Brooklyn: Parking A Major Concern For Drivers.

Brooklyn: Parking A Major Concern For Drivers Borough Wide and Brooklyn residents want it addressed this election.

U/D: From A Eyewitnesses That Told The Story Of The Fatal Crash Last Week Friday On Route 17

BLOOMING GROVE—Eric Serviss was driving through Blooming Grove on Route 17 with his partner, John Grimaldi, on Friday, on their way to see a client in New York.

"We were talking when a kind of explosion of dirt happened in front of us," said Grimaldi, a partner with Serviss in the 8 Hats High Animation and Production company in Middletown. A van had inexplicably crossed the median, colliding with a tractor-trailer two or three cars ahead of them.

All of a sudden, Serviss said, the tractor-trailer cut a hard left, probably to avoid hitting the oncoming van. The truck appeared to be "grinding the guardrail" on the westbound side of the highway, Grimaldi said.

Just as the westbound van had ended up in the eastbound lanes, the eastbound tractor-trailer had crossed into the westbound lanes.

Grimaldi called 911 while Serviss approached the van. Serviss was stunned by what he saw.

"I knew that the position of his body definitely was not right for a living, breathing human being," he said.


The driver's side door was gone. He didn't see the two passengers.

The driver of the van was 34-year-old Abraham Weisz of Brooklyn. His passengers were a young married couple, Zev and Faigy Tietielbaum, ages 23 and 20.

Grimaldi remembers the driver of the tractor-trailer, which was hauling junked cars.

"He came out of the truck pretty fast and then sat at the side of the road," he said. "He looked in shock."

Weisz and the Tietielbaums were Hasidic Jews, members of the Orthodox Satmar community in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn.

"People were getting ready to help," Serviss said. "I saw a couple of Orthodox guys and a couple of other young guys out on the road. I remember thinking since I had a red shirt on, I should direct traffic."

But then they heard sirens and knew help was on the way. They realized there wasn't anything they could do. Serviss said he wanted to leave.

"We couldn't stay there with this corpse in front of us," he said.

First responders on the scene were struck by the presence of baby materials — diapers, pacifiers, and toys — in the van, said Rich Lenahan, captain of Monroe Volunteer Ambulance. They thought a baby may have been in there, so they began to search for one, and dropped ropes over the embankments. But no baby was found.

"There is a void in the community with search and rescue, so we got qualified by the Department of Environmental Conservation victim wilderness search and rescue," Lenahan said. "In this part of the county, we were the only ones."

That each vehicle ended up on the opposite side of the highway caused an extraordinary delay in clearing the accident. Route 17 was closed in both directions for nearly five hours, backing up traffic not only on the highway itself but on all connecting local roads, reaching far into Monroe, Chester and beyond.

The tie-up spilled over to 17M, where cars moved at a stuttering crawl. Back roads, such as Mine and Reynolds in Monroe, were moving - albeit bumper to bumper - as locals tried to avoid the traffic. The oppressive humid heat wasn't doing anything to improve the moods of motorists, which appeared to range from depressing resignation to frustrated rage.

"It was a very unique accident," said Captain Steve Nevins of State Police Troop F. "It was absolutely one of the worst bad scenarios, except it wasn't snowing."

Police and other emergency personnel had to do a time-consuming reconstruction of the scene. This process requires responders to get to the site from as many as four to five locations throughout the county, then re-positioning the vehicles and analyzing what happened. Some of the analysis is done with a laser measuring device to pinpoint the positions of the vehicles, landmarks, and skid marks.

State Troop F Senior Investigator John Van Der Molen said they've come to "no conclusions" yet about what caused the accident.

Responders also needed to attend to the potential danger of hazardous material spilling onto the road. Both sides of the highway needed to be cleaned up, along with the tractor-trailer lodged in the trees on the westbound side.

Nevins said the tow operators, from Loyal Towing in Harriman, "did a tremendous job, just a terrific job."

Also on the scene were members of the Hasidic community, who needed to perform certain religious rituals on the scene. This had nothing to do with the delay, according to the state police.

"There are some things they needed to do with rituals," Nevins said. "They actually finished with their ritual or ceremonial work before our own work was done. They were clearly done before our work."

Van Der Molen said the accident is still under investigation. It can take a week or more to get results.

"To be honest with you, I don't think we will ever know," Nevins said. "It could be any of a hundred reasons. We don't get to interview the operator."

The driver of the tractor-trailer, Eric Delgado, 41, was treated and released for minor injuries at Orange Regional Medical Center's Arden Hill hospital.

"My heart goes out to the family," Monroe Town Supervisor Sandy Leonard said Tuesday. "I hope the investigation will show the cause of the accident.

"I think it became crystal clear on Friday that it is not just Monroe traffic that is overburdening our town roads," she added. The Friday traffic snarl "highlights it's a regional problem that needs a regional solution and we have been working on that."

Nevins said he would tell motorists angry about the delay: "Be grateful you were not on the scene; you got home safe that night."

Williamsburg Brooklyn, Power plant - or public park?

TransGas Energy wants to build a 1,100 megawatt power plant on the same Williamsburg site where the city has already mapped out a park as part of the area's sweeping waterfront development plan.
TransGas wants to condemn lots at North 12th and Kent Ave. before the city can get the land for its park.
"A power plant is a higher public use than a public park," TransGas President said. But the $2 billion dream project is opposed by the Bloomberg administration, elected officials and Brooklyn activists.
TransGas created a transportation corporation as a legal entity to help it seize the land because under city rules, that's the kind of business that can condemn property.
"We are going to be transporting electricity and steam," TransGas said.
Councilman David Yassky (D-Brooklyn Heights) called the TransGas bid "preposterous" and unlikely to succeed. "If they walk into court and say, 'We're taking this property, which the city intends to condemn for a park,' I can't imagine a judge going along with that," Yassky said. said.

