If funding does not resume soon, the MTA will be forced to further divert critical funding from other important transportation projects to cover the shortfall and ensure that the project remains on schedule. This is unsustainable and the steady progress on Phase 2 will eventually have to come to a screeching halt.
One of the solutions to the housing crisis can be found in our backyards, our attics, or our basements - in an Ancillary Dwelling Unit. By making it easier for New Yorkers to turn their homes into an extra place for a loved one or a little more income, we're allowing our city to grow while keeping the character of the neighborhoods we love.
on Jan. 1, 2021, at approximately 1:09 a.m., Swygert and others entered the Umbrella Hotel on 82nd Avenue and Queens Boulevard in Kew Gardens where they waited for the elevator. A few minutes later, the three victims exited the elevator and Swygert and his group followed them to the main hotel lobby. Both groups left the hotel and words were exchanged between one of the victims and one of Swygert's companions. A physical fight ensued between the two groups.
I haven't read the specifics, but I do know from firsthand experience how horrible this can be for any family to have their partner, wife, child struck by an electric motorcycle, vehicle - whatever you want to call them. They should have some restrictions. They're not just simple bikes... They're electric vehicles. They should definitely have different standards and rules around them.

A 29-year-old woman was waiting for a bus when a man approached her from behind, pulled out a knife and stabbed her multiple times in the arm, police said. The man then fled on foot. The woman was taken to Elmhurst Hospital, where she remains in stable condition, officials said.

Light pollution, or the excessive or poor use of artificial light at night, is one of the most pervasive forms of environmental alteration caused by humans. Light pollution has many negative impacts, including the disruption of the natural patterns of wildlife, wasted energy and increased output of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases.
I was waiting for the light to turn to walk. [While] I was waiting, all of a sudden, the guy slashed me twice. I yelled, and he looked like he turned around to go. And then just because I yelled, he did it again.
The suspect's alleged crime spree began in Queens on March 13 at around 12:30 p.m. when he hit Chase Bank at 24-16 Queens Plaza South. Using a written note, he demanded money from a teller but cops said he got away with nothing. Just 30 minutes later, he tried again, police said. Torres walked into another Chase, located at 37-67 75 St. in Jackson Heights, passed a note to a teller demanding money and was able to snag around $320.
As commissioner, Gregory will carry forward the transformative projects he helped build, from waste containerization and curbside composting to commercial waste reform... I look forward to working with Gregory to keep pushing forward to build a cleaner, healthier and more just city for all New Yorkers.
