Prez FDNY Union: "Lives in danger" from the road sheds
Dear Neighbor and Allied Groups,
Below, please watch the video of Andrew Ansboro, President of the
Uniformed Firefighters Association, powerful statement on the road bed
dining sheds. He clearly states "lives in danger". You can read his statement here.
Tomorrow
will be Mayor Adams' and City Council's first step to making Open
Restaurant permanent. The torpedoing of this legislation is nothing
shocking. The Hospitality Alliance and Open Plans New York have
been lobbying hard for this to happen. But, tomorrow will be one of the only chances for the public to push back.
Please take to time to provide testimony tomorrow on Zoom or via written testimony (by Thurs 11:59 PM). The how-to-do-this is laid out below. Or, click here.
If
the text amendment passes, our streets will forever be altered, and our
quality of life upended. This is not hyperbolic. Department of
Transportation will be granted enormous amounts of power and latitude to
dictate the future of our streets. City Council is not only ceding our
lands to one business sector and landlords but diminishing their checks
and balances over DOT. The amendments (and there are quite a few
scheduled) on the table tomorrow will allow DOT full rule-making authority with very little oversight.
**Sign up anyway just in case (as
opposed to Open Restaurant amendment) with a backup plan to submit
written testimony by the deadline (or do both). Tomorrow
will be a long day of testimony. Over 100 people have registered so
far, but we fear it is mostly Hospitality and Open Plans NY members and
supporters. So help stack the deck our way!
Public
testimony will begin immediately following the testimony of any invited
experts and will be limited to two minutes per person to allow as many
people as possible to present their views.
Members of the public can sign up to testify
via Zoom Web or phone at least 24 hours in advance of the hearing.
Translators are available, see sign-up ASAP. Please check your SPAM for a
confirmation email.

ron s said... I see no problems with road sheds to help the City recover faster. I used them often when working late and never felt unsafe or in danger.
I've driven on 30th (Grand) Avenue in Astoria when I witnessed a fire truck blaring its horn trying to get past the cars, motor bikes, busses, and those ugly oversized ramshackle shacks*. Your house or apartment WILL be in danger because of this restaurant mess and you will DIE burning to death or inhaling smoke.
*And what kind of asshole wants to "dine" sitting in the gutter?
What is the shed leader shanty town CRACKA doing with a CRACKA woman on his right? IS he CRACKING up or wanna CRACK her open? Or Bulding CRACK Better? WTF, where is the commie TA punk when you need one. Damn.

Ronnie boy go see a shrink. The city was amply looted and destroyed. So was the economy. What the heck recovery are you talking about? Dinning in sheds?

I wonder what these people are going to do when their grocery store shelfs start becoming bare? No truckers means no supplies coming in.

Sheds for the Sheeple.
The elite care about the working class, as long as they don’t have to see or hear them.
It’s not about spreading the virus, it’s about control.
Now that we have a third world mayor is time to have a matching third world city.
Way to go.
Typical Karens whining about these outdoor restaurants. Get a life!
The city where no one has money and everyone eats out.
