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).
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…
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.
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.
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!
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
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.)
