressure into cloying sweetness and the faint sense of something lost. At its most basic, falling in love means cleaving away something of yourself and becoming something else.

It’s painful and hard, but also carries the potential for profound transformation.

When We Were Strangers is

ENRICO RILEY: NEW WORLD The paintings are part of an unfolding and evolving cycle that investigates themes of historical and contemporary violence, martyrdom, grief, and the middle passage within a spatial domain.

Enrico Riley challenges viewers to decipher and contextualize his work’s fractured narratives. For many Americans, exposure to the plethora of recent media examples of reflexive violence perpetrated on African-Americans has

FRIDA KAHLO: APPEARANCES CAN BE DECEIVING Mexican artist Frida Kahlo’s unique and immediately recognizable style was an integral part of her identity. Kahlo came to define herself through her ethnicity, disability, and politics, all of which were at the heart of her work. Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving is the largest U.S. exhibition in ten years devoted to the iconic painter and the first in the United States to display a collection of her clothing and other personal possessions, which were rediscovered and inventoried in 2004 after being locked away since Kahlo’s death, in 1954. They are displayed alongside important paintings, drawings, and photographs from the celebrated Jacques and Natasha Gelman Collection of 20th Century Mexican Art, as well as related historical film and

ephemera. To highlight the collecting interests of Kahlo and her husband, muralist Diego Rivera, works from our extensive holdings of Mesoamerican art are also included.

He works with objects that either have a link to

the first part of a lifelong project deconstructing love through the prism of our relationship. This first chapter is a love poem of sorts, one that charts what happens when two people attempt to become something more and less than that, when we are more unknown stranger to each other than anything else.

But love is an ouroboros that eats the past that came before it. Who was I before you? We are interested in the frayed edges, the messy intersections, the elements of ourselves lost and new facets gained in the process, and the limits to all of that.

undulating physicality and fluid footwork, Grupo Corpo brings a pair of dramatically contrasting works— Bach and Gira. Initially created for the 1996 Lyons Dance Biennial, Bach is a playful exercise in perception of what one hears and what one sees. Pederneiras fuses contemporary kinetic movements with flares of regal, classical form. As dancers clad in gold, black, and blue ascend, drop, and hang from giant steel tubes resembling organ pipes, Marco Antônio Guimarães’ score reimagines Bach’s meticulous majesty. Then the ensemble transports the audience to its home country with the dynamic Gira, featuring a first-time collaboration with São Paulo punk-jazz-rock band Metá Metá. The work honors Brazil’s diaspora by invoking potent ritualistic rhythms and movement rooted in the rites of Umbanda—one of the most widely practiced Brazilian religions which combines Candomblé with Catholicism and Kardecism— and serves as the primary source of inspiration for the Gira’s aesthetics.

When: Daily through February 2nd, 7:30 p.m.

Shore Road Promenade is so serene though it's right next to the Belt Parkway.

Come See Shore Road Promenade in Winter

By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge never looked so good.

So what if it’s winter? This is an icon for all seasons.

You get the best views of the eye-catching steel span when you’re strolling on Shore Road Promenade.

Bay Ridge’s combination walkway and cycling path runs beside New York Harbor, right along the water’s edge.

The promenade is a terrific recreation space.

The air smells salty. The scene is serene despite the Belt Parkway’s proximity. There are always plenty of passing ships to scrutinize.

You’ll be just fine as long as you bundle up — but we’re not kidding about dressing warmly. It’s often much windier down by the riverside than in the rest of the neighborhood.

You can catch glimpses of the VerrazzanoNarrows Bridge from lots of spots in Bay Ridge and random locales further afield, like the Fifth Avenue sidewalk in Sunset Park. The bridge’s towers are 70 stories tall, so they’re hard to miss.

Nevertheless, Shore Road Promenade is the ideal place for good long looks at the halfcentury-old bridge.

The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, as it was called when it opened in November 1964, is named after Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano. In 1524, he became the first European to see New York Harbor.

Last year, Gov. Cuomo signed legislation that changed the spelling of the bridge’s name to match the explorer’s.

Shadows stripe the steps of a pedestrian overpass that connects Shore Road Promenade to Bay Ridge residential streets.

‘IT IS A CRIME TO BUILD AN UGLY BRIDGE’

The Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge is the longest suspension bridge in the United States. Its main span extends for 4,260 feet.

The bridge, which connects Brooklyn and Staten Island, was one of the Power Broker’s projects. You’ve read the blockbuster biography Robert Caro wrote about New York infrastructure czar Robert Moses, so you know who we mean.

Three workers died during its five-year construction, whose intricacies are detailed in Gay Talese’s re-released book called “The Bridge.”

The designer was Swiss-born structural engineer Othmar Ammann. He also designed the George Washington Bridge and was in charge of the construction of several other metro-area spans.

“It is a crime to build an ugly bridge,” Ammann once said. Amen to that.

Come See Shore Road Promenade in Winter — Continued from page 11INB —

A SCULPTURE TO COMMEMORATE 9/11

Birds of a feather flock together beneath the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.

Shore Road Promenade has a couple pedestrian overpasses that allow you to cross the Belt Parkway and gain access to Bay Ridge’s residential streets.

The staircases to the overpasses are good vantage points for photographing the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, by the way.

If you’re inclined to wander, stroll across one of these aerial walkways.

You will wind up in Shore Road Park, which is silent in the wintertime but scenic. Various spots in the park are additional vantage points for looking at the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.

