Dear Neighbor,  

The deadline to register for the NYC Build It Back program has been extended to October 31st.

If your home was damaged during Sandy and you have not yet signed up, please do so as soon as possible. This is a federally-funded program designed to provide assistance for homeowners, landlords and renters who paid out of pocket for repairs when insurance and FEMA checks weren't enough. If you still have unmet needs, please do not wait any longer and  sign up today!

Fix Sandy-Damaged Street Lights 
Nearly a year has passed and dozens of street lights, damaged during Sandy, are still dark. I have called on the Department of Transportation to immediately investigate this troubling situation and conduct a full review of all the street lights to make necessary repairs and replace lighting that was damaged by the storm.
  MTA Plans for Rockaway Beach Rail Line  
Earlier this week, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) released their Twenty-Year Capital Needs Assessment, which included the restoration of the Rockaway Beach Rail Line as part of their plans for the future. The Capital Needs Assessment is a blueprint which details the MTA vision to repair, rebuild and expand the NYC transit infrastructure between 2015 to 2034.

This report is a huge step forward and I will continue to work closely with my colleagues, Governor Cuomo and the MTA until the restoration of the Rockaway Beach Rail Line becomes a reality for our families in Southern Queens and Rockaway.
Safer Streets for School in Ozone Park 
In an effort to create safer roadways near the Elizabeth Blackwell Middle School, MS 210Q, I have reached out to the New York City Department of Transportation requesting an immediate survey and review of the dangerous streetssurrounding the school on 93rd Street, between 101st Avenue and 97th Avenue in Ozone Park.
 
School officials, parents and community leaders have been fighting for safer streets for too long and should not have to wait for a tragic incident to get results. I am urging the Department of Transportation to take every action necessary to keep our children safe as they walk to and from school
