HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO SPRAY FOR ADULT MOSQUITOES IN PARTS OF BROOKLYN AND QUEENS TO REDUCE RISK OF WEST NILE VIRUS

 

Trucks Will Spray Pesticide In Parts Of Brooklyn and Queens On The Nights Of September 2 and 4, 2025, Weather Permitting

 

NEW YORK — To reduce mosquito activity and the risk of West Nile virus, the Health Department will conduct adulticide treatments in Brooklyn and Queens.

 

Trucks will spray pesticides in sections of Queens beginning Tuesday, September 2, 2025, between the hours of 8:30 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. the following morning, weather permitting. In case of bad weather, application in Queens will be delayed until Wednesday, September 3, 2025, between the hours of 8:30 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. the following morning, weather permitting.

 

Trucks will spray pesticides in sections of Brooklyn beginning Thursday, September 4, 2025, between the hours of 8:30 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. the following morning, weather permitting. In case of bad weather, application Brooklyn will be delayed until Monday, September 8, 2025, between the hours of 8:30 P.M. and 6:00 A.M. the following morning, weather permitting.

 

The Health Department will use very low concentrations of Anvil®, Duet®, or MERUS® 3. The risks of pesticides applied by the Health Department for mosquito control are low to people and pets. Some people who are sensitive to spray ingredients may experience short-term eye or throat irritation, or a rash. People with respiratory conditions may also be affected.

 

To stay safe during spraying

 

• Stay indoors, whenever possible.
• Air conditioners can remain on. While unnecessary, you may wish to close air conditioner vents or choose the recirculate function.

 

After spraying

 

• Wash skin and clothing exposed to pesticides with soap and water.
• Always wash fruits and vegetables with water. The most effective way to control mosquitoes is to eliminate any standing water. New Yorkers are also encouraged to mosquito-proof their homes and take precautions when spending time outdoors.

 

Reducing exposure to mosquitoes

 

• Use an approved insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus (not for children under 3), or products that contain the active ingredient IR3535.
• Make sure windows have screens. Repair or replace screens that have tears or holes.
• Eliminate any standing water from your property and dispose of containers that can collect water. Standing water is a violation of the New York City Health Code.
• Make sure roof gutters are clean and draining properly.
• Clean and chlorinate swimming pools, outdoor saunas and hot tubs. Keep them empty or covered if not in use. Drain water that collects in pool covers.

 

Report standing water by calling 311 or visiting nyc.gov/health/wnv. For more information about West Nile virus, call 311 or visit nyc.gov.

THIS COOPERATIVE BULK ORDERING PROJECT PROVIDES YOU WITH FARM-FRESH FOOD WHILE ALSO SUPPORTING MEMBERS OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY

From the Neighborhood Cooperative Food Project:

In 2020, a group of Kensington /Windsor Terrace/Ditmas Park neighbors launched a small bulk buying experiment to prioritize solidarity and safety in the way we buy food and support the local community and economy. 

Our experiment is proving fruitful! And we welcome involvement from more members as our neighborhood needs continue to shift and grow.

Our volunteers currently fulfill 50-60 orders every other week, with around $1,000 of food going towards solidarity needs every round. 

We order directly from nearby Lancaster Farm Co-Op and they deliver bi-weekly in bulk. 

Neighbors pick up their farm-fresh items every other Wednesday morning in three neighborhoods:  

• Kensington, on E. 8th Street, near Caton Avenue, from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
• Windsor Terrace, at Bartel-Pritchard Square, from 10:30 a.m. to noon 
• Flatbush/Ditmas Park, near Newkirk Plaza, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.

Sample items:

• Organic Produce Box, mix of seasonal items: $35.10
• Organic Spicy Greens/Arugula/Baby Spinach: $4.84/5 oz box
• Kombucha: $3.32/12 oz bottle
• Whole or 2% Milk, half gallon: $3.71-$3.97
• Organic Yogurt: $4.21/32 oz
• Organic Tofu: $2.90/15 oz
• Organic Ground Beef: $10.46/lb
• Organic Flour: $13.85/5 lb bag

The food is fresh and delicious! Every paying order helps to cover the cost of an order for those who need support. Each time you order, you can request a solidarity discount as needed, or contribute money towards groceries for others. 

Participating in this project is a fantastic way to feel connected to your neighbors, plus the flexibility and adaptability make it really easy, as you do not need to worry about committing to a whole season of CSA deliveries when you may be traveling or unable to get through all of your items in just a couple of weeks.

