DSNY Issues ‘Snow Alert’ for Sunday, January 31 at 7 p.m. 

Sunday, January 31st, 2021

For Immediate Release

Roadway Dining is Suspended Monday

Alternate Side Parking Suspended on Monday, February 1 and Tuesday, February 2; Meters will be in effect

The New York City Department of Sanitation has issued a Snow Alert for Sunday, January 31 beginning at 7 p.m.

Based on current forecasts, the Department expects snowfall beginning Sunday evening and continuing in to Tuesday morning. Total accumulations in the forecast of up to 18 inches are possible at this time. All winter weather information and information about the City’s response to the storm can be found by visiting the City’s Severe Weather website at www.nyc.gov/severeweather or by calling 311.

In a Snow Alert, the Department coordinates with NYC Emergency Management and the Department of Transportation on snow clearing protocol in accordance with each agency’s written snow plan. All relevant city agencies have been notified of the snow alert.

Operations Update

The Department is expecting significant snowfall, and its workers and equipment are prepared. Salt spreaders are filled and ready to go and will start pretreating roadways ahead of the snowfall this afternoon. Additionally, the Department’s collection trucks have been turned into snow plows, ready to plow once two inches of snow has fallen. The Department has more than 2,000 total vehicles equipped with plows, including salt spreaders. Further, the Department used its “brine trucks” to apply liquid salt to some roadways and bike lanes starting Saturday evening. The brine, spread only before precipitation begins on dry streets, forms a barrier on the streets and helps keep snow and ice from accumulating.

Trash/Recycling Collection:

The Sanitation Workers who collect trash and recycling are the same Sanitation Workers who plow and salt the streets, therefore trash and recycling collection will be delayed during and after snow operations. While residents may put material out at the curb following their normal schedule, snow operations take priority and delays are to be expected.

Alternate Side Parking

In order to facilitate roadway clearing, Alternate Side Parking regulations will be suspended Monday, February 1 and Tuesday, February 2. Meters will be in effect.

Guidance for Open Restaurants 

Open Restaurants roadway dining is SUSPENDED all day Monday, February 1. Additionally, restaurants should remove or secure furniture, and remove electric heaters. Remove the tops of structures if possible or regularly clear snow off of structures to prevent damage. The City will notify restaurants when they may reopen roadway seating for outdoor dining. Based on the current forecast, the City estimates that roadway dining may resume Tuesday, but this may change based on actual accumulations and roadway conditions.

Restaurant owners may find additional information to prepare their spaces for snow at https://www1.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/pedestrians/openrestaurants.shtml.

Protected Bike Lanes

The Department used its “brine trucks” to apply liquid salt to some roadways and bike lanes starting Saturday evening. The brine forms a barrier on the streets and helps keep snow and ice from accumulating.

The City takes the safe passage of our bicycle facilities seriously, especially for the essential workers who need to be out in any weather. However, the Department’s initial focus during an active snow event is to keep our roadways clear for emergency vehicles to ensure New Yorkers never lose access to critical medical, fire and police services. Plowing and salting of bike facilities will begin after the emergency roadway work is underway. Protected bike lanes on main avenues will be addressed first after the end of snowfall, and PBLs on other streets will be addressed within 24-72 hours.

Snow Clearing Information

As a reminder, property owners, including restaurants with outdoor dining structures, may NOT push snow into the street, including bike lanes. This impedes snow clearing operations and is illegal. Snow may be moved against the building, to the curb line, or areas on private property. Sidewalks should be passable for all pedestrians, including a minimum 4-foot clear path, where possible.

New Yorkers are also encouraged to sign up for Notify NYC, the City’s free emergency notification system. Through Notify NYC, New Yorkers can sign up to receive phone calls, text messages, and emails alerts about severe weather events and emergencies. To sign up for Notify NYC, call 311, visit www.nyc.gov or follow @NotifyNYC on Twitter.

DRIVERS GET A SNOW DAY ON TUESDAY

 

 

Alternate side of the street parking (street cleaning) regulations will be suspended on Tuesday, January 26th, for snow operations.

All other parking regulations, including those for parking meters, will remain in effect.

 

STAND UP FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. APPLY FOR MEMBERSHIP ON YOUR COMMUNITY BOARD.

 

 

Make a difference for your neighborhood by serving on a community board, the voice of the people who live or work in the neighborhoods that the board represents.

 

To qualify, you have to live in New York City, be age sixteen or over, and live, work, or have a "professional or other significant interest" in the district that you want to serve in.

 

Community boards are the link between the neighborhood and city agencies and elected officials. An all-volunteer board with a maximum of fifty members represents each neighborhood in New York City, with each board representing a maximum of 250,000 people. Twenty-five members get appointed or reappointed each year.

 

Meetings are open to the public. They're held once a month from September through June. During the pandemic, they've been held online.

 

The Borough President appoints members to the board. City Council members for the district nominate half of the people who get appointed. The number that each City Council member can nominate is based on how much of the district's population that member represents. Terms are for either one year or staggered two-year terms. They start on April 1st.

