Pogozelski plans to push to bring Citibike to Middle Village and remove 8 parking spaces per intersection ("daylighting") because he wants votes from Ridgewood.
I've never heard a politician address the parking problem.
We don't need citi bike taking away parking spots. We need less politicians interfering for their own benefit

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.I have a question- why is his family name on the score board in the James Bohan hockey ring at Juniper Park?
omg

Cheat sheet for the new bus routing.
Any changes to the Q47?
Will the 14 connect with the 47 at 80th and Eliot ??
The Q39 also has different last stop
Mike Quigley
Middle Village South bus service has been basically removed. The buses from Middle Village North go to nowhere. It shows you that no matter how much noise you make, it doesn’t matter. The MTA will do whatever it wants.
Terrible for people who travel from Eliot to metro. Have to change busses after decades of having one ride. North middle village to Christ the King or the M train requires a bus change, in rain or snow. Terrible plan.
Horrible redesign
Thanks
