Van Bramer Takes on MTA Over Bus Service

Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer has written a letter to the New York City Transit department complaining about the proposed cuts to the B24 bus service.

In January, the MTA announced that the B24, which runs through Sunnyside, Greenpoint and Williamsburg is likely to be cut on weekends and less service would be provided during the work week.

The bus route runs along Greenpoint, Meeker and Metropolitan avenues.

In a letter to Thomas Prendergast, the president of the New York City Transit, Van Bramer said “the proposed B24 reduction in conjunction with reduced services on the No. 7 Train and G train will make travel between Queens and Brooklyn even more difficult for my constituents who rely on the B24 to go between Boroughs.”

“This service cut will severely harm small businesses on Greenpoint Avenue as well as reduce an important service for Sunnyside’s elderly and disabled residents.”

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The defendants are charged in nine separate indictments for a total of 373 counts, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Thursday.
