A New Way To Follow The Mayor's Race

1 week ago | bklyner.com | Liena Zagare

— 3 min read Dear Reader,I’m reaching out with an update and an invitation. As many of you know, Bklyner has been quiet. Like many of you, I’ve spent the past year thinking about what kinds of conversations we need to have to make New York City a better place to live—and how we can move past political drama and sound bites to focus on real solutions.
NYC Department of Transportation Seeks Public Input on Truck Route Network Revamp

1 week ago | bklyner.com | Liena Zagare

Trucks. The ones that cut through residential blocks, are too big to be on local truck routes, get stuck under overpasses, speed on local streets, block traffic, kill residents … I could go on. We've all seen them. But it took the city council passing a local law to get the city's transportation department to finally take a comprehensive look at its truck network and to solicit resident feedback on where and what the issues are.

So here’s the latest!Happy Easter! Luna Park and Deno’s Wonder Wheel in Coney Island are open for the season and expect you to show up at least once.

Endorsement: Brannan for Council District 47

Oct 27, 2023 | bklyner.com | Liena Zagare

I haven’t historically written endorsements in Bklyner, but many of you have asked me in the last couple of days who I think is the better choice for this district that now includes Bay Ridge and Coney Island – Ari Kagan (R) or Justin Brannan (D). And one of the things I’ve learned from years of covering local elections here is just how little guidance voters get. The big citywide editorial boards often don’t endorse.
Should Kagan or Brannan Represent Bay Ridge and Coney Island in City Council?

Oct 25, 2023 | bklyner.com | Liena Zagare

Ahead of the November 7 local elections, when we get to pick our city council members again, NY1 held a debate Tuesday night (you can watch it here) between the two incumbents in what will be the new District 47 – Ari Kagan, a recent Republican representing current Council District 47, and Justin Brannan, a Democrat representing current Council District 43.
We’re Not Under a Rock, Mayor Adams, We’re on a Shrinking One

Oct 4, 2023 | bklyner.com | Justin Cohen

After seven inches of rain punished New York City on Friday, Mayor Eric Adams took almost a whole day to make his first comments about a storm that effectively ground his city, the country’s largest, to a halt. After having seven separate public events without acknowledging the storm, Adams finally commented, lashing out at the populace, that you would have to be living “under a rock” not to have known the storm was coming. If that’s so, Mayor Adams, why was the city so unprepared?
Streets, Migrants, And More

Sep 27, 2023 | bklyner.com | Liena Zagare

The weather has turned pleasant and just about every neighborhood in Brooklyn wants you to come out and enjoy all it has to offer — from Atlantic Antic Downtown, 3rd Avenue Fair in Bay Ridge, art crawls in Ditmas Park and Prospect Lefferts Gardens, to lots of literary events to go with the Brooklyn Book Festival. Or just plain fun.
New Crosswalks By Parade Grounds

Sep 24, 2023 | bklyner.com | Liena Zagare

I could never understand why the Parade Ground entrance facing Prospect Park had no crosswalk. Of course, there is no gate to the park there either, but for decades, locals of all ages and backgrounds have made the mad dash across Parkside Avenue and navigated the hole in the fence, making the steep climb up to the road that leads to all the park could offer.
