Work Being Done To ImproveTraffic And Safety In LIC

Urge For Full Funding For Law EnforcementAnd Crime Prevention Program

Senator Michael Gianaris andAssemblymember AravellaSimotas are working together toimprove traffic and safety mea-sures for local residents and work-ers in western Queens, specificallythose located near 14th Street be-tween 34th Avenue and 33rd Roadin Long Island City. SenatorGianaris and AssemblymemberSimotas sent a letter to the NewYork City Department of Trans-portation (NYC DOT) requestingthe establishment of angled park-ing at these streets due to an inad-equate amount of available park-ing spaces in the area.

The limited spaces availableare already in high demand from

the thousands of residents who livenearby, especially in the highlypopulated developments of theQueensview Homes, RavenswoodHouses and the Estates of Hallet’sCove. Long Island City HighSchool and a Department of Sani-tation facility are also in the vicin-ity, bringing additional traffic tothe area.

“As Long Island City contin-ues to develop, it is important thatour infrastructure keeps pace,”Senator Gianaris said. “I am hope-ful DOT will acknowledge therapid growth in this area and meetthe growing parking needs so thatLIC can continue attracting moreresidents, workers and businesses.”

In addition, Senator Gianarisand Assemblymember Simotas areasking that alternate-side parkingbe implemented on 14th Street tocombat the pollution and litterbuildup caused by the high volumeof drivers who frequent the area.

“As a government, we have aresponsibility to adjust to the de-mands of growing neighborhoodslike Long Island City,”Assemblymember Simotas said.“The actions we are request-ing from the DOT would helpensure that our community’sresidents and workers are pro-vided with clean streets andadequate parking space asthey go about their daily lives.”

With local government bud-gets across New York hit hard dur-ing the economic downturn, U.S.Senator Kirsten Gillibrand urgedSenate Leaders to fully fund theByrne Competitive Grants Pro-gram adminis-tered by theU.S. Depart-ment of Justice.In 2009, orga-nizations inNew York re-ceived $19.4 million in grants forthe continuation or establishmentof crime prevention programs.

In her letter to the Appropria-tions Committee, SenatorGillibrand wrote, “Many local agen-cies have to make devastating bud-get cuts, eliminating positions thatthey cannot afford to go without.Local police departments have notbeen immune to this reality, withmany facing a lack of critical re-

sources and support. These fiscalconstraints are also being felt by thenon-profit organizations and ser-vice providers that complement theprotection and services that policeprovide to our communities.”

The Byrne Competitive GrantsProgram provides important re-sources that allow for the continu-ation or establishment of crimeprevention programs and assistslocal law enforcement agencies toimprove the criminal justice sys-tem. By supporting national, stateand local crime prevention initia-tives, this program allows for safercommunities in this time of fiscaluncertainty. The Byrne Competi-

tive Grants Program also assistslocal law enforcement agencies todevelop innovative approaches toreducing crime in the communitiesthat they serve and reduce the strainon local budgets. By preventing

crime from happeningin the first place, thesegrants can help pavethe way toward a saferfuture for communitiesacross the country.

Byrne Competi-tive Program grants focus on arange of initiatives, such as im-proving services available tovictims of crime, reducing vio-lent crime through community-based data-driven programs,boosting civilian support per-sonnel such as training staffand analysts, funding neighbor-hood-based probation and pa-role officers, and cracking downon mortgage fraud.

In 2009, Organizations Across NewYork State Received $19.4 Million In

Byrne Competitive Grants

The proposed elimination of the COPS Office is included in the FY2012 Commerce, Justice, Science andRelated Agencies Appropriations bill. The COPS Office’s programs include the COPS Hiring Program, whichprovided $240 million in federal aid this year to help communities keep police officers on the job.

“House Republicans have been pursuing a job-killing agenda for months, but it’s appalling that the jobsthey’re going after now are those of police officers protecting communities across the nation,” Maloney said. “Alljobs are important, but it’s especially important to protect those held by cops and firefighters from the budget axe.I urge my colleagues on the Appropriations Committee to reject this wrongheaded cut, and I thank my colleagueBill Pascrell for his leadership on this vital issue.

AN EYE ON GUTHRIE

A QUESTION AND ANSWER COLUMN

Hi Doctor Guthrie...Sometimes I feel like I see a fly out of the corner

of my eye. It’s like these little black spots. They

seem to stay in the same place. It’s weird

because I only see them in certain lighting.

Should I get an ophthalmology exam?

Floaters as they are commonly called are not unusual as we age. The “gelatin-like” matrix in our eyes(vitreous humor) occasionally collapses or gets some bloodstuck in it causing us to see shadows seemingly dance before our eyes. Much of thetime these floaters are not ominous. Occasionally the sudden onset offloaters(sometimes perceived as a spiderweb) and at times accompanied by a flashof light may indicate a retinal tear or retinal detachment. It’s impossible to knowif a person is having a benign floater or a more serious retinal problem without athorough eye exam which includes dilation. Dilation of the pupil allows for apanoramic view of the retina. I have a good analogy that I tell my patients to helpthem understand why it is necessary to be dilated; it is the difference betweenlooking into a room through a keyhole vs opening the door and stepping in andreally seeing all the walls of the room. The most important message is that annualophthalmology exams are very important. Someone with long term floaters shouldabsolutely have a comprehensive eye exam with dilation. Remember to bring yoursunglasses and try to bring another driver with you as you will be a bit blurry forup to six hours. I stress to my patients all the time how important it is to take careof your eyes and lead a healthy lifestyle.

