GOOD NEWS for City Island Straphangers! The MTA has advised that the Kilroe Street Bus Stop will be restored in early November! The stop had been temporarily suspended due to construction at Bridge Park.

The scooters technically do not work in Pelham Bay Park, so its a mystery why so many were left stranded there. In any event, due to member concerns, we did contact @LimeScooters_ who eventually removed them.

#MembersInAction🙌. Thank you to Pell Place neighbors who brought this long abandoned vehicle to our attention. After three weeks, the @NYPD45Pct had it removed last Wednesday! Thank you 45 Team!!

You asked- “What’s going on with the School Yard Construction? Why has it stopped??”

Thank you to NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and our wonderful instructor, Sarah, for a fun and informative Narcan training! Accidental overdoses continue to plague our area and we can all do something to help those suffering from the disease of addiction.
