NEW LOOK FOR THE ANA BULLETIN BOARD

The ANA bulletin board

The newly-redesigned bulletin board of the Albemarle Neighborhood Association (ANA) looks bright and cheery. The board is on the wall in Foodtown near the cashiers. With fall approaching, be on the lookout for announcements about ANA's fall meeting schedule.

The focus of ANA since its founding in 1973--it's the oldest neighborhood association in Brooklyn--has been safety, security, and quality of life, concerns shared by all residents. Guest speakers have been the police precinct commander, Brooklyn borough president, city councilmember, state assemblymember, Sanitation Department, MTA, owner of Foodtown, and more.

Meetings are open to members and to non-members. No fee is charged to attend a meeting.

Non-members are welcome to join ANA and strengthen its numbers. Membership is open to anyone who resides in or owns a business in the area that ANA serves. Dues cost $20 per year for an individual or a family. Associate Membership dues for business owners cost $25 per year.

ANA meets once a month on a Thursday during the months of September, October, November, March, April, May, and June, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

TINY SHOES HAS GONE TO DOGGIE HEAVEN

                                                                       video by Charlie Spickler

Sweet little Tiny Shoes, the beloved resident furbaby at The Hamilton Dog House, passed away on Monday, August 26th. Tiny Shoes could be found behind the counter, always ready and willing to accept the attention and love bestowed on her, unless she was out strolling with one of her many child and adult fans. Rest in peace, Tiny Shoes, you darling little doggie.

MOVEMENT ON SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS AT THE CHURCH AVENUE-OCEAN PARKWAY INTERSECTION

Good news for pedestrians who cross Ocean Parkway at Church Avenue: the final design for safety improvements at the Church Avenue-Ocean Parkway intersection will be completed in September and construction will begin in the fall.

The New York State Department of Transportation gives these specific details on its website:

• A pedestrian refuge area--an island--will be constructed on the north side (the Prospect Expressway side) of the intersection. This island in the middle of an ocean of traffic will give pedestrians a safer place to stand when they don't make it all the way across Ocean Parkway on one green light. It will also shorten the distance between the eastern and western sides of Church Avenue.
• New pedestrian signals and protective barriers will be installed on the pedestrian refuge island. New pavement striping will reduce traffic lane widths and provide space for the island.
• High visibility crosswalk markings will be installed on the north side of the intersection.
• New flashing signals with yellow arrows for right-turning vehicles will be added, warning motorists to proceed with caution and yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk.
• New "Traffic Signal Ahead" signs will be installed along the south-bound Prospect Expressway.
• Speed limit signs will be installed on Ocean Parkway.
• Warning signs will be replaced.

The $200,000 allocated in April 2012 for these safety improvements (through the participatory budgeting process) will finally be used.

PEDESTRIANS IN DANGER AT CATON AND MCDONALD: A MEETING IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH PUBLIC OFFICIALS

Pedestrian Safety at Caton at McDonald:

 A Meeting of Neighbors, the DOT, and the NYPD

Wednesday, August 28th, 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.

At a public meeting tomorrow in Brooklyn Prospect Charter School, Windsor Terrace and Kensington residents will be able to talk with the Brooklyn Borough Commissioner for the Department of Transportation, a representative from the 72nd Police Precinct, and Assemblymember Jim Brennan, who is holding this open forum.

The conversation will be about how dangerous the intersection at Caton and McDonald avenues is for pedestrians of all ages and abilities. Troy Martin, whose son was hit by an electric delivery bicycle in June as he and his son were crossing Caton together (Child Struck at High-risk Intersection), wants a crossing guard stationed there.

Have you ever witnessed an accident there? Vehicles breezing through red lights? Cars or trucks blocking a crosswalk so that pedestrians have to walk in a lane of traffic? Any other kind of dangerous driving? Please go to the meeting to tell your story and urge the officials to help us cross in safety.

