Dear Friends,
As the weather is warming up and Spring is in the air, I hope you and your families are doing well.
To mark International Women’s Day on March 8th, I stopped by to salute and thank the over 90 NYPD women officers, sergeants and detectives of the 49th and 45th Precincts for all their dedication and service to our District.
While more vaccines are coming to NYC and more categories are becoming eligible, I hope you are taking the opportunity to take the vaccine. I am proud that my office has helped over 350 constituents during these weeks to get vaccination appointments at Jacobi Hospital, Yankee Stadium, the NYCHA developments and elsewhere. To intensify the vaccine education and awareness, we are glad that in partnership with Jacobi Hospital and Community Board 11 we hosted a Covid-19 Vaccination Informational Session with Dr. Gabriele S. de Vos, Chief, Division of Allergy and Immunology at Jacobi Hospital.
As we have started to hear on the FY22 City Budget, during this week’s NYC Council Cultural Affairs, Libraries and International Relation Committee Budget Hearing, I inquired on the status of the completion of the Westchester Square Library Branch adjacent building construction. I was assured by NYPL President Tony Marx that the building will finish on time to serve the community.
Also during the NYC Council Parks Committee Budget Hearing, I stressed that I will continue to fight to secure the resources (staffing, maintenance equipment and public programs) to make sure that our residents and families are able to enjoy and appreciate our parkland and public shorefronts.
We have been with you throughout this pandemic and will continue to be with you. Please do not hesitate to contact my office with any issues or concerns at 718-931-1721 or email at MGjonaj@council.nyc.gov.
Sincerely,
NYC Councilman Mark Gjonaj
District 13, Bronx
