NYC DOT will hold the second Community Advisory Committee meeting for Big Jump and we are inviting local residents, community organizations, city agencies, and elected officials to discuss next steps for this project and provide updates on where we are.

If you would like to attend please RSVP: bigjump@dot.nyc.gov

The Big Jump is a three-year sustained community engagement and planning project with the goals of creating a low-stress bicycle network, improving community outreach, and increasing bicycle ridership in these target neighborhoods. You will hear about bicycle rides, bike related events, programs and important meetings happening in your neighborhood!

There will be a Public Hearing held by CB4 at Elmhurst Hopsital regarding the proposed building; Tuesday, March 13th at 7PM.

This will be discussed at CB3's monthly meeting on Thursday night.

Just saw that the puppy was reunited with his owners. 

Just saw this on FB (dog would have been found August 4th), so reposting:

Most were late at night/early in the morning but one of the latter attacks did occur at 10 AM.

We'd absolutely take him to the vet first, to check for chip and health.

We saw him on Saturday afternoon (Feb. 4), outside same home we first saw him at (west side of 76th street, closer to 34th ave.).  That would lead us to believe he lives there, or at least is fed or finds shelter there. He still looked well-fed, but was a bit dirtier this time. He was bumping/rubbing/crawling under the car in the driveway, though, which was covered with winter grime, so that could explain it.  But he had more of that grungy street cat look.

He let us pet him, although not as much as the first time we saw him - at that point he was very friendly and trusting, and even followed us up AND down the block, several times between 34th and 35th. He basically hung out with us, walking with us and stopping when we did, for almost a half hour... This time he stayed at the driveway and then walked away from us and disappeared behind the car after a minute or two.

We walked past a few times on Sunday and did not see him. I really hope he was curled up somewhere, safe and warm indoors.
