Long Island City, NY: Tunnel Boring Machine Breakthrough
Thursday, January 5th, 2012“Ghost Bikes” – In A Brooklyn Minute (Week 85) [HD]
Friday, December 30th, 2011Uploaded by GNYBerlin on Youtube
Ghost Bikes can be found all over Brooklyn, New York City and most of the world. They are memorials to bicyclists who have been killed on the street.
A bike painted white is locked to a permanent fixture at the nearest location to the actual crash – oftentimes there is a plague with the cyclist’s name. It is a somber reminder of that individual person who died and a call to make our streets safer for everyone.

“Brooklyn Bridge Ride” – In A Brooklyn Minute
Tuesday, December 27th, 2011On Monday late afternoon I rode my bike across the Brooklyn Bridge and filmed it with a GoPro for you.
The result is nothing like I expected. So I let frustrations and happy accidents fall where they may and bring you a ride that almost looks like an “impressionist painting stop-animation” of biking across the Brooklyn Bridge.

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011Uploaded by InvestNewHampshire on Youtube
Building America’s Future of New Hampshire (BAF-NH), a statewide and bipartisan coalition dedicated to smart infrastructure investment and reform, today announced a television ad to run for three weeks on local network and cable.
“This is a substantial television ad buy intended to educate New Hampshire policymakers and voters on the need for smart infrastructure investment and reform,” said State Senate President Peter Bragdon (R-11), co-chair of BAF-NH. “According to an annual TRIP report, our state’s rural roads rank ninth-worst and deficient rural bridges rank 11th-worst in the nation. The shoddy condition of New Hampshire’s roads and bridges needlessly puts our neighbors in harm’s way, hurts our businesses, makes us less competitive and costs the state jobs. We support a long-term plan, reforms and increased accountability through audits, performance measures and bans on earmarks. Unless we make significant changes in our course and direction, our infrastructure will continue to deteriorate and a real opportunity to restore New Hampshire’s economy will be lost.”

Monday, December 12th, 2011On March 22, 2001, after 53 years of operation, the Fresh Kills Landfill received its final load of garbage. Staten Islanders had been fighting for decades to close the landfill, and with the help of former Governor George Pataki, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Borough President Guy Molinari, and former Congresswoman Susan Molinari, we were finally successful.
Now, Fresh Kills is being transformed into our City’s most glorious park. It will feature both active and passive recreational areas.