75th Anniversary Of The RFK Bridge“New York City is known for its ability to unify diverse communities from around the

world, and no landmark better symbolizes that unique characteristic than the RFK Bridge.This iconic structure allows New Yorkers from all over the city to easily connect with oneanother and learn about the distinguished aspects of their respective cultures.”

–Statement from Senator Gianaris

June Jobs ReportRep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) issued the following statement uponrelease of the June jobs report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

“The numbers show the barest possible job growth in the month of June. There’s no wayto sugar-coat it — it will clearly take more work to fully restore the economy. Yet sinceRepublicans regained the House majority, they haven’t offered a plan to create jobs — letalone pass a single direct job-creation bill. They seem far more focused on delayingfinancial reforms meant to prevent another crisis, preserving corporate tax breaks, andending Medicare as we know it, while protecting the highest-income Americans frompaying their fair share. It’s a recipe that should give middle-class Americans pause.”

Restoration OfWoodside RoadwayRESURFACING ADDRESSES SEVEN-BLOCK AREA

NEEDING MORE THAN POTHOLE REPAIR

Council Member Jimmy Van Bramerand New York City Department of Trans-portation (DOT) Commissioner JanetteSadik-Khan today announced that DOT iscompleting a resurfacing of a critical, seven-block stretch of Roosevelt Avenue between51st and 58th streets in Woodside designedto restore a seven-block section of a keyQueens corridor in need of improvement.CM Van Bramer has worked in conjunctionwith DOT to expedite repairs of the 1.4 lanemiles of this well-used corridor. In recentmonths, Van Bramer and DOT have col-laborated on several transportation issues toenhance safety and improve quality of life,including the installation of speed humps onMaurice Avenue and changing parking regu-lations on Queens Boulevard. The resurfac-ing operation on Roosevelt, which is com-posed of milling and paving phases, pro-vides extensive repairs to the roadway’ssurface severely damaged by record snow-falls, fluctuating temperatures and whichsimple pothole repairs are not enough. ADOT crew began milling overnight the pre-vious week, and concluded with the pavingof fresh asphalt.

“Our streets are the gateways to ourneighborhoods and they need to be in astate of good repair to keep pace with the

demands placed on them,” said Commis-sioner Sadik-Khan. “By taking aggressivesteps to resurface key commercial and com-muter corridors, we’re creating smoother,safer streets for everyone’s benefit, espe-cially local businesses and the neighbor-hoods they serve.”

“The condition of the street had becomea major quality of life concern for the com-munity. I was happy to work with DOT tomake sure that repairs were completedquickly to restore the street. Drivers alongthis stretch of Roosevelt will now have asmoother, safer ride,” said Van Bramer.

This resurfacing project follows on theheels of a new roadway-repair milestone.Last month, DOT announced it has filledmore than 400,000 potholes since July 1,2010, a record for potholes repaired in asingle fiscal year. In Queens alone, DOTfilled more than 97,300 potholes. With re-gard to resurfacing, this fiscal year, DOTonce again will resurface 1,000 lanes milescitywide. The number of streets in a state ofgood repair has increased over the last fouryears, and the coming year’s paving targetallows DOT to building on the progress ithas made in all five boroughs.

For a snapshot of DOT’s roadway repairand maintenance efforts, visit “The DailyPothole,” a blog that tracks the agency’spothole-filling efforts and more recently,highlights milling and paving projectscitywide. In addition to statistics and mapscharting pothole-filling efforts, the site alsofeatures photos of crews making repairs. Italso allows the public to report potholeseasily. The site can be viewed through DOT’shome page at nyc.gov/dot or atthedailypothole.tumblr.com.

The City uses many resources toidentify potholes, including through311 and the SCOUT (Street Condi-tions Observation Unit) program.Residents are encouraged to call311 to report potholes.

As a pioneer, with little advancepublicity, the cookoff attracted several hundred passerby to enjoy chili provided by Fourof Woodside’s excellent restaurants: La Flor, Cuckoo’s Nest, Woodside Café and CopperKettle.

PRICING

UNDER

PRESSUREDeciding on an asking price

for your home is challengingenough these days, but you needspecific pricing strategies for par-ticular scenarios, especially ifyou’re under pressure to movequickly or your home isn’t sellingafter being on the market for sev-eral months. Here are suggestionsfor both situations.

If you’re facing a deadline dueto job relocation or other reasons,then you need to price competi-tively, even more competitivelythan expected in today’s market.You’ll need to list at significantlyless than your competition. Think15% less. That may seem tough tostomach, but it’s better than con-tinuing your monthly loan pay-ments or the hassle of trying to findtenants to rent your home.

If your home has been listedfor some time, but not generatinginterest, you’ll need to lower yourprice. Of the three elements thatsell a home- price, location, andcondition- price is the one you’llhave the most control over.

If home values have declined inyour neighborhood, the price youoriginally listed at a few monthsago may now be too high and out ofline with comparable listings. Nowwould be the time to have your realestate agent prepare a new Com-parative Market Analysis (CMA)and reevaluate your pricing strat-egy. If you’ve got to sell, and sellnow, price it like you mean it.
