Most results from Tuesday's election are still being determined as the record-setting number of people that voted by mail together with the Board of Elections being understaffed and underfunded combined with standard levels of incompetence means we won't have official results until next week. However, Congresswoman Nydia Velasquez has already been declared the winner in her race, and we are fortunate to have her representing many CB6 communities on Capitol Hill.

I have 2 more items, after which I'd recommend scrolling past my email signature to check out other notices.

First, NYC beaches will open on July 1st

Secondly, yesterday's announcement that starting next week Alternate Side Parking was shifting to once a week , as do all things parking related, received a lot of responses and questions. The general theme of the questions was, 'does this mean only one side of my block gets cleaned?" The answer is "no."  This change only matters for streets where there are multiple ASP days per side. For example, if one side of your block has street sweeping on Monday and the other side has it on Thursday, Cars on the Monday side move on Monday, cars on the Thursday side move on Thursday. So if you move from side to side, you must move on both days. That is the extended version of saying your block will see no change .

Keep reading to be fully informed and, either way, safely enjoy the rest of your Thursday.