Shabbas Scooter ?

Bridgeport Township-based Amigo Mobility International Inc. has devised a scooter that will give Orthodox Jews, forbidden by faith from turning on electrical devices on the Sabbas, wheels on the holy day.

The "Shabbas" scooter is specially designed to keep users from switching circuits on or off. Instead, the Amigo powers up and starts moving on its own when put into Sabbath mode.

Officials estimate a market of about 800,000 Orthodox Jews in the United States and Israel.

Here's how the Shabbas Amigo operates: By switching the scooter into Sabbath mode, the user activates a timer that automatically sets the chair in motion.
The user may put the chair in reverse by flipping another switch, which again triggers a timing mechanism and changes the scooter's direction. In each case, the timer takes about 20 seconds to engage.

Consistent with Jewish law, the scooter uses no headlight on the holy day. Designers plan to create an LED headlight that would provide light and yet satisfy the requirement.


The scooters, which took about a year to develop, cost about $3,500 apiece. A traditional Amigo would cost about $1,100 less.

Monticello, Kaufman Bungalow Colony Sewer Line Is Causing A Stink

Monticello – Kaufman Summer Bungalow Colony is in deep sewage with the Town of Thompson for building a towering sewer line on stilts. The Colony erected a sewer pipe that runs three-tenths of a mile along Benmosche Road near the Monticello Raceway and in some places it rises to 12 feet above the road and can be seen from Route 17.

The Town Board yesterday ordered the colony to tear it down by noon Friday and threatened to take the colony's $10,000 security deposit if the work isn't completed.
Two weeks ago, the board agreed to let the colony install a temporary line into a pump station, which is outside the village line but pumps the sewage toward the village's treatment plant.
The town officials expected the pipe would be run along the ground in the woods away from the road. Instead, the colony built a gravity-fed line supported by two-by-fours planted in mounds of dirt. It was hooked into the pump station Friday and some sewage was running through the pipe yesterday.
"I realize it doesn't look that great," the colony's attorney, said. "It is there in anticipation that there will be a permanent line installed."
The colony also has had other code violations and the line needs to come down, said town officials.

Upper Saddle River Raises Water Worries Against Yeshiva Plans In Airmont, N.Y.

Airmont, N.Y. - Congregation Mischknois Lavier Yakov Inc. plans to build an educational facility (yeshiva) on 19 acres off Hillside Avenue in Airmont. The plans include a dormitory for 170 unmarried students and 10 separate triplex homes for 30 married students. The homes measure 11,000 square feet each.

But Residents from Upper Saddle River monitoring plans to construct the yeshiva for up to 200 rabbinical students in neighboring Airmont, N.Y., say their concerns have mounted over the project's impact on the region's water supply.
"This is a residential area and to change it is a big impact on all of us," said an Upper Saddle River resident upset over the size of the project, "the sewer and water infrastructure in the area cannot support the project."

Residents say overuse of the aquifer, inadequate sewage facilities and traffic concerns will bring them to the Holiday Inn on Executive Boulevard in Suffern, N.Y., on July 26 for a special meeting of the Airmont Planning Board.

Borough Park, In Desperate Need Of Additional Housing

Borough Park, Hundreds of families in this and in other crowded Jewish Brooklyn neighborhoods six or seven children is the norm, and therefore there's a desperate need for housing.

Community activist Isaac Abraham says the issue should have been addressed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg a long time ago.

“It's getting to be four years later, [and] is there a single affordable unit under his clock? No, not yet,” says Abraham.

Borough Park's population grew more than 15 percent from 1990 to 2000, while there was a less than five percent increase in housing stock.
“Housing has been on the table for a very, very long time, but some zoning changes needed to be made in order for this to move ahead,” says Hikind. “And swoop, it's just great to have election years.”

MonDroe To Vote On Plan To Cover Kiryas Yoel's Fires.

      MonDroe – A long-awaited proposal altering how and when MonDroe firefighters answer emergency calls in neighboring Kiryas Yoel is expected to come before the Village Board tonight.    Under the proposed contract, MonDroe's Mombasha Fire Company, would now respond only when asked to by one of Kiryas Yoel's fire officers or emergency dispatchers.    The new arrangement would effectively give Kiryas Yoel's fire department primary responsibility for fires and other emergencies.    Mombasha would, in effect, become a secondary service, on call to take command of emergencies that Kiryas Yoel's volunteers cannot handle themselves.    Mombasha would have control of the fire scene any time it's called to Kiryas Yoel. That stipulation was made to ease concerns about MonDroe firefighters being directed by less-experienced Kiryas Yoel commanders.    Whatever happens with tonight's vote, the new contract cannot take effect without the approval of MonDroe firefighters.    Kiryas Joel would pay MonDroe $54,800 a year for 50 fire calls, plus $1,096 for each additional response.    Kiryas Yoel Mayor has already signed the contract on behalf of his board.

NYS: New Law Cracks Down On Work Zone Speeders.

Construction Law NYS 071705 Motorists who ignore work zone speed limits should take heed now that New York state has a new law that cracks down on speeding and other traffic infractions committed in construction zones.
Governor Pataki signed the Work Zone Safety Act into law. After three construction workers were killed in May during a chain-reaction crash at a work site on Interstate 81.
Under the new law, anyone convicted of two or more speeding violations in a work zone would face a 60-day license suspension. The bill also requires a police presence in major work zones. It's not the first time state police will be on the lookout for motorists who are speeding through work zones.
Last year troopers used radar to record speeds in construction areas. That resulted in more than 16-hundred tickets being issued.