Anyone who can't attend the meeting is invited to put their thoughts and observations in an e-mail and send it to Mary Kay Seery, Assemblymember Brennan's legislative aide (seerym @ assembly.state.ny.us).

Meeting location
Brooklyn Prospect Charter School
(in the building that used to be Immaculate Heart of Mary School)
3002 Fort Hamilton Parkway
between E. 2nd and E. 3rd streets
Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn

Go to the Fort Hamilton Parkway entrance to the school where Ms. Seery will direct you to the meeting room.

GENTRIFICATION LEADS TO TOO MUCH FROZEN YOGURT

Some Park Slope residents are unhappy about the increasing number of frozen yogurt shops in their neighborhood. Even frozen yogurt's biggest fans have got to be questioning how much is enough. And...they're all chain stores. 

Meanwhile, on the Upper West Side, two more frozen yogurt shops are scheduled to open soon on Amsterdam Avenue, bringing the total to eight on the stretch from 72nd to 86th. Every one of them is part of a chain.

Chain stores, with their overabundance and sameness, are among the many negative results of gentrification. The space they take up--one, two, or three stores' worth--would be better occupied by independent small businesses that cater to the needs of the neighborhoods they serve.

ROBBERY AT FHP AND 39TH STREET

A robbery was committed at gunpoint at about 12:30 this morning (Tuesday) in the 66th Precinct.

A Hispanic male with a knapsack, dressed in blue jeans or pants, fled the scene of the crime at 3901 Fort Hamilton Parkway at 39th Street in Borough Park .

MISSING PERSON: BRITTANY BEY, YOUNG MOM

Brittany Bey, 18 years old, a resident of Bedford-Stuyvesant, has been missing since Wednesday, August 14, 2013. She is still missing as of August 25th.

Brittany was last seen wearing a beige skirt with black dots and a black top. She has a sliver piercing under her lip on her chin and on the back of her neck. She might be wearing a tongue piercing stud.

Her mother describes her as passive and quiet. She has been suffering from postpartum depression after giving birth seventeen months ago. Her family and her young son miss her dearly.

If anyone has information about Brittany, call her mother, Trina Bey, at (347) 693-5402 or (347) 413-6930.

SAVING LIVES, ONE TREE AT A TIME

Tree Pit Brigade members

For many years, Church Avenue was nearly barren, with an average of less than one tree per block from Coney Island Avenue to 36th Street. Now that we have many more trees on our main shopping street, the Tree Pit Brigade has formed to make sure that they survive.

Each Tuesday morning, the Tree Pit Brigade goes out and improves the life of one tree on Church Avenue. Why do we care so much about trees anyway?

Aside from looking beautiful, trees do a lot for us. Their leaves capture particulate waste emissions from cars. They provide shade for the elderly on their way to Astoria Federal Savings bank. Trees reduce the heat island effect of raised temperatures found in cities. The presence of trees increases property values by up to 10% and can attract customers to businesses. Trees provide homes for birds, animals, and insects.

Unfortunately, street trees have a tough life and they need our love. What exactly do street trees need that they don’t already get? As it turns out, a lot!

Street trees have a tough life for three main reasons.

1) Street Trees Are Thirsty Because People Step on the Soil.

Trees in the forest get water and nutrients through natural processes. A tree’s roots,which do all of the drinking and eating, spread far beyond the canopy of the tree. Root spread can be up to two to three times the size of the canopy. (London Plane tree canopy width can be up to 80 feet wide!)

But for a street tree, this area is limited to the size of the tree pit, which can be as small as two feet square, whereas it normally might be 10 or 20 feet square. It is very hard for a tree to get enough food and water when the area of its mouth is reduced by 90%. When people, animals, shopping carts, and bicycles trample across the soil surrounding a tree, the soil becomes tight and compacted.

Have you ever seen puddles form around street trees when it rains? That happens because the soil has been tamped down so tightly that the water can’t get through it to the tree’s roots, which would gladly drink it up. In the forest, fewer feet trample across the land, and more animals dig it up to aerate it. Animals burrow in the soil; worms meander through. This ensures that the soil is not tight and the rain can get to the tree’s roots.

