As discussed on MARINEPARKER last week, the recent rise in crime has had many local citizens alarmed, and rightfully so. However, these crimes are not just central to Marine Park, as Mill Basin has been targeted as well. Last month, MPCA President Greg Barruso told the 63rd Precinct:
There was an armed robbery on Avenue S and East 37th Street last week where three 17-year-old kids were held up and they took their money and jewelry,” he said. “I’m not happy that there’s been nine robberies since November. I want to know, what are you doing about it? You have no arrests, you have no descriptions.
At last week’s Mill Basin Civic Association, Lieutenant Robert Haley had very similar concerns. With both local neighborhoods now being seen as easy targets, its important for neighbors to be vigilant and if something appears to be suspicious, call it in to the 63rd Precinct.
In addition, the next MARINE PARK CIVIC ASSOCIATION meeting will be held on Tuesday February 23rd at 8:00 PM in the P.S.222 Auditorium – these issues NEED to be addressed.

I braved today’s weather to go around the neighborhood and take some “snow pictures.” Snow can definitely be a nuisance at times, but it sure is pretty!

Clearly taken in much better weather, these pictures confirm that the “second story question” for 3512 Quentin Road has been answered – apparently it is allowed. All violations for this site has been resolved and building is going forth as planned. According to Department of Finance data, this one-story building is already at its maximum allowable floor area – so how an extra story of 5,700 square feet can be permitted is beyond me. Money talks, I guess.
If you think the current traffic and congestion on Quentin Road is bad, take a walk/drive there now to see all the construction/cement trucks blocking the avenue.

This morning Mayor Bloomberg announced that all New York City public schools will be CLOSED on Wednesday, February 10th due to the expected snowstorm. A press conference will be held today at 1 PM. The status of schools for Thursday is not known at this time.

Essentially the entire northern side of Avenue U between Hendrickson Street and Flatbush Avenue is for sale/for rent (with the exception of the the Verizon dealer). Is this a prime opportunity for useful stores/shops to come to the neighborhood or just more of the same type of useless stores that grace most of Flatbush Avenue?
Mom and Pop Free WI-FI cafe/bakery, anyone?

Thank you to Alexandra for e-mailing MarineParker concerning this morning’s shooting as well as some other occurrences in our neighborhood:
I was just reading 1010wins.com and found this article quite alarming:
http://www.1010wins.com/Cops–Brooklyn-Woman-Shot-Outside-Marine-Park-Home/6287525
I thought you guys may want to research the situation and post it on your site(s).
Also, the Kings Courier reported several burglaries in last week’s police blotter, one of which near PS 222 around 10/11 pm. Supposedly a man was held at gun point.
As an avid reader of both GerritsenBeach.net and MarineParker.net, I suggest that you please encourage your readers/viewers to remain alert and vigilant while walking around our neighborhoods.
Great advice! If anyone has other tips or concerns, please let us know!
