Call 311 to report PARKS problems

by Mike Taylor 4-20-09

Dear Members, GB Cares needs your help with reporting problems and requests to the NYC Parks Department. Unfortunately, GerritsenBeach.net (Website) operated by Daniel Cavangh III decided to contact and questions the NYC Parks Department about projects he was aware were GB Cares projects. In the past he was given information about the projects and asked not to cover them on his website/blog. His inquires in conjunction with a new Park Manager and the limited memory and ungratefulness of some in the Parks Department has put GBC is a difficult position. We were told that we need to stop work on some projects, (They still allow us to pick up garbage) and GB Cares must resubmit a request to Parks Department for all projects/work for approval. Please help us report all the problems you notice on the Parkland. You can call in many different complaints/Problems/Requests during the same phone call. We hope this will help NYC Parks identify the problems and then make the arrangements to fix the problem. This is very important and please encourage your friends and family to call in the problems they notice on the Parkland. It may be broken fencing, litter, overflowing garbage cans, broken sidewalks, uncut grass, weeds gowning by the bus stops or guardrail or Dog Crap near children's play areas, Tree branches on the grass, graffiti on the guardrails, dumped Cars on the shoreline, un level areas or holes in the ground (Tripping Hazard), glass on the beach or in a play area. or You may want to request proper Parking for the sport fields or fixing the skate park, additional children's equipment, etc. Please make sure you report real problems and the proper locations. You can make one call to 311 to report many different problems and locations using your name or anonymously. It is easy and needs to be done A.S.A.P. Please find the time, (everyday if possible) to help us make sure Parks know all the problems, complaints, requests on the Parkland. Do Not Delay, Call Today!! Please call 311 for all Parkland (Marine Park & Gerritsen Avenue) requests or problems you notice. It is important for them to know and hopefully they will fix the problems or complete the request. GBC Board would like to thank you in advance for the help with reporting the Parks problems!!! Sincerely, The GB Cares Board