You should return to Shore Road Promenade because of course you’ll want to walk to the end of it. There, you’ll find the 69th Street Pier.

In warm weather it’s a popular fishing spot. It’s got a great view of the World Trade Center and Lower Manhattan.

Its official name is the American Veterans Memorial Pier.

Out in the middle of it, there’s a 25-foot-tall bronze sculpture called “Beacon” by artist Robert Ressler. The work, made at Greenpoint’s Bedi-Makky Foundry, honors Brooklyn residents who died in the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

On 9/11, boats that evacuated survivors of the Twin Towers’ collapse took them to the 69th Street Pier.

Birds buddy up on the 69th Street Pier.

Former Brooklyn District Attorney Charles “Joe” Hynes dead at 83

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM

One of Brooklyn’s longest serving district attorneys, Charles “Joe” Hynes, has died at 83. The former prosecutor served the city from 1990 to 2013.

The Flatbush-born-andraised Hynes had a remarkable career, beginning as a reformer and ending amid controversy.

His career as Brooklyn district attorney began in the wake of his successful prosecution of a notorious racial attack in Howard Beach, Queens, as special state prosecutor for the New York City Criminal Justice System, a position to which he had been appointed by thenGov. Mario Cuomo in 1985.

That incident involved a car carrying four black men that broke down in the predominantly white Howard Beach neighborhood. A group of youths using racial slurs accosted the black men outside a pizza parlor.

One victim was chased onto a highway where he was killed by an oncoming vehicle, while another was beaten by a bat.

Hynes was able to win three convictions for manslaughter and persuade the judge to impose stiff consecutive sentences.

This raised Hynes’ profile and led to his victorious run for district attorney in 1989.

Among his many accomplishments as DA were the initiation of the Drug Treatment Alternative-to-Prison Program (DTAP), and a variety of public safety programs including ComAlert, which helped aid individuals on probation or parole as they re-entered their Brooklyn communities.

He also has helped implement a citywide program to monitor convicted domestic violence offenders, in collaboration with former Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

This was a particularly important issue for Hynes, whose mother was the victim of domestic violence. He subsequently opened the Family Justice Center within the DA’s office that provided a range of services for domestic violence victims in a single location, and which became a nationwide model.

However, Hynes’s later career was marked by a series of controversies, including allegations that his office had used improper evidence to win murder convictions in nearly two dozen cases.

Hynes’s successor Kenneth Thompson opened a conviction review unit, maintained by current DA Eric Gonzalez, that was instrumental in overturning those cases and setting free many innocent people who had languished in jail for years.

In addition, his reputation suffered from allegations that Hynes funneled more than $200,000 in forfeited funds from drug and other criminal investigations into his failed

2013 re-election campaign.

The probe was prompted by a scathing report by the city’s Department of Investigation that concluded that the misuse of funds, according to a report in the Associated Press, could amount to larceny.

Hynes was also criticized by some for being soft on crime in Brooklyn’s Orthodox Jewish community. He was accused of catering to the influential rabbis who did not want criminal cases, especially sex abuse cases, handled by secular authorities.

Hynes denied the allegations.

Hynes was a Democrat who lost the 2013 Democratic primary to Thompson, and then, running on the Republican and Conservative lines which he had previously secured, as he had in prior elections, lost again resoundingly to Thompson on election night, 2013.

Hynes graduated from St. John’s University in 1957 and received his J.D. in 1961, also from St. John’s University. After working as an associate attorney in the early ‘60s, Hynes became an assistant district attorney in the Kings County district attorney’s office in 1971, before being named first district attorney in 1973.

In 1975, Gov. Hugh Carey and Attorney General Louis Lefkowitz appointed Hynes special state prosecutor for Nursing Homes and Social Services.

Under Mayor Ed Koch, Hynes served as New York City fire commissioner from 1980 to 1982. Between 1983 and 1985 he served as commissioner for the New York State Commission of Investigation.

Former Brooklyn Conservative Party Chair Jerry Kassar knew Hynes and was saddened by his death.

“I always had a very good relationship with him and I thought from the perspective of public service he did a very good job,” Kassar told this paper.

“I found Joe Hynes to be a very good district attorney. He had a very long public service career in a number of positions. I always found him to be dedicated, hardworking and honorable.”

Hynes had an apartment at Oliver Street and Marine Avenue in Bay Ridge and a home in Breezy Point. He and his wife Patricia had five children.

“I know some of his children and I’m very saddened for them,” Kassar added. “Joe and his family are in my prayers.”

The secretary declared himself ‘very proud’ of the performance of the Asiatic fleet in the Straits of Macassar, adding ‘they are doing a damned fine job.’”  ON JAN. 29, 1898, the Eagle reported from Washington, D.C., that “the resolutions for the erection of a monument to the prison ship martyrs at Fort Greene, N.Y., the library committee has recommended to the House a substitute appropriating $100,000 as a part contribution, conditioned on an additional $100,000 to be raised otherwise. The report estimates that there were 20,000 of these victims now sought to be commemorated.

Mrs. S.V. White, who has been especially identified with the monument movement from the beginning, was asked this morning by an Eagle reporter what she thought of the action of the library committee and replied: ‘Just what I expected. As was said the other day by the regents of Fort Greene Chapter, D.A.R., all that was needed was to turn the searchlight on and call attention to the martyrs. The people are patriotic.’”

