Dear Friends,
I hope you and your families are doing well as we are finally enjoying a different summer than last year. With a sense of freedom, we still have to be cautious and encourage all those around us to get vaccinated, as 48% of the Bronxites are still not vaccinated.
Illegal Dirt Biking and Auto Drag Racing have become a public safety crises in NYC streets, I was proud to announce legislation this week to dramatically increase fines and penalties on individuals that illegally and recklessly operate dirt bikes and off-road vehicles on roadways. The bill would increase current fines by 50% and would give NYPD the additional tools needed to help control the problem.
Our Mobile District Office Hours at the local libraries are the perfect opportunity to connect with constituents and address their issues. This week Team Gjonaj was at the Westchester Square Library and we are looking forward to to visit with constituents at the Morris Park Library this upcoming week.
We are glad to continue our weekly partnership with Wildcats to bring much of the needed cleanups and graffiti removals in the District from East Tremont to Lydig Avenue.
Team Gjonaj’s weekly Senior Center check ins and visits have been successful as we are visiting and hearing from seniors and also giving out oximeters, hand sanitizer and masks.
Our Pet Food Giveaway events in partnership with ACC have been great as we have given away loads of pet food and met with many constituents and their furry friends on Allerton Avenue, Morris Park and Holland Avenue.
Please remember we are here for you, contact my office with issues or concerns at 718-931-1721 or email at MGjonaj@council.nyc.gov.
Sincerely,
NYC Councilman Mark Gjonaj
District 13, Bronx
