According to this map, there will be a BRT stop on the west shore of Staten Island called “Teleport.”

I guess the thinking goes that when this BRT actually gets built, many decades from now, Staten Island will finally have a teleport terminal, making the BRT obsolete - because if you can teleport yourself to your destination, why would you ever need a bus?

a not-so-subtle reminder arrived Tuesday in the mailbox of every municipal worker and it came from the mayor’s chief of staff. It read, in part…

Looks good. Could use a wash though

Clearly the developer didn’t know the right people in this case lol

Someone KNOWS how ‘things work’ in this city. Good observation. :wink:

It is the same in many other cities too. This was one of the most beautiful Historic Buildings in Yonkers - the developers had the right ‘connections’ to dodge the landmarking designation. Good story here:

Rangers won the first two games of the series in MSG but proceeded to loose 0-4 in the last 4 games of the Eastern Conference Finals to get eliminated by the Tampa Bay Lightning.

But 2 more home runs for Aaron Judge in a spectacular 6 home run game against the Cubs.