ON JAN. 30, 1948, the Eagle reported, “New Delhi, Jan. 30 (UP) — Mohandas K. Gandhi, saint of India, was shot and killed today in an assassination which may set the whole subcontinent of India ablaze with warfare between Hindus and Moslems. The 78-year-old wisp of a man, his body even more frail than usual after a fast which ended a scant fortnight ago, was shot down by three bullets as he walked to the prayer grounds of Birla House for his evening devotions. He was carried into the great mansion, home of one of India’s greatest industrial magnates, in the arms of his weeping disciples. There he died at 5:45 p.m. (7:15 a.m.

Brooklyn time), a martyr to the cause for which he had dedicated his life — India’s freedom.”  ON JAN. 30, 1947, the Eagle reported, “To the Coronet Theater last night came a play by a young man named Arthur Miller, who will hereafter be classified as one of the best of American dramatists. He writes boldly, is not afraid to face such situations as only the most expert dramatists dare get themselves into and often find it difficult to get themselves out of, and makes it look as if he might be another Lillian Hellman almost any day. ‘All My Sons’ has a terrific kick … Mr. Miller writes natural dialogue that in addition to its naturalness reaches the vital spot quickly and without fumbling. And when facts explode in the faces of his people they do not have to change their characters, they meet them head on with new but consistent manifestations of their natures. Something unexpected happens at every turn of the plot. The spectator sits still, listening for every word. Mr. Miller is a fine story teller.”

“Singing with Rock Voices has helped me to take risks, follow my passions, and make deeply meaningful friendships.”

-Elyse Langer-Smith, shown singing with the Northampton, MA choir

Started seven years ago in Massachusetts, Rock Voices provides a safe space for self expression and community in an increasingly disjointed world; an outlet for the soul. The mission of Rock Voices is “to heal ourselves and others through song.” Therapists often “prescribe” the group as a road back to wellness for clients who are struggling with depression and anxiety, and with good reason. There are precious few opportunities for adults to nd community and make new friends. Rock Voices adds the healing power of music to that mix, and magic happens. Friendships are forged, community forms, and members ride the wave to lives changed for the better.

The Brooklyn Heights group will be directed by local performer and music educator Marianne Cheng and will meet Tuesday nights from 7-9 pm at First Unitarian Congregational Society, with the rst rehearsal January 29. Enrollment continues throughout February. Prospective members can sing for up to three weeks before committing. Tuition fees each season are comparable to other classes in the arts, and scholarships are available to those who demonstrate need. Every effort is made to make the choir accessible to all who want it in their lives.

Curious? Go to a rehearsal and try it out. Find out if Rock Voices is what has been missing from YOUR life. (Brooklyn not convenient? If you live near Syosset, you can join the brand new chapter there on Thursday nights, starting January 31!) Learn more and pre-register at: www.RockVoices.com

Mike Long steps down as Conservative Party chair

BY PAULA KATINAS PAULA@BROOKLYNEAGLE.COM

I

n a move that took his party’s leaders by surprise, Mike Long, who has served as chairperson of the New York State Conservative Party for 30 years, suddenly announced on Jan. 28 that he was stepping down from his post.

Long, 78, made his announcement at the conclusion of the 52nd Annual Conservative Party Political Action Conference in upstate New York, a mini-convention during which party leaders from all over the state hear presentations from elected officials and candidates, and map out the party’s agenda for the year.

Long told party leaders that he had “a heavy heart,” but that he firmly believed “the time has come for me to step away as chairman” and that he felt “the time for new leadership is upon us.”

Jerry Kassar, who stepped down last year as chairperson of the Brooklyn Conservative Party, has expressed a strong interest in becoming the next state chairperson, according to sources.

“Jerry is interested and I support him 100 percent,” Fran Vella-Marrone, who took over for Kassar as

Brooklyn chairperson, told this newspaper on Jan. 29.

The party’s executive committee will meet next month to start the process of selecting the next chairperson.

Long, who lives with his wife Eileen in Bay Ridge, first took the helm of the Conservative Party in 1988 and worked well with Republicans to form coalitions that helped get right-leaning GOP candidates elected to seats in Congress and the state legislature.

Among the people Long helped are former Gov. George Pataki, former Congressmembers Susan Molinari, Vito Fossella, Michael Grimm and Dan Donovan, and former state Sen. Marty Golden, as well as current Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis.

Long enjoyed a particularly close relationship with Golden, with whom he had worked to revive the dormant Fifth Avenue Board of Trade in Bay Ridge in the 1990s.

Long and his brother Tom Long were the owners of Long’s Wines and Liquors, a store on Fifth Avenue, and Golden owned the Bay Ridge Manor catering hall on 76th Street just off Fifth Avenue.

The re-launch of the board of trade paved the

Mike Long, pictured with his wife Eileen at a Bay Ridge luncheon a few years ago, caused a political earthquake with his retirement announcement. way for business leaders to work with New York City to establish the Bay Ridge Fifth Avenue Business Improvement District. The Long brothers later sold the liquor store.

In a letter he wrote to party leaders to announce his retirement formally, Long vowed to continue to promote conservative principles. “As I step away from my current role, I

continue to stand with you as a proud member of the Conservative Party of New York,” he wrote.

The Brooklyn Conservative Party has always had a strong connection to Bay Ridge. The party’s headquarters is located on 78th Street.

Long served as a U.S. Marine in the early 1960s and joined the Conservative Party in 1964. He was

elected chairperson of the Brooklyn Conservative Party, a post he held for many years before moving up to head the state party.

Over the decades, Long worked diligently to attract young people to the Conservative Party cause, according to his friends.

