City Council Passes “Home Rule Message” on Residential Parking Permits
The City Council today passed a “home rule message” asking the State Legislature to pass enabling legislation allowing the City to issue residential parking permits. In an earlier post, which has now been corrected, I had incorrectly reported that it passed the Council yesterday; it had just passed the Committee on State and Federal Legislation. Now that it has passed the full Council, it will go to Albany, which, if Senator Marty Golden has his way (see post linked immediately above), will live up to its name as “the place where good ideas go to die.”
Squadron’s Community Meeting Hits Hot Button Issues
Last evening’s Community Meeting got off to an interesting start when Brooklyn Heights resident and long time Brooklyn Bridge Park advocate Tony Manheim asked State Senator Daniel Squadron if, now that in a deal brokered in part by Squadron and Assemblywoman Joan Millman, the State has given control of the Park to the City, he and Millman would consider yielding their nominees’ position on the Park’s board to representatives appointed by the Mayor. He also asked if Squadron thought it now appropriate to have the Park’s management “collapsed into” the City’s Parks and Recreation Department. Squadron said he was “not excited” about giving up his slot on the board, but that Manheim’s ideas were “conceptually interesting.” Another person suggested that, instead of mayoral nominees, the board slots go to community representatives.

Squadron, Millman Push Residential Parking Permits
Our local elected state representatives, State Senator Daniel Squadron and Assemblywoman Joan Millman, are supporting legislation that would enable the issuance of parking permits to residents of various neighborhoods throughout the City, including Brooklyn Heights. In each of these localities, eighty per cent of parking spaces would be reserved for local residents. There will be a hearing on the proposal hosted by the City Council tomorrow starting at 10:30 a.m. at 250 Broadway, just across Broadway from City Hall. Continue Reading →
BHA Wants You for Transportation Committee
The Brooklyn Heights Association is reconstituting its Transportation Committee, and inviting interested BHA members to join. The Transportation Committee is a forum for addressing specific transportation issues important to BHA members, such as biking, truck traffic, pedestrian safety and police enforcement. A large, unified voice on these and similar matters can effect changes. The Committee is meeting this Thursday, November 3, at 7:00 p.m., at St. Francis College, First Floor Board Room, 180 Remsen Street (between Clinton and Court). If you are a BHA member and would like to attend, or if you wish more information, please e-mail Patrick Killackey of the BHA: pkillackey.community@yahoo.com
If you are not a BHA member but wish to join, you may do so here. Continue Reading →
“Boardwalk Empire” Returns to Borough Hall
Don’t be surprised if you see a scene similar to this picture tomorrow. The HBO series “Boardwalk Empire” will be filming in Borough Hall from early morning on. The hit show is no stranger to the area, having shot scenes at the former Gage & Tollner restaurant, as well as in the rotunda of Borough Hall, which is featured prominently in the first season’s finale. The new season premieres on September 25th. Your intrepid correspondent is among the snappily dressed faces in the crowd (who says the entertainment industry doesn’t provide jobs for locals?) and understands the action will take place in the magnificent ceremonial courtroom. About 100 extras will be seen heading between the set and the holding area reserved in Sts. Constantine and Helen Cathedral on Schermerhorn Street. No word on whether Brooklynite (and vocal supporter of Engine 205) Steve Buscemi, who stars as Nucky Thompson, will be there.
UPDATE below the break…

Alternate Side Parking Suspended Wednesday and Thursday
Parking meters and other regulations will be in effect. It’s for Shavu’ot.
Alternate Side Parking Resumes Monday
According to Notify NYC, the City DOT and DOS have announced that alternate side parking rules will be back in effect starting Monday, “to facilitate street cleaning and snow clearing operations.” Funny, that was the reason given for having suspended them. But, everything has its time, as a song from 1965 reminds us (video after the jump). Continue Reading →

The latest forecast is for snow early tomorrow, but temperatures rising to the high thirties in the afternoon. Sleet, and a high in the upper thirties, are expected Wednesday. It looks like a recipe for a slushy mess.
