I worked on that same floor, same building when MTA was there in the 90's

do we need to make a visit to his home like we did with Patel and banks?

So you would prefer a nuclear reactor in neighborhood rather than a battery storage 🤔

Canadian solar firms and hedge funds are snatching up our farmland in the NY north country, and smothering it with solar panels. Wintertime effectiveness: 8% of capacity. Where are we going to get the electricity to power all these new residential heat pumps with which lefty city and state regulations are replacing gas heating boilers? We're getting wintertime brownouts already.

It's sad that this needs to be explained, but the FDNY reports to the mayor. Eric Adams, and now Zohran Mamdani, are bought by anti-car lobbying groups, so their commissioners greenlight awful road designs which place obstructions in roads that hinder emergency response. Both mayors also wanted City of Yes to help their real estate buddies, therefore their FDNY Commissioners have endorsed battery farms near homes and schools as being "perfectly safe." ...

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.

Great points

Cutouts are reliant on motorists doing the right thing (and delivery vehicles not using them). Waiting for DOT to implement cutouts is piling a bad answer on top of an ineffective plan. Here’s a suggestion: keep emergency vehicles OFF OF LOCAL SINGLE LANES. Emergency vehicles should travel in the express lanes on Queens Boulevard, and safely cut ACROSS the local lane when they reach their destination just like they would cut across oncoming lanes of express and local traffic if they were coming from the opposite direction. This is a matter of policy - no infrastructure changes are necessary to implement it immediately. It would be a bonus if emergency vehicles also had traffic signal controls to prevent traffic from continuing on the local lane, and possibly prevent cross traffic from proceeding as well, but that would require significant infrastructure upgrades on both traffic signals and emergency vehicles.

So refreshing hearing a politician speaking about things that matter/make sense, in his community, in an effort to make things better. COUNCILMAN WONG ROCKS!!! 💪🇺🇸💪

The whole idea of open streets in this city is ridiculous, dangerous and they should put it back the way it was.

Glad to hear him addressing a very important safety issue. Keep up the good work.

We've poked fun at every mayor on the cover of the Juniper Berry but seem to have upset some people with this one. 🤣

At least he’s not selling hats, flags, and other merch plastered with his name. New Yorkers would never stand for that!

They left out skyrocketing property taxes.

Oh, for cryin out loud. I come here to read fairly intelligent discussions on a matter of subjects. Especially the IBX. This ain't it.

Saving snowballs in my freezer for when he shows up.

Best cover ever!

Nothing wrong with poking politicians. It's an American tradition.

At least he’s not taking money from his own country and lining he and his families pockets.

I’ve heard and somewhat agree that one inherent trait of NYers is that we hate our mayors. I suppose that’s true to a point. We’ll see how the new kid fares.

Thank all the Transplants who ruined NYC and voter for this poor excuse of a Mayor!!

You get what you vote for . Elections have there consequences 🤷‍♂️ Wake up Democrats

He is a Communist that want to raise tax and give it to illegals and its that simple

Anyone who takes the Queens Blvd subway lines will tell you that you can't get to Elmhurst Park in 30 minutes from Midtown now, but that's what we're being told by MTA. This presentation was given this afternoon. Big Real Estate really wants that Grand Avenue stop! ... See MoreSee Less