2) Street Trees Are Damaged Easily.

Imagine if whenever you got a scratch on your back, your arm or leg fell off?That’s exactly what can happen to a tree when a car door bashes into it or a bike is chained to its trunk. Street trees are more likely to suffer these kinds of injuries, especially those without tree pit guards.

3) Street Trees Suffer From Careless Waste.
Some owners allow their dogs to “mark” or “water” trees. Did you know that urine can damage tree trunks and leave them exposed to insect infestations? Dog poop harms trees too--it is not compost. It throws the soil's nutrients out of balance. People unwittingly throw garbage, cigarette butts, and liquid waste into tree pits; all of these leach chemicals into the soil.

That’s where the Tree Pit Brigade comes in! Our team of neighbors, WHO ARE JUST LIKE YOU, meets each week to protect one tree. We first assess a merchant’s willingness to water a tree. If a merchant says that he or she will water a tree, we  amend the soil by adding compost, plant a few plants, and mulch. The compost feeds the tree necessary nutrients, and the mulch keeps the water in. Our Mini Grant from Million Trees NYC has provided us with $1,000 to purchase Treegators ® and other supplies. We are distributing these as rewards to participating Church Ave. merchants.

We are also working with City Councilmember Brad Lander’s office to get tree pit guards to further protect the trees. However, his budget is not large enough to protect all of the trees on Church Ave. Catherine Zinnel, Brad Lander’s District Director, has promised the Kensington community that we will receive up to twelve tree guards. The Tree Pit Brigade plans to build simple guards for the unprotected trees when we have enough volunteers and money to do it.

If you want to meet your neighbors and protect our trees, we can use your help working in the tree pits on Tuesdays and picking up compost and mulch on Thursdays or Fridays.

If weekdays aren’t convenient for you, please mark your calendar and join us on Sunday, September 15th, for the Tree Pit Brigade Parade. We will give a little “TreeLC” to up to 20 trees on Church Ave., and we need your help to do it! Join us from 11 a.m. to noon to learn how to care for trees and from noon to 2 p.m. to put your tree care knowledge to work by amending soil, planting bulbs and plants, and mulching trees.

All attendees of the Tree Pit Brigade Parade will be entered in a raffle to win fabulous prizes, including an on-the-ground tree pruning, a plant, leather-clad gardening gloves, or a beautiful flower-patterned garden tool set.

Please contact Bridget at evergreen827 [at] aol [dot] com for more details!

READY FOR NYS DOT TO ACT AT CHURCH AVE. AND OCEAN PARKWAY

Together, City Councilmember Brad Lander, residents of Kensington, and  transportation safety advocates presented a petition for improved pedestrian safety at the Church Avenue crossing of Ocean Parkway to the staff at Governor Cuomo's Manhattan office.

Calls and e-mails Mr. Lander received from constituents distraught over the death of Ngozi Agbim under the wheels of a "big rig" inspired Lander to create the petition, "Our Neighborhood Is Not a Highway," which amassed 831 signatures.

Constituents demanded to know why the safety measures they voted for during the participatory budgeting process in March 2012, to be funded by money set aside in Councilmember Lander's budget, hadn't been implemented.

After hearing from Councilmember Lander and State Assemblymember Jim Brennan, the New York State Department of Transportation wrote a letter on August 13th to Mr. Brennan and others stating that it is studying the intersection and considering improvements, including the ones District 39 voted for.

New York CBS Local reported that on Wednesday, August 21st "the state DOT said it had worked out the problem with the design and will soon move forward."

Streetsblog quoted NYS DOT as saying on Thursday "'We’re in general agreement about the improvements, with some details still to be ironed out,'" spokesperson Adam S. Levine said in an e-mail to Streetsblog.

"The improvements include a pedestrian refuge island on the north crosswalk…protective barriers, lane channelization, additional signage and modifications to the traffic signals at the intersection."

