Safe streets advocates renewed their call on Monday for installing a two-way protected bike lane along Brooklyn's Lafayette Avenue following an early morning crash that, police say, left an e-bike rider in critical condition. The group Transportation Alternatives says the intersection of Lafayette and Bedford Avenues in Bedford-Stuyvesant, where a 40-year-old e-bike rider was struck by a 27-year-old driver behind the wheel of an Acura SUV on the morning of Dec. 8, is deadly.

Their burgers are piled high with all the fixings, dripping with sauces, and loaded with flavor.

"BSVAC has answered the call for nearly 40 years-without the security of a permanent home. Our land-conveyance bill will finally change that: with Governor Hochul's signature, BSVAC will own 727 Greene Avenue, unlocking the $6 million in state funding I secured to build a modern health and wellness center. In partnership with Ancient Song Doula Services, we will create a community birthing center, and with Kings Against Violence Initiative, expand trauma-informed violence intervention and youth development. Together, these investments form Bed-Stuy's first holistic public-health hub-faster emergency response, trusted maternal care, workforce training, and healing spaces that strengthen safety, dignity, and community"

"It's devastating," said Yesenia Castillo, the PTA president and mother to a graduating fifth grader.

They were wonderful neighbors and friends to the community, an institution that came and started a business and grew it, and served the community well.

Anthony Smith, an off-duty NYC Department of Sanitation employee, was arrested for multiple alcohol-related driving charges early Wednesday morning in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

This summer marks a beautiful new beginning and we're thrilled to welcome campers to our spacious new home in the heart of Bed-Stuy!
