The morning after a bigot set fire to the pride flag outside Little Prince restaurant in SoHo, we raised a new flag. Our community will not be intimidated.

Hate in SoHo: Last night this person set fire to the pride flag hanging outside Little Prince restaurant, causing the front of the restaurant to go up in flames. Anyone with info on this should call the Crime Stoppers tip line at 800-577-TIPS. At 11AM we will re-hang the flag.

Too many public wastebaskets have gone missing across District 3 and this leads to more litter, illegal dumping, and strain on our sanitation workers. I’ve sent a letter to the Department of Sanitation requesting swift action to replace them & improve the process moving forward.

🌳 Good news for our city’s trees — and our streets! We’re installing extended tree pits across the district that will give trees more room to grow, soak up more stormwater, and help prevent our sewers from being overwhelmed during heavy rain. It’s a win for climate resilience!

From the Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises hearing on the proposed MSMX Plan, which would permit residential uses in parts of Midtown currently limited to commercial and industrial uses. The goal of the plan is to create a more mixed-use district that supports housing & jobs.

From Penn Station to the Empire State Building, 34th Street deserves to be a corridor that works for everyone — riders, pedestrians, and small businesses alike. Let’s get it done! 🚌💨.