“I met him when I was 17 years old. He was always very encouraging and willing to listen to ideas,”

Vella-Marrone said. “I will miss him. He was the greatest chairman of any party in the state. He was fully supportive of his county chairs and went out of his way for you if you needed his help.”

Liam McCabe, who founded the Brooklyn South Conservative Club, worked in Long’s Wines and Liquors when he was in college.

“I wish Mike Long the best and I thank him for inspiring me to get involved in politics,” McCabe wrote on Facebook. “It was working in his store as a college student in the late 90’s where in between stocking shelves and studying I would talk about the issues of the day with Mike and Tom Long.

Mike convinced me to do more than talk and to call a guy named Gerard Kassar to get involved. That was 20 years ago and it’s been a great ride since.”

In addition to his political acumen, Long is also known in Bay Ridge for his deep Catholic faith. He and his wife Eileen, who have nine children, are parishioners at Our Lady of Angels Catholic Church.

Long is chairperson of the Board of Directors at Holy Angels Catholic Academy, a school with strong ties to the parish.

As traffic accidents increase, calls come for more school crossing guards in District 20

BY MEAGHAN MCGOLDRICK MMCGOLDRICK@ BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

W

ith local traffic accidents on the rise in Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights, the community is now calling for increased enforcement in the form of school crossing guards.

Councilmember Justin Brannan on Jan. 25 penned a letter to New York Police Department Commissioner James O’Neill pushing for an increase in the number of school crossing guards assigned to the 68th Precinct, which encompasses both the Ridge and Dyker.

His request, Brannan told this paper, came on the heels of a number of calls from constituents,

the letter itself sent just eight days after a total of 17 car accidents took place in 24 hours across the two neighborhoods on Jan. 14.

While requests for additional school crossing guards have certainly increased, Brannan argued, the number of those assigned to the 68 fell from 36 in Fiscal Year 2018 to 34 in Fiscal Year 2019.

“At the same time, requests for additional school crossing guards increased largely due to the growing school population and changes in pedestrian travel to some new elementary school buildings, Pre-K sites and large-scale additions [to] existing school buildings to accommodate severe overcrowding,” he wrote. “In fact, the schools within this portion of my

Council District remain the most overcrowded in the City of New York.”

And he’s right.

Schools in District 20 – which encompasses Borough Park, Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and the southern section of Sunset Park as well as the Fort Hamilton Army Base – have been notoriously overcrowded for years. Now, they’re at the top of the list.

“As you know, school crossing guards play an incredibly important role in the lives of children by helping them safely cross the street at key locations and there are several areas I feel warrant school crossing guard posts that cannot be accommodated due to lack of resources,” Brannan continued.

Among the schools he’s asked for coverage near: P.S. 264, P.S./I.S. 104, Our Lady of Angels Catholic Academy, P.S. 102, and more.

Specifically, the pol has asked that the following spots be granted their own school crossing guard: 88th Street at Fourth Avenue; 92nd Street at Fourth Avenue; Fourth Avenue at 74th Street; Third Avenue at 74th Street; 71st Street at Third Avenue; 82nd Street at Ridge Boulevard; Ovington Avenue at Seventh Avenue; 12th Avenue at Ovington Avenue; Bay Ridge Parkway at Seventh Avenue; 12th Avenue at 66th Street; 72nd Street at Fourth Avenue; Eighth Avenue at 65th Street; 63rd Street at Fort Hamilton Parkway; 65th Street at Fort Hamilton Parkway; 11th Avenue at 80th

Sunset Park “Gotham” actor says goodbye to show after five seasons

BY JAIME DEJESUS JDEJESUS@BROOKLYNREPORTER. COM

A

Sunset Park native says goodbye to Gotham.

With the hit FOX show ending after five seasons, J.W. Cortes, a Marine veteran who was born and raised in Sunset Park, and who has played Detective Carlos Alvarez since 2014, saluted the series, and looked back on his part in it.

The show takes place in the fictional city of Batman lore and includes his gallery of iconic villains, during Bruce Wayne’s childhood, before he became the city’s vigilante.

“I just feel incredibly grateful that I was able to be a part of something that I think will live on for many more years, especially in syndication,” he said. “To be a part of that feels great, and I’m glad and thankful that they kept writing for my character. Obviously, it’s a bittersweet feeling to know that the people you have

grown to love like family, you won’t get to see them as often, and that’s taking a bit of getting used to. But I just have to believe that we will see each other again or work again on something else.”

Once he landed the role of Alvarez, his career and life both changed, said Cortes, who used to live on 49th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, an area that was once known for its rising crime.

“It’s affected me how the fans show how much they appreciated catching glimpses of Alvarez over these five seasons,” he explained. “They tell me on social media and I converse with them. They send me fan letters from all over the world. They’ll draw [pictures of] me and they’ll say that they really connect with me because I look like them, especially my fans in Mexico, Latin America, and even parts of Europe. That has been a tremendous opportunity that doesn’t fall lightly on me. I understand the responsibility that I

but it was tough to pinpoint a highlight.

“I worked on a total of 32 episodes,” he said. “It’s hard, but I will say the biggest u n e x p e c te d response for me and my character is when Alvarez was affected by the Alice Tetch virus and viewPhotos courtesy of J.W.

Batman and Punisher. I collected comics. I’d go to Ninth Street and Sixth Avenue, and spend my allowance money on comic books. I believe in the power of them too. They can give us some sort of hope sometimes.”

