The LIRR's fare between Queens & Nassau are very high when compared to MNR's for Bronx to Westchester/Connecticut. This map illustrates this. Compare the fare from the Bronx to places like South Norwalk (32 miles/$7) and that from Queens Village to Elmont (.6 miles/$8.25 Peak).

@GCONNELIE @johnchoe4nyc @MarkLevineNYC Great thank you!

Good morning @errollouis - we hear that tonight you are speaking without City Council Rep, @CMvpaladino . Please check out this @ny4p report on our district’s beautiful and bountiful parkland 💚 https://t.co/CqdKNLSA1z

Annnd without union labor, City often left with lackluster results.

EX: tree planting contracts- trees die after guarantee date passes bc contractors are smart, know newly planted tree die after trying for 2 yrs with bad planting, mulching & no watering.

Knowledge is money.

“Not nearly enough of these projects have been done with union labor” says Council Member @voteshekar at todays press conference ahead of the @NYCCouncil Parks hearing! #1u #PlayFair #CapitalReform

100%, especially considering our park has been devastate due to torrential rain downpours from Ida, and will continue to be harmed by climate change.

What’s up with H.R.1678 - Parks, Jobs, and Equity Act @RepBarragan - unsure if this would cover @RepGraceMeng district…

[Grace Meng @RepGraceMeng]

The NDAA should not include Senator Manchin’s proposed permitting reform bill that would endanger the environment. The environment and people must be the priority, not fossil fuel projects.

[Friends of Crocheron & John Golden Park @CrocheronPark]

@VickieforNYC Awesome to see! City govt needs follow up and then more follow up. Glad your team is able to do it :)

[Friends of Crocheron & John Golden Park @CrocheronPark]

@BarryGrodenchik @NYCParks @CentralParkNYC I see you @CrocheronPark often too ;)

[Friends of Crocheron & John Golden Park @CrocheronPark]

@brianpmangan Fyi these are all other flagship or known large parks. There are others that also have exotic trees and nature paths.

[Hon. Vickie Paladino @VickieforNYC]

District 19 has more veterans than any other part of the city, and I’m proud to serve and represent them.

My office is becoming a Veteran Resource Center so this community finally has easier access to the benefits they need and deserve.

Alternatively, our large park system only has 4 blacksmiths! Our Queens blacksmith retired months ago - there still a vacancy. Is it pay or is the city not actively going through applications? I know that Crocheron has safety issues in need of a blacksmith. Work orders hanging.

[Shekar Krishnan @voteshekar]

Did you know every single steel rim at each of 1,800 basketball courts in @NYCParks across the 5 boros is made HERE, at this blacksmith shop in Queens??!

An incredible team of 4 blacksmiths expertly makes NYC’s hoops. And one worker who just retired is from #JacksonHeights!

[Friends of Crocheron & John Golden Park @CrocheronPark]

Hope this is resolved once right people are told — @voteshekar please help keep trees safe and standard rules universal for all, regardless of company affiliations

[Gothamist @Gothamist]

This tree in Manhattan literally has a token installed on it to monitor if security guards are doing their jobs.

(And it’s far from the only tree.)
