Dear Neighbor, It’s finally Sunday and our Jewish neighbors will begin the celebrate Hanukkah tonight Sunday, December 18. This beautiful celebration commemorates the rededication of the Holy Temple and is celebrated for eight days and nights. To celebrate, my office and several local elected officials have collaborated with Bronx House to host this year’s Menorah Lighting on Monday, December 19 at 4 PM. This event is open to the public and I encourage you all to join us. In addition to celebrating the holiday season, we are celebrating the opportunity to address the transit and employment needs through the recent announcement of the Bronx Metro-North Plan. The two new Metro-North stations in Morris Park and Parkchester/Van Nest will bring added value to our community and catalyze its economic future and quality of life. We also had an exciting week at City Hall, starting with a rally to raise awareness of the near 100 million single-use plastics used nationwide. I later chaired a public hearing with the Committee on Consumer and Worker Protection to hear public testimony from community members, activists, and City agencies. Additional information on this bill can be found below. If you have general questions or inquiries, please call my office at (718) 931-1721 and leave a message or email us at District13@council.nyc.gov. In the meantime, I look forward to seeing you all around the district and hope you have a safe weekend!