Although his role was fulfilling, Cortes likes to focus on giving back to the community.

“What really fills my heart is when I was principal for the day at Charles Dewey Middle School,” he said.

In addition, he recalled, “I got to visit St. Jude’s Children Hospital.”

Also, he said, “I’ve given commencement speeches at some of the schools that I went to. That and seeing the young kids who will hopefully carry that message with them, that is far more rewarding than anything I do on any set. And being from Sunset, where there aren’t that many people working on television, I hope they look to me and say, ‘Wow. He’s one of us.’”

“Gotham” airs on FOX Thursdays at 8 p.m.

Brooklyn Chapter of BNI Hosts Party for a Good Cause

BY JOHN ALEXANDER JALEXANDER@BROOKLYNEAGLE. COM

I

t was a night to celebrate the achievements of Business Networking International’s (BNI) Morning Money Maker (MMM) Chapter in Brooklyn with a throwback disco-themed dance party that filled the room at Cebu Bar & Bistro at 8801 Third Ave. in Bay Ridge.

The event was co-hosted

by BNI-MMM Chapter President Brian Chin and coordinator Walter Ochoa. Chin is the branch manager-vice president of Northfield Bank and Ochoa owns the homecare agency Right at Home.

“The BNI Morning Money Makers Chapter is a group of business professionals that meet every week for the purpose of referring business to each other,” Chin explained. “The chapter has done over $3 million in closed business so far.

BNI’s Mission is to help people increase their business through a word-of-mouth

marketing program.”

The leadership team consist of Chin, Vice-President Maria Ingardia-Brody and Secretary-Treasurer Jennifer Santo.

The MMM Chapter was founded 10 years ago by Re/ Max Elite Real Estate Associate Broker and Realtor Julie Thum.

“I have made so many great connections which also wonderfully turned into friendships,” Thum told this paper. “These are the people whom I can honestly trust with my referrals and at the same time with whom I have a strong enough bond to ask for their help when I need it and they’ll always be there for me. That’s what our MMM chapter means to me.”

There was a 50/50 raffle with the proceeds earmarked for Cancer Can’t Kill Love and Holy Cross Brooklyn Outreach Center, two local charitable organizations.

Cancer Can’t Kill Love began in November, 2013, following the death of Managing/Digital Editor of the

TIME MARCHES ON

A Look Back At L’Amour

By Jen Daniele

Special to the Home Reporter

On Jan. 25, 1985, Metallica played L’Amour, the Rock Capital of Brooklyn.

Billed as the Metal Massacre weekend, the show featured the triple threat and triple treat of Armored Saint, W.A.S.P. and Metallica, the latter a scrubby, California-based heavy metal outfit comprised of four lean, mean, long-haired musicians who were little-known outside the loud and proud heavy metal community.

While loud and proud, the community itself rumbled just under the mainstream. Though New York City boasted three rock radio stations at the time, contemporary heavy metal, as a genre, was carefully avoided. Word of new bands spread through word of mouth and through exchanges and sales of albums and audio cassette tapes.

There was, however, one option if you wanted to hear it through your radio: tune your dial to 89.5 WSOU, Seton Hall University’s college radio station. Depending on reception, you also might have extended the aluminum foil-wrapped antenna on your boombox out the window.

Back then, if you wanted to hear your music, you did what you had to do.

In July 1985, New York City disco station WKTU switched its call letters to WXRK and its format to album-oriented rock. While this change occurred a mere six months after this Metallica show at L’Amour, it would be several years before the station actually played any of their songs on the air.

Outside of college radio stations, the only DJ spinning Metallica and their American contemporaries who had sprung from the heavy roots of the New Wave of British heavy metal bands, which included Motorhead, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, was L’Amour fixture Alex Kayne.

Reflecting on the Metal Massacre

weekend, Kayne said, “Yes, I was there the entire weekend for all three shows, partly DJ-ing … and partly hanging out in the crowd. What I remember immediately is the anticipation [and] street buzz that Metallica had generated about this show beforehand. I was so excited about it that I got to the club super early! It was jam-packed … all three nights sold out. The Sunday show was particularly fun because it was all-ages and it was cool to see a lot of young metal saplings there soaking it all in.

Imagine seeing a show like this for only $15 bucks!”

Also on the bill that night were popular bands W.A.S.P. and ArL'Amour mored Saint, making for one exciting show.

the sense of staff as a family, all of us working in sync together to create a great atmosphere, to execute a great show and to provide an excellent overall experience for the people who came there. Could there ever be another place like it? That really would have a lot to do with timing, don’t you think? Because L’Amour and heavy metal grew up together … the crowd at L’Amour was able to nurture metal in its infancy, and help it grow into the wild-eyed monster that it is today. I’m not sure something like that can happen again the way it did back then. The freehearted vibe at L’Amour, coupled with an unrivaled roster of bands that came through the doors across the decades, is something that would be quite difficult to recreate.

“L’Amour was the first full-on [and] full-time metal club in the area, period.

That’s what made L’Amour distinct, prestigious. L’Amour Brooklyn’s many contributions to the development, pollination and ultimate domination of the East Coast metal scene are undeniable — the ripples of which are still felt today. I’m very fortunate to have been a part of it – part of the greatest celebration of heavy metal music New York has ever seen. As many L’Amour regulars say, if you weren’t there, then you won’t ever understand.”

Indeed.

