Dear Neighbor,
Summer is quickly approaching and there are many activities for families across the district to take advantage of. This month, District 13 will host two concerts in honor of NY Music Month, including a children’s music in Morris Park and a concert featuring Brenda K. Starr, in Ferry Point Park. This is a wonderful opportunity to spend time with family and enjoy the summer weather. For more information, please scroll to ‘What’s Happening in District 13.’
In this week’s email, you will find information about the NYC Department of Transportation’s upcoming workshops for “Reimagining the Cross Bronx,” the MTA Mobile Sales Van, and more.

Wishing you all a safe and joyous weekend.
Sincerely,
Council Member Marjorie Velázquez.
