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.

Our office brought together @ConEdison, @thehort and local groups—and secured City Council funding—to turn that eyesore into something beautiful. Now, 5 potted trees add life & shade to the block. Huge thanks to everyone who helped green this corner of Chelsea! 💚

Seventh Avenue just got greener! 🌳. The Con Edison substation between 18th and 19th is vital infrastructure—but let’s be honest, it’s been an eyesore for years. Since it sits over the 1 Train, in-ground trees aren’t possible. Still, we weren’t going to let that stop us. 🌱

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.