IN PUBLIC SERVICE COMPILED BY PAULA KATINAS AND JOHN ALEXANDER

ROSE INTRODUCES BILL TO END LOBBYIST LOOPHOLE U.S. Rep. Max Rose (D-Brooklyn-Staten Island) has introduced legislation to close the lobbyist loophole that has been abused in the past by the likes of Michael Cohen and former Sen. Tom Daschle, in which former elected officials or senior advisors are hired as “consultants” to avoid registering as federal lobbyists.

“If someone acts like a lobbyist, and is paid like a lobbyist, then they ought to register as a lobbyist,” Rose said. “The American people are sick and tired of corrupt loopholes designed for politicians and well-connected insiders to exploit on behalf of special interests and donors. This isn’t a partisan issue; this is an American issue—so let’s close this loophole so we can start regaining the trust of the people.”

Rose’s “Lobbyist Loophole Closure Act” would require individuals who provide paid strategic advice in support of a lobbying contact with a government official to register as lobbyists—even if they don’t make direct contact.

Under current law, trade associations and companies routinely hire outside consultants to provide “strategic advice” as part of their lobbying activities, although because these outside consultants aren’t directly lobbying government officials, they are not required to register as federal lobbyists.

In early 2017, several companies hired President Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to obtain advice in lobbying the administration—which allowed him to avoid registering as a federal lobbyist. Similarly, after leaving office, Daschle joined a law and lobbying firm as a “special policy advisor” in which he consulted without formally registering as a lobbyist. – JA

NADLER, FEINSTEIN BLAST TRUMP ASYLUM PLAN U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-parts of Bensonhurst, Bay Ridge-Upper West Side), the chairperson of the House Judiciary Committee, and U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California), the leading Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, have issued a joint statement highly critical of a plan by the Trump administration to have people seeking asylum in the U.S. remain in Mexico while their cases are pending in court.

“The Trump administration is on a mission to take apart the asylum system, which was developed after the horrors of World War II to ensure persecuted people have an opportunity to petition our government for safety. The basic responsibility owed to those seeking asylum under U.S. and international law is that people fleeing for their lives cannot be turned away without a chance to make their case,” the lawmakers said in their statement.

Nadler and Feinstein charged that the administration’s plan “creates more chaos at the border, harming refugees instead of protecting them.” There is a “significant possibility” that asylum seekers would be in danger of being persecuted or tortured in Mexico, the lawmakers said. – PK

NEW YORK STATE RECOGNIZES INTERNATIONAL DAY OF EDUCATION Through the efforts of Assemblymember Jaime Williams (D-Canarsie- Georgetown-Mill Basin-Marine Park-Bergen Beach-Gerritsen Beach), New York State has joined the countries of Qatar, Ireland and Nigeria, and the United Nations in proclaiming Jan. 24 as the International Day of Education, in celebration of the role of education for peace, development and equality.

According to a statement released by Williams, the United Nations through its adoption of resolution 73/25 “International Day of Education,” co-authored by Nigeria and 58 other member states, demonstrated the unwavering support for inclusive, equitable and quality education for all.

ASSEMBLYMEMBER LENTOL ANNOUNCES $1.5 MILLION GRANT FOR 1.4 ACRE GREEN ROOF

JEFFRIES TELLS TODD: WE DON’T WORK FOR DONALD TRUMP U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-Brownsville-Canarsie-Coney Island), chairperson of the House Democratic Caucus, appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Jan. 27 and told moderator Chuck Todd that the Democratic-led House of Representatives will serve as an important check on President Donald Trump.

“I think the American people want to see checks and balances. We are a separate and co-equal branch of government. We don’t work for Donald Trump. We work for the American people,” Jeffries told Todd, according to a transcript of the interview released by Jeffries’ office.

But Jeffries also said in the interview that he did not think talk of impeaching Trump was appropriate at this point in time.

“Well it’s certainly not appropriate right now. We do have a constitutional responsibility pursuant to Article One to serve as a check and balance on an out of control executive branch. We take that responsibility seriously. However, we’re not going to over-investigate. We’re not going to over-politicize.

We’re not going to overreach as it relates to that solemn constitutional responsibility.”

The Democratic majority in the House hopes to work in a bipartisan fashion with Republicans on issues like health care and transportation, Jeffries said.

“We have taken the position that we do want to work in a bipartisan way, and want to do it in particular on behalf of our ‘For the People’ agenda. We’ve said we’re going to fight hard for lower health care costs, to increase pay for everyday Americans, strengthen the Affordable Care Act, protect people with preexisting conditions, enact a real infrastructure plan,” Jeffries told Todd. – PK

Tony and Gina Argento of Broadway Stages, Assemblymember Joe Lentol and Marni Majorelle of Alive Structures.

Assemblymember Joe Lentol (D-North Brooklyn) has announced the award of $1.5 million in a New York State grant to Broadway Stages, Ltd. to fund the creation of green rooftops, totaling 1.4 acres, on three of its sound stages in Greenpoint in partnership with Alive Structures.

The rooftops will provide a wide range of benefits, ranging from stormwater capture to air pollution reduction. The grant was provided by New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation’s Green Innovation Grant Program (GIGP).

Broadway Stages partnered with Alive Structures, New York City Audubon and the Newtown Creek Alliance on the Kingsland Wildflowers project, which was initially funded through the Greenpoint Community Environmental Fund.

“Kingsland Wildflowers at Broadway Stages was a great success and is the perfect example that shows the potential of this project,” said Lentol. “I am very excited that this grant funded such a great project right here in Greenpoint. It will add green space, improve the environment and provide

a natural habitat for countless beneficial insects and birds.”