However, the flexibility also makes the project tricky, as we never know exactly what the need will be with each order, nor do we know exactly how much coverage we will have to fulfill those needs. 

Please get in touch if you are interested in helping out with your time and labor, a space for an additional distribution spot, a car to help move orders around the neighborhood, or new ideas for fundraising and support.

We are connected to the Kensington-Windsor Terrace Mutual Aid group. 

Reach us at foodcoopproject@gmail.com to sign up and receive details and access to order forms [or leave a voicemail or text at (347-389-1848].

We can always use extra funds to help cover the gaps, so if you would like to make a donation to support solidarity orders, please send through the Open Collective site at https://opencollective.com/gotham-food-pantry/projects/kwtma.

BIKE LANE PROPOSAL FOR MCDONALD AVENUE IS ON THE AGENDA OF THE COMMUNITY BOARD 7 TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE'S VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON MEETING IN SEPTEMBER

 

Community Board 7

Transportation Committee Meeting

Wednesday, September 3rd, 6:30 p.m.

 

From Community Board 7:

The CB7 Transportation Committee will meet on Wednesday, September 3 @ 6:30 p.m. at the CB7 Office-4201 4^th Avenue (enter on 43rd Street & 4^th Avenue).

Agenda:

1. NYC Ferry Route Optimization - 2025 NYC Ferry Network Optimization | NYCEDC; Discuss implications and requests for CB7
    
2. Committee Discussion on McDonald Avenue from 20 St to Ft Hamilton Pkwy - See Presentation from DOT
    
3. Committee Discussion on fall/winter Transportation Committee agenda Items

You can attend in person or register to attend virtually on Zoom: https://bit.ly/3ULuCqO

You can view the committee meeting on the Brooklyn Community Board 7's YouTube Channel: 
https://bit.ly/2ROsJwJ 

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

 

A two-way parking-protected bike lane has been proposed for the west side of McDonald Avenue (the Green-Wood Cemetery side) from the 20th Street/10th Avenue intersection to Fort Hamilton Parkway.

The Department of Transportation presented its proposal to the Community Board 7 Transportation Committee at the committee's in-person and virtual meeting on June 10th.

Vehicles would travel in one northbound lane and one southbound lane; the center lane would become a turn lane.

Bus boarding islands would be constructed to prevent buses from interfering with the flow of traffic when they stop to let passengers on and off.

The bus stop at Terrace Place and McDonald Avenue would be eliminated. 

The length of the traffic signals would be coordinated; they currently last for varying lengths of time.

A physical barrier between the bike lane and vehicle traffic would eventually be installed, but initially, paint would serve as an indication to drivers to stay out of the bike lane.

At the June 10th meeting, committee members and neighborhood residents raised a number of questions and issues about the proposal. Because committee members said that they needed time to consider the proposal as well as to study residents' comments, they didn't vote on the proposal on June 10th. 

The discussion will continue at a Transportation Committee meeting on Wednesday, September 3rd. 

The entire June 10th committee meeting can be viewed on CB 7's YouTube page at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6UAzgCXhdc. The presentation about the bike lane starts at 1:12:45.

KENSINGTON DOG RUN FIFTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION (FREE)

 

Celebrate the 5th Anniversary of the Kensington Dog Run on Saturday, August 9th, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. 

 

Food and drinks will be served. Or bring your favorite refreshments, if you like.

Located on Coney Island Avenue in the Parade Ground near Prospect Park, the Kensington Dog Run opened in 2020. It came to fruition after years of grassroots planning and organizing by neighborhood dog owners who wanted to create a dog run where dogs could enjoy the benefits of exercising, socializing, and breathing fresh air off-leash.

The project was made possible with allocated funds via Participatory Budgeting from New York City Councilmember Mathieu Eugene of District 40 and via Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams' capital allocations. The balance of the funds needed were covered by Councilmember Brad Lander of District 39. 

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

National Night Out Against Crime is held annually on the first Tuesday in August. The National Association of Town Watch created the event in 1984. 

Prior to that, in the 1970s, as one aspect of the Women's Liberation Movement, women created their own non-governmental, grass-roots event--called "Take Back the Night"--with the goal of protesting and deterring violence against women through their visible presence outdoors.

From the website of National Association of Town Watch:

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live.

We can't wait to see you there, and to share this joy with one another.
