@NewRockaway Please warn your swimmers. Too many have drowned each year!

[One Rockaway @NewRockaway]

@NYPD100Pct and @NYCParks are finally out today enforcing no e-bikes or motorized scooters on the Rockaway boardwalk.

@USPS here when you want to talk !

[One Rockaway @NewRockaway]

Here’s a good one — @USPS, all the credit card devices we use ask is to hit yes to affirm a transaction, so when will you change the language at post office machines and ask us to affirmatively verify our packages are safe, instead of saying NO they’re safe... Such wasted time

Hey, it’s been a while. We’ve been raising kids and digging the Rockaway vibe. What are the local issues you folks are tuned into these days?

[NYC Plover Project @NycPlover]

In 2022, 116 endangered Piping Plovers came to NYC to try to raise their babies. There’s 8.5 million of us. A bit of help and perhaps inconvenience can help save a species. It’s not a hard choice. Join us. #protecttheplovers

@NYPD100Pct @Rockawaytimes Thanks both!

[One Rockaway @NewRockaway]

@Rockawaytimes @NYPD100Pct what’s going on outside on the Blvd. resulting in the street being closed? We’re concerned given the recent shooting.

SNOW!???

[One Rockaway @NewRockaway]

Rockaway friends, any recommendations on an HVAC person that cleans dryer vents?

[One Rockaway @NewRockaway]

Vote!

Some of this thread got cut off, but it’s one approach to water safety in 2023+, given we’re investing in keeping our beaches open to all and better than ever.

[One Rockaway @NewRockaway]

In summer 2022, two separate drowning deaths happened on the same day, blocks apart, within minutes of one another. We need better predict dangerous riptides, especially when they align with heatwaves and even weekends, and we need to act. https://t.co/S45Kc23f64

[One Rockaway @NewRockaway]

Attention: the sun may be coming out briefly.

That is all.

[One Rockaway @NewRockaway]

@bobhardt Thank you, @bobhardt.

gut*-wrenching

[One Rockaway @NewRockaway]

Even on a dreary Monday, even in the rain under construction, our beaches are beautiful.

A brief thread about water safety and saving lives. —>

[One Rockaway @NewRockaway]

It’s guy-wrenching. We mourn. We need the ability to keep lifeguards on overtime on key summer days, like elsewhere.

[One Rockaway @NewRockaway]

Our community wants this. New York City needs this, so that someone’s beach day doesn’t become their last day.

And we urgently need more effective, emphatic, multilingual messaging on ocean safety, riptide awareness and maybe even stark reminders about how common drowning deaths are, from @NYCParks which works so hard on a mission to open our beaches to all each year.