GIGP provides $15 million in funding across New York State for unique stormwater infrastructure design and cutting-edge green technology projects. GIGP solicits grant applications for projects that improve water quality and demonstrate green stormwater infrastructure in New York State.

“The green roofs have the potential to remove the emissions equivalent of over 40,000 cars per year,” Lentol added. “Congratulations to Broadway Stages and Alive Structures.” – JA

OPINION CONSEQUENCES

W

e often say in political campaign literature that there is a clear difference between the candidate you are supporting and the candidate you are opposing. We also often say that elections have consequences. It did not take very long following the 2018 election for both these expressions to prove themselves true.

Last week, we saw all our local elected officials with the exception of Assemblymembers Nicole Malliotakis and Bill Colton vote for a nine-month abortion bill. The yes votes in support of broadening the legality of abortion in the third trimester were cast by state Senators Andrew Gounardes and Diane Savino, and Assemblymembers Peter Abbate, Felix Ortiz and Mathylde Frontus.

In addition to legalizing the right to an abortion in certain circumstances up to the moment of birth, the legislation, now law after being immediately signed

by Gov. Cuomo, repeals the state requirement that only a licensed physician can perform an abortion and incredibly repeals protections for accidental live births.

This sets the stage for a live birth abortion baby to die from neglect. Finally, the new law supported by many of our local Democrats disallows criminal charges that would result from the loss of the baby due to an act of violence.

Marty Golden (whom I served as chief of staff) was part of a group of senators who, for many years, prevented this legislation from becoming law. Andrew Gounardes voted for it. Two

very different views. Elections have consequences.

As an aside, the governor held a celebration immediately following the final passage as part of his bill-signing ceremony. This celebration included his office ordering the government-owned World Trade Center to display a pink color in honor of the chaptering of the nine-month abortion legislation.

Malliotakis takes the business of representing her district and all things regarding the elective franchise very seriously.

Nicole, during her mayoral run, received 67 percent of the vote in the congressional district, and was re-elected in 2018, which was not a good year for Republican/Conservatives by a wide margin.

Focus on Bay Ridge

By Charles F. Otey

Brannan, Beckmann Want To Know:Why So Many Crashes in Bay Ridge?

Cell Phones? Texting? No Enforcement?

Or the Nuts Behind the Wheel?

Last week Councilmember Justin Brannan and Community Board 10 District Manager Josephine Beckmann expressed their appropriate displeasure when, as writer Paula Katinas reported in this newspaper, “There were 3,312 car crashes in Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018. This is 400 more [crashes] than the average number of collisions in other Brooklyn neighborhoods during that same time period, according to [Councilmember Justin] Brannan, who said the statistics show a serious public safety problem on local streets.”

The rise in cellphones and electronic devices could be factors that distract drivers,

Merchants of Third Avenue President Bob Howe ebrooklyn media/File photo by Paula Katinas

but local officials pointed out that cellphones are used everywhere — not just in Southwest Brooklyn.

The Laws Are There, but How About Enforcement?

The other day, as I was walking along Third Avenue near 74th Street, I attempted to cross over to Anthony’s Butcher Shop, only to have my way blocked by a noncommercial minivan driver stuck in the middle of a trafficstopping, horn-honking U-turn mob scene.

A dozen or so other pedestrians shared my dismay at the driver’s selfish flouting of the law, not to mention disregard for our own physical security. The driver, protected in part by tinted windows, froze in place as though he/she wasn’t really there.

“Where’s a traffic cop when you need him?” a woman pedestrian exclaimed.

Pointing a finger at the driver, she added, “That’s against the law!”

Then fate stepped in as a few in the growing sidearm assemblage sensed by our side the very welcome presence of a New York City traffic enforcement agent; his blue-andwhite patrol car was stopped a few feet away.

I could swear I heard the triumphant strains of the “William Tell Overture,” the sounds of beating horse hooves and the voice of a masked man exhorting his steed, “Hi-ho, Silver!”

There was no sign of Tonto, and nary a “neigh” from Scout, but it did seem like a “truth and justice moment” as the swelling crowd of irate onlookers shifted their collective attention from the driver and looked with hope toward the newly arrived lawman for at least some eastern justice.

Was Justice Really Served?

Who Was that Masked Man?

Seeing a need to step up and do my civic duty, with due respect, of course, I explained

Councilmember Justin Brannan

Josephine Beckmann

ebrooklyn media/File photo by Denise Alexander

ebrooklyn media/File photo by Paula Katinas

to the man in blue and white, “This person is making an illegal U-turn and tying up traffic at the same time!”

United in purpose, the other pedestrians nodded their agreement while keeping their eyes fixed on the potential law violator whose minivan had begun inching away after clogging traffic for more than a full minute.

(Spoiler Alert: It wasn’t a happy ending.)

To our collective dismay, the traffic agent quickly let the wind out of our spontaneous courtroom drama by patiently outlining that what the U-turner was doing was not necessarily against the law.

“You have to determine whether the guy making the U-turn is making a three-point turn or a full turn,” he noted, even as he stood there with a small crowd blocked from crossing the avenue due to said turn.

“Is this legal?” a disbelieving citizen demanded to know of the officer as the alleged U-turner began to make his/her escape.

“Don’t really know for sure,” he replied. “I didn’t see it happening.”

Indicating that he had pressing business elsewhere, the officer excused himself, entered his official vehicle and began to move away.

she remarked. “Those guys [New York City traffic enforcement agents] are just out here to give parking tickets — that’s where the money is!”

