Like, a proper North Shore branch and rail connection to Brooklyn would do a lot. Proposed map drawn by me at 4AM with next to no context for where anything is, it doesn’t have to follow this exactly. Original map on the left.

Speed bumps

10 Upvotes

Anyone notice a dramatic increase in speed bumps on the island recently? I came across a raised crosswalk, which I have never seen before. Guess we’re all going to be riding each other at 15mph while we go over 3 speed bumps on one block.

First time seeing this vehicle... Is it a cop or not?

Their branding is concerning, using police emergency lights and a modified police badge decal. Are they volunteer police or something? Seems awfully alot of liberties to give a neighborhood watch compared to the red berets I keep hearing about. Is it legal with "emergency" written on it and red and blue lights? I just learned about jewish volunteer ambulances but I've never heard of those either until today and this doesn't look like an ambulance.

Crazy people on this island. Can’t imagine why someone would take the time out of their finite existence to be so heinous.

Missing Cat - Arden Heights

Posting this for a friend comment or DM. They are really worried.

This is Cooper, he's a street cat that's been coming around for ten years. He's a large orange tabby with green eyes and one tooth. He's friendly but cautious, but sometimes he'll go up to new people. He hangs around IBSEN AVENUE near Woehrle Ave.

Anyone know a good traffic lawyer in SI

0 Upvotes

I got 4 tickets in 1 day by a NYS Trooper worth 12 points. Im trying to reschedule on the DMV but wont let me. This is my first reschedule. Should I get a lawyer or should I just drag it out past the 18 month?

PS Tickets were for not signaling, illegal lane change and tailgating.

Build team for house addition

5 Upvotes

I did a search on the topic here and saw a few generic suggestions. I’d love to hear from someone who, fairly recently, completed a house addition and who their build team was. We have a 1000 sq foot ranch on an unfinished basement with crawl space (1949s build, needs electrical upgrade) and looking to either bump out or add a level. (Should rather add a level to preserve yard space) we are in the very early planning stages and need a walk/through consultation with a build team.

Found a Siamese cat in West Brighton

Someone’s indoor cat is outdoors on in West Brighton. The cat is incredibly nervous and I haven’t been able to get near it. They’re wearing a collar and seem like someone’s very nervous pet.

seeking personal trainer for elderly woman

8 Upvotes

Hello! I’m looking for a personal trainer that works out of Staten Island.

The client suffers from arthritis but has made a lot of progress with physical therapy and senior fitness classes. The main goal is weight loss, so she is seeking a trainer with experience in weight reduction whilst avoiding high impact activities.

The client has a membership at YMCA but is amenable to other locations on the island.

Please message me with recommendations or post IG/website links! Thank you very much.

Kids on ebikes/ Richmond Ave

44 Upvotes

Hate to make a Neighbors style rant post, but is there nothing being done with these kids? They're weaving in and out of traffic, running lights, brake checking, and they're doing it at night with no lights/ reflectors. Are cops just waiting for one of them to get blasted?
