Dear Friends,
I hope you and your families are doing well and taking care of yourselves as the summer temperatures are rising and the Delta variant is continuing to spread. Please note that It is imperative that we encourage our family and friends to get vaccinated. Please find a vaccination site near you at https://vaccinefinder.nyc.
Illegal and reckless dirt bike use on our streets and parks continue to present more than just a disruption to quality-of-life; they are a dangerous public safety issue. I am proud to push for legislation to increase maximum fines and revised NYPD enforcement strategies, as we thank the NYPD 49th and 45th in our district for all their efforts continuing to enforce the laws on ATVs and illegal dirt bikes.
As Chair of NYC Small Business Committee, I am proud to have led the way for NYC Council to pass a law banning a system that erroneously charged restaurants for orders that never happened. After the latest Grubhub announcement in doing away with the controversial phone ordering system, we are looking forward to hear on the new system and the impact it will have on local restaurants.
Our Summer Concerts are back and we hope you can join us on Friday, August 13th at 7PM at the Veteran’s Memorial Park with the music of FDR Drive.
We are proud to have kickstarted the District 13 Bookbag Giveaway series in our district office and we are continuing with many more around our neighborhoods. Please follow us on our social media, check the Week in Review or call our office for locations and times.
Team Gjonaj is glad to be able to update and help you in person at our Mobile District Office Hours at the local libraries. This week we were at the Pelham Bay Library and we look forward to visit with constituents at other locations .
We hope you can join us this Saturday, August 14th at Pelham Bay Park from 11am-2:30pm as we bring a Free Fitting and Distribution Helmet event.
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
