27Speaks on Aug 10, 2023

In recent weeks, developer Adam Potter announced new plans for a 1.4-acre site he owns in Sag Harbor Village, bounded by Rose and Bridge streets. Saying he had learned from criticisms of earlier proposals, Potter’s somewhat scaled-back plan includes retail space, 39 apartments, some of which would be designated as affordable housing, a community center, a performance venue, classrooms and a small park. This week, the editors and reporter Steve Kotz discuss the details of the new proposal and consider what might happen going forward.

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Mass deportations. It’s become the catchphrase for the terror, cruelty, heartlessness and chaos many associate with the pending Donald Trump redux administration. As Trump’s leading day one promise, it has captured most of the headlines — that is, until a cabinet of clowns began being nominated. The terror comes from the fear that we will get Trump unleashed from the norms and normies that harnessed his first administration — a Donald J. Trump schooled in the federal levers of power and fueled by a hyper-inflated sense of a mandate. The rapidity and rapaciousness with which Trump is acting has bedazzled ... 24 Nov 2024 by Carlos Sandoval

The Pause Is Over

The congestion pricing plan is back — but will the plan stick? Will it actually be reality? The board of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority last week voted 12-1 to approve a $9 toll during peak hours for drivers of cars entering Manhattan below 60th Street, starting January 5. The toll would be about 50 percent higher for drivers without E-ZPass, and higher for trucks. The $9 is down from the $15 that Governor Kathy Hochul initially proposed. Then, in June, just weeks before the first-in-the-nation plan was to take effect, Hochul announced what she termed a “pause.” The impact of ... by Karl Grossman

Hotline Open To Save Cold-Stunned Turtles

The New York State Marine Rescue Center has issued a reminder that cold stun season is approaching and that its 24-hour stranding hotline is open for those who come upon a stunned turtle on the beach. The number to call is 631-369-9829. When water temperatures drop below 55 degrees Fahrenheit, the breathing rate and movements of sea turtles slow, making them unable to swim against currents or dive under the water surface. Due to this, the sea turtles are washed to shore by winds and tides. The New York Marine Rescue Center responds to these sea turtles and rehabilitates them ... by Staff Writer
