Via Twitter, it's impact on students
A resident of Bayside asks => @BarryGrodenchik @MTA
and 10 others
I am very concerned about the elimination of the current Q76 route. The new proposal adversely impacts students at St. Agnes HS, Holy Cross HS, St. Francis Prep, and the Mary Louis Academy. Further, it adversely impacts many other residents of Eastern Queens.Via twitter getting variety of information regarding the MTA hearings:

How disgusting is this. The mta has a second special closed door session for elected officials with no passengers or advocates invited. Shame on the Mta, Bourough hall and elected officials who actually don’t want to be bothered hearing passengers concerns. Expect protests coming

Basilica della Salute required over a million trunks – Likely an exaggeration. The basilica does rest on thousands of piles, but claims of a million are probably inflated. 5.

These two were in attendance and it was divided up by private interest groups before the 1994 secret meeting.” They’ve been paying off Democrats ever since to keep the scam going and Governor Gavin Newsom is their guy" =================================== I had a girlfriend mention about “smart cities” and I ju...