State DOT says it expects "'to work out the details in the coming days,'" with a final design before mid-September."

GOVERNOR CUOMO, HERE'S OUR OCEAN PARKWAY SAFETY PETITION

We aren't asking for much. Just an improvement in road conditions so that when we cross Ocean Parkway at Church Avenue, we won't get maimed--or run over and killed, like Ngozi Agbim did in June when she was crossing there.

We, the people of City Council District 39, voted during the participatory budgeting process in March 2012 to spend $200,000 of Councilmember Brad Lander's budget on eliminating pedestrian hazards at this intersection. To date, while other projects voted for have been completed or are at least underway, nothing has been accomplished at the intersection. The danger remains unabated.

The June 2013 update on Councilmember Brad Lander's website reports that "NYSDOT [New York State Department of Transportation] declined to approve the safety upgrade proposed by NYCDOT [New York City Department of Transportation]." He asks people to "Please sign the petition to NYSDOT, calling on the agency to respect our community's vote and move forward with this project."

Now NYSDOT has stated in a letter written on August 13th that it's been "working closely with NYC DOT to study this intersection and to review potential changes that can enhance safety for pedestrians and still ensure safety for all other modes of travel," including a pedestrian refuge area.

Councilmember Lander will bring the "Our Neighborhood Is Not a Highway" petition with 831 signatures to Governor Cuomo’s office today (Thursday, August 22nd) at 11:00 am. If you can, join him in Manhattan outside the Governor’s office at 633 3rd Avenue, near 41st Street.

GOAL MET FOR HELPING JAY RUIZ PAY HIS INITIAL MEDICAL BILLS

Clients, friends, and admirers of Jay "Rocket" Ruiz have met the $3,000 fund raising goal set up on gofundme.com to help him pay his medical bills. Jay is the president of Brooklyn Bike Patrol (BBP), the all-volunteer organization he founded two years ago to safeguard the women of Brooklyn against an epidemic of sexual assaults by providing them with a safe walk home.

Jay survived a heart attack this summer on June 8th and a second one on June 10th. A few days later, he unhappily announced the end of BBP. On July 2nd, he had recuperated enough to announce that BBP would return. And on August 2nd, he and his loyal agents were back on track.

But last week, on August 9th, Jay passed out on the subway. He had to have a defibrillator implanted. Our uninsured Brooklyn hero will have more medical bills to pay, so another fund raiser may be needed. We'll let you know if Jay, the helper, needs help.

Jay Ruiz founded Brooklyn Bike Patrol on September 14, 2011, because he saw a TV news segment about the sexual assaults being committed against women in Brooklyn and knew he had to help prevent the continuation of this crime wave. He started walking women home from subway stations late at night.

That's how Brooklyn Bike Patrol started out--one man riding one bike to a handful of subway stations and making himself available to walk one woman home at a time. Now Jay and his agents service all of these neighborhoods: 

• Bedford Stuyvesant,
• Bensonhurst,
• Borough Park,
• Brooklyn Heights,
• Bushwick,
• Carroll Garden,
• Clinton Hill,
• Ditnas Park,
• Dumbo,
• Dyker Heights,
• Ft. Greene,
• Greenpoint,
• Kensington,
• Park Slope,
• Propect Heights,
• Red Hook,
• Sunset Park,
• Williamsburg, and
• Windsor Terrace.

Jay had recently been screening potential volunteers. He'd like to interview some more. To volunteer for BBP, send an e-mail to brooklynbikepatrol [at] gmail [dot] com.

Before Jay's initial hospitalization, Brooklyn Bike Patrol operated its free service Sundays through Thursdays from 8:00 p.m. to midnight and on Fridays and Saturdays from 10:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. Since their return on August 2nd, BBP agents have been escorting people home on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. In September, they'll resume their 7-days-per-week schedule.

Call (718) 744-7592 to pre-arrange for an agent to meet you at a subway station or elsewhere. Call BBP 45 minutes before you expect to arrive at the station.