Brannan — a former co-owner of a small and very popular business, The Art Room, on Third Avenue, which is run by his wife Leigh and his mom Mary — noted that better enforcement of existing laws would be a key to cutting down on the number of automobile accidents.

Merchants and shoppers alike have long been aware that traffic agents levy thousands of dollars daily on places like Third Avenue.

“It’s like a cash cow,” another merchant told us. “It’s easy.”

The merchant acknowledged that “fair enforcement will benefit all of us. At the same time, the ticketing agents should learn to be a little more understanding when, for instance, an overloaded shopper takes an extra moment or two packing her purchases into her vehicle while maybe a few minutes over the allotted time.”

Merchants of Third Avenue President Bob Howe, an attorney, pointed out that extra consideration should be given to smaller businesses in terms of fines and taxes, especially since many stores are closing because they can’t compete with internet giants like Amazon.

Kudos to Brannan, who may now be in a position to have the city end its plunder of “cash cow” thoroughfares like Third Avenue and do much more to curb errant drivers, especially those who constantly tie up traffic by making U-turns wherever it may suit their purpose without regard to the poorly understood “U Turn — Or No U-Turn” law.

U-Turn or Not U-Turn: Is That Even a Question?

A few seconds later, the errant driver completed his/her torturous twist and sped away down Third Avenue.

Lifting her shopping bags, the female pedestrian who had a minute or so earlier cried out, “That’s against the law,” gave her take on what had just happened.

“The city doesn’t care about bad drivers,”

Please read it carefully. SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT You are in danger of losing your home. If you fail to respond to the Summons and Complaint in this foreclosure action, you may lose your home. Please read the Summons and Complaint carefully. You should immediately contact an attorney or your local legal aid ofce to obtain advice on how to protect yourself.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid ofce, there are government agencies and non-prot organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by the New York State Department of Financial Services at 1-877-BANKNYS (1-877-226-5697) or visit the department’s website at: http://www.dfs.ny.gov RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO LEAVE YOUR HOME AT THIS TIME. You have the right to stay in your home during the foreclosure process.

Regardless of whether you choose to remain in your home, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROPERTY and pay property taxes in accordance with state and local law. FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly prot from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for prot to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. #166960

NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROGRAM Gowanus Repowering Project Application for Certicate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need before the New York State Board of Electric Generation Siting and the Environment Pursuant to Article 10 of the Public Service Law Department of Public Service Case Number: 18-F-0758 Date/ times of meeting: Wednesday, February 27, 2019 Two sessions—3:30 to 5:30 PM and 6:30 to 8:30 PM Place: Our Lady of Perpetual Help 558 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220 Applicant: Astoria Generating Company, L.P. 420 2nd Avenue P.O. Box 658 Brooklyn, NY 11232 Facility: Gowanus Generating Station 420 2nd Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11232 Kings County Project Description Article 10 of the Public Service Law provides the regulatory process for siting some power plants in New York State. Astoria Generating Company, L.P. (“AGC†) operates two generating stations on barges in the East River along the shore of the Gowanus/Sunset Park neighborhoods, Community District 7, Borough of Brooklyn, Kings County, City of New York, namely the existing Gowanus Generating Station (“Gowanus†) and Narrows Generating Station (“Narrows†). AGC is proposing under Article 10 to repower the older, less efcient electric generating units at Gowanus and replace them with new, more efcient electric generating units (the “Gowanus Repowering Project†or the “Projectâ€

). The Gowanus Repowering Project will entail the replacement of the current 32 older generating units on four barges with eight larger more efcient, natural gas-powered units situated equally on two barges. The current megawatt (“MW†) rating of Gowanus is 640 MW. The Project will result in a MW rating no greater than 610 MW, 30 MW less than the current facility. The current MW rating of Narrows is 320 MW. Upon the commencement of operation of the Project, AGC will retire Narrows resulting in a total decrease of 350 MW of traditional generation in the area. AGC believes the Project sizing with the retirement of Narrows will result in cleaner, more efcient electric generation and provide the electric reliability required for the Gowanus/Sunset Park neighborhood as renewable energy production expands over time. Furthermore, the Project, by continuing the location of the generating units on barges, will also maintain the critical infrastructure resilience demonstrated by the existing Gowanus facility. The public information meeting will provide information about the project and the Article 10 review process and will provide an opportunity for the public to ask questions.

Pair of perps being sought in Bensonhurst bodega robbery

BY HELEN KLEIN HKLEIN@BROOKLYNREPORTER.COM

T

he search is on for a dastardly duo that held up a Bensonhurst convenience store earlier this month.

According to the police, the pair stole $400 from a grocery on 18th Avenue near 66th Street, at approximately 10:30 p.m. on Sun., Jan. 6.

Cops say the two men, both Caucasians about 30 years old, entered the store and, while one acted as a lookout, the other demanded money as he pointed a black revolver at the 22-year-old clerk, who handed over the cash, whereupon the duo took off, on foot, eastbound on 66th Street.

According to the NYPD, one of the men is approximately 160 pounds and 5’6” tall, and wore glasses. He was last seen in a black jacket, blue jeans, a red bandana and brown work boots. The other suspect is described as approximately 165 pounds and 5’8” in height. He was last seen in a black jacket, a white hooded sweatshirt, white gloves, blue jeans and black sneakers.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com, on Twitter @NYPDTips or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then entering TIP577.

All calls are strictly confidential.
