The nation’s largest curbside electric vehicle charging network is coming to NYC! We're expanding curbside charging from 100 plugs to 700 thanks to a $15 million U.S. Department of Transportation grant. This will help phase out fossil fuel vehicles and support the electrification of NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission.

Closing Rikers by August 31, 2027 is the law, and @nycmayor must follow it. New Yorkers need action NOW to invest in real solutions for public safety and erase this stain on our City once and for all. #CloseRikers

Proud to be part of a City Council that fought tooth and nail to restore the childcare cuts. Also thrilled to be part of the working group focused on improving the system. Now it's time to get to work to make sure we are expanding seats & access - never cutting another $.

Please note our office will be closed for Labor Day weekend. We hope you have a wonderful and restful holiday weekend!

REMINDER: There will be no trash, curbside compost or recycling collection on Monday, September 2, Labor Day. Residents who normally receive collections on Monday should place their material at the curb Monday evening for collection starting Tuesday, September 3.

After years of advocating with NYC H2O, Ridgewood Rides, and others, I'm excited to share NYC DOT plans for two-way protected bike lanes and added sidewalks on Cypress Ave into the Ridgewood Reservoir! This is a HUGE safety win! Thanks NYC DOT for making it happen!

Today my office is proud to release our Employer Violations Dashboard, a new transparency and accountability tool. Think of it as a “Wall of Shame” for NYC employers. comptroller.nyc.gov/employer-viola…

Buy fresh and locally sourced fruits, vegtables, bread & more at the Ridgewood Farmstand! The Ridgewood Farmstand is located on cypress ave. between myrtle & putnam ave. and is open every Saturday from 9 AM-1:30 PM. I am always proud to support better access to quality food!

We did it ya'll. The G train is back with more reliable more frequent service.

Our City and State are failing to address the culture of sexual violence against women at Rikers with the urgency it needs. I’ll have more to say later today, but the recent behavior alleged here is horrible and seems to lack any accountability. gothamist.com/news/women-acc…

This is a very big deal for residents of Bushwick and Ridgewood who love the Ridgewood Reservoir and Highland Park! 🙌🏽

Please tell me what this robot could do and do well at this point.

"Since Mayor Eric Adams took office, The City University of New York has endured nearly $100 mil in city funding cuts. Even as city revenue projections have improved, his administration has doubled down on austerity, leaving more than 400 academic & student support staff positions at community colleges vacant."

As students begin the new school year, some will face the challenge of moving between shelters every 60 days. @cndelarosa, Alexa Avilés, @nyccomptroller, and I joined advocates, unions, and families to urge the Mayor to eliminate the 60-day rule.

Family Day at Independence was so much fun! I had a great time meeting with folks, families, and orginizations from the community. Events like these are so important for the neighborhood and I'm glad we we're able to get together as this summer comes to a close. Until next year!
