Mayor announces rapid expansion of life-saving speed camera program as stronger law takes effect July 11

Before departing on a presidential campaign swing through Nevada, Mayor #BillDeBlasio took care of some city business Friday, announcing plans for the rapid expansion of the school zone speed camera program which Gov. #AndrewCuomo signed into law earlier this month.

The #NYCDoT will begin installing new cameras citywide at a rate of 40 per month through 2019, 60 per month in 2020, expecting to reach the law’s maximum 750 school zones by June 2020.

“Our streets are about to get a lot safer for our children,” de Blasio said. “We fought to expand our speed camera program and we won in #Albany. Now it’s time to rapidly scale up our program to save lives and keep our kids safe.”
#Weather: Relatively calm during the day today, but tonight could see a repeat of last night, with thunderstorms bringing heavy rain, damaging wind, possible large hail and, yes, maybe even tornado activity.
Sir, that's a mighty nice hutch you've lugged on the #NYC #MTA subway

DOT unveils plan to redesign dangerous Gravesend roadway

#NYC transportation gurus officially unveiled plans to redesign a dangerous roadway in #Gravesend at a May 22 #CB13 meeting. The city #NYCDoT presented the proposal to overhaul a half-mile stretch of Cropsey Avenue, between 26th Avenue and Bay 50th Street, where 114 people have been injured over a five-year period from 2013 to 2017, according to department statistics.

The project would shorten pedestrian crosswalks, formalize traffic lanes, and redesign turning infrastructure throughout the eight-block stretch in an effort to promote better traffic flow and increase safety, according to the department.

Screw loose: Man attacks teens with screwdriver in Williamsburg, cops

Police are looking for the reprobate who stabbed three teens with a screwdriver on Flushing Avenue on May 25.

The tool-wielding wacko was having an argument with two 16-year-olds — a boy and a girl — and a 17-year-old girl, near Broadway at 2 a.m., when he pulled out the screwdriver and stabbed the boy in the back of his head, before jabbing him in the torso, according to police.

The maniac then drove the tool into the younger girl’s arm, before stabbing the older teen in the chest, cops said.

Anti-Semitic message found at Jewish museum in Brooklyn

#NYC police are investigating an #AntiSemitic message found at the Jewish Children's Museum in #Brooklyn on Thursday.

"Hitler is Coming" was written on a Post-it note and placed on a billboard display in front of the museum, said #NYPD spokesperson Sophia Mason.

The message is the latest incident in #NY, which has seen a 67% increase in hate crimes from April 2018 to April 2019, according to New York City Police Department.

The NYPD is looking into whether the note constitutes a hate crime. Police said they do not have a suspect.
New York Gov. #AndrewCuomo said Thursday that he had directed the State Police Hate Crimes Task Force to assist the NYPD's investigation.

Senate Passes Verrazzano Toll Discount for Brooklynites

The #NYSenate has passed a bill to give Brooklynites a break on the steep toll for the #VerrazanoBridge.

The bill, which passed the Senate 55-3 on Thursday, gives #Brooklyn residents making at least 10 trips in a month across the Verrazzano with an E-Z Pass account the same discounted price that #StatenIsland residents currently have – $5.50 (though that discount for Staten Islanders kicks in when they make just three trips a month with E-ZPass).

The discount would only apply to non-commercial vehicles.

The current toll for non-Staten Islanders is $12.24 with E-ZPass and $19 without.
#Weather: A chance of early showers, then clouds giving way to sun. Highs in the low 80s.
