Tonight marks the beginning of Ramadan, and before going any further, I’d like to wish Ramadan Mubarak to all those observing this month of celebration and reflection. April 12th is also known as “Yuri’s Night,” which celebrates Yuri Gagarin’s anniversary of becoming the first human in space; this year is the 60th anniversary.

Anyway, enough rambling, I’ll get right down to what could be considered reminders, requests, and recommendations. 

Don’t forget that we have two CB6 meetings this week. On Wednesday, April 14th, beginning at 6:30 PM, we have our full board meeting with a voting agenda involving landmarks, land use, and a liquor license. The following night, Thursday, April 15th, also starting at 6:30 PM, our Transportation & Public Safety Committee meets to hear from the MTA about plans for an elevator and other ADA improvements at the 7th Avenue F/G station as well as a presentation from DCP on the Zoning For Accessibility text amendment.

If you’re reading this, and you’re over 16 years old, you are eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine which is free, so click here and find an appointment or here if you’re over 75, or can accompany someone who is and find out where to get vaccinated without an appointment. 

In closing, I’d suggest reading on but either way, enjoy the rest of your Monday.
