Sept. 7, 2010 Staff Report

Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer is not only trying to clean up the neighborhood’s graffiti problem– but he’s also moving to wipe Sunnyside clean of pigeon feces.

In an earlier story that ran on this news site, it included a picture of the 46th Street subway with pigeon feces splattered all over the newspaper boxes.

Last weekend, Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer’s office reached out and said that the mess had been cleaned up.

it didnt take long for the boxes to once again become covered in bird crap… like Jose said, the solution isn’t to clean them once a year… that whole area by the subway entrance is nasty.

Stop the misguided senior citizens who throw large piles of bread crumbs on the street to feed these winged rats.

Either they never have newspapers in them or the newspapers are gone really fast. But if the boxes are removed then the feces will land on the floor. Either way, it is unsightly. Why not put those anti-pigeon spikes wherever it is that the birds are congregating.

A Brooklyn man was indicted by a Queens grand jury on charges of manslaughter, drunk driving and other crimes for a fatal collision in Astoria that killed his long-time girlfriend and mother of their young child in February.

Ray Perez, 27, of Caton Avenue in Flatbush, was arraigned Thursday in Queens Supreme Court on a 13-count indictment charging him with vehicular manslaughter for allegedly speeding through a stop sign in Astoria, colliding with another vehicle and slamming into two parked cars, and then driving nearly four miles away to a street in Maspeth before seeking help for his 29-year-old girlfriend Bridget Enriquez, who later succumbed to her injuries.