Some of the committees that board members can join are Economic Development, Education, Health and Mental Health, Housing, Immigration, Land Use/Landmarks, Libraries and Cultural Affairs, Parks, Public Safety, Sanitation, Transportation, and Youth Services.

 

You can apply for membership on a community board by Friday, February 12th, on the Borough President's website here. But first, contact your City Council member to see if they'll nominate you. Their names, the neighborhoods they represent, and their e-mail addresses are posted on the City Council website here.

KENSINGTON DOG RUN VIRTUAL TOWN HALL: PLANNING THE DOG RUN'S FUTURE

This meeting is open to everyone who uses the Kensington Dog Run and is interested in contributing to the future of the park. We encourage you to come and share your ideas for the dog run.

 

Additionally, we hope that after this meeting you will sign up to become a member of the association, and contribute to events like our spring cleanup. Thank you for coming and we are excited to see you soon!

You are invited to a Zoom meeting.
When: Feb 18, 2021 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Register in advance for this meeting:
https://baruch.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUocuGrrjoiEtSI2b0l80lm9zdtfi5fK_SW

 

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

-------------------------------------------------------

 

Grassroots planning and organizing by neighborhood residents brought the idea of the Kensington Dog Run to fruition. In 2014, dog owners in the neighborhood started talking with each other about creating a nearby dog run where dogs could enjoy the benefits  of exercising, socializing, and breathing fresh air off-leash. First they talked as individuals, then they met as a group, and then they formed the Kensington Dog Run Association and became a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization.

 

The Kensington Dog Run had its grand opening in Prospect Park Parade Ground on Monday, July 6, 2020. It is open seven days a week, from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Within the 7,000 square feet of fenced-in space are separated areas for large dogs and small dogs, canine-friendly turf, benches made from reclaimed wood, water fountains, new trees, dog-waste-resistant shrubs, and waste receptacles.

 

The Kensington Dog Run Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

COMPARISON OF COMMUNITY BOARD 12 MEMBERS, 2010 AND 2020

Find out the name of every member of every Brooklyn community board by clicking on "CB __ Membership List" at the bottom of each board's entry at https://www.brooklyn-usa.org/community-boards/. You can also see which City Councilmember nominated each member, the Borough President's choices, and when their terms expire.

 

A community district can have up to fifty volunteer board members. For each district, the Borough President solicits nominations for half of the appointees from the City Council members who represent that district; the number each councilmember can nominate is based on how much of the district's population each councilmember represents. The Borough President can accept or reject a nominee. The Borough President also chooses the other half of the appointees. 

 

Until April 2019, board members didn't have term limits. As of that date, board members are permitted to serve four consecutive two-year terms, take off two years, serve another four consecutive two-year terms, take off two years, etc., etc., etc. However, the terms they served prior to April 2019 aren't counted toward their term limits, so people who had already served for a very long time were still eligible to serve for another eight years after April 2019, take two years off, etc., etc., etc.

 

In 2010, the New York City Councilmembers who represented Community District 12 were

 

• Sara Gonzalez (District 38),
• Brad Lander (District 39), and
  
• David Greenfield (District 44).

KENSINGTON AND WINDSOR TERRACE COMMUNITY CLEANUP

 

UPDATE: A meetup location that focuses on Windsor Terrace has been added. Meet at noon at the Windsor Terrace Library (Fort Hamilton Parkway at E. 5th Street).

 

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

Kensington Street Cleanup

Sunday, January 17th, 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

 

An announcement from Robert Elstein

To the People of Kensington, 

We are going to be walking down each & every block of Kensington, cleaning all of the trash we encounter on Sunday 1/17 beginning at 11:00 a.m.!

We will clean all of Kensington in only 90 minutes!

We need 28 volunteers for the job! We will set up 14 teams of partners who will walk together with a garbage bag or two & gloves. Bring a friend! Or, come prepared to meet someone new! Or, perhaps meet lots of new people! 

Meet up at McDonald and 18th avenues.

Cleanup is the most fulfilling way to make a quick impact on our environment. It’s also a great workout & good socializing! However, due to the pandemic all participants must be physically distanced & masked.

We will have extra masks & garbage bags but please bring your own gloves & hand sanitizer.

(Gloves: we recommend a cheap pair of water resistant, large-fitting gloves, such as the $3.99 ones you can get at the 99 cent store. Plastic disposable gloves are often hard to put back on if you take one off.)

Grabbers and plastic buckets are also great tools for the trade, if you have them!

This whole thing is inspired by you, the incredible people of Kensington, because we all deserve way better than the City is providing.

A cleaner environment in Kensington can improve our emotional well-being, our creativity, even our relationships to others in our community. What we do on Sunday will have a long lasting effect.

I would like to recruit several volunteers to serve as block captains for the day. If you would like to help out in this way, please reach out to me at robert.elstein@gmail.com

Let’s do this!

Sincerely,

Robert Elstein

Meet at the corner of Ocean Parkway and Beverley Road. Bring whatever supplies you have--gloves, pickers, rakes, and trash bags. If have extra supplies to share with others, post it on the event's Facebook page.

 

Wear A Mask. Maintain Social Distancing. Be safe.
