New York Shitty Videos du Jour: Live From the Memorial Walk & Ride On McGuinness
Some of you are undoubtedly aware yours truly has been feeling under the weather of late. For this reason I have been scaling back my activities so as to get some much-needed rest. Nonetheless, there was no way I was going to miss the commencement of today’s Memorial Walk & Ride on our very own Boulevard of Death: McGuinness Boulevard (which, ironically enough, was the site of yet another motorist accident a few hours prior in front of a local watering hole called “The Pit Stop”). Let’s just say this issue hits close to home.
Not only was the turn-out by my fellow citizens and our public officials (not only did Ryan Kounen, the Environmental Chair of our Community Board co-host this walk, but Public Safety Chair (and arguably the most photogenic member of Community Board 1) Tom Burrows, City Councilman Steve Levin and 50th District Democratic Leader, Lincoln Restler, were all one hand) fantastic, but Emily Gallagher gave a very compelling introduction which I took the liberty of filming:
The first pedestrian fatality to be memorialized came to pass at Green Street and McGuinness Boulevard in 2002. Here an unidentified man crossing against the signal was struck and killed. As you will see the traffic in the background is more than a little daunting.

From The New York Shitty Inbox: Nassau Avenue Reconstruction, Revised Once More
For a project which has not even commenced yet I have to say the Nassau Avenue Construction project has necessitated a great deal of correspondence. The above-depicted material (which was brought to my attention by our Community Board’s Transportation Chair), dates from March 16th and appears to be the most current. NOTE/CAVEAT: the word on the street (READ: the rather large sign stationed at Nassau Avenue and Monitor Street) is work will begin March 20th. Well, they did say “on or about” March 19th…
