Like Fulop, he'll say "Development" & brag about the massive density increase he's pushing 190x, but the words "transit improvement" will never cross his lips...

Brian has been very helpful to the Bayside Park Neighborhood Association, responding to a number of issues we needed help with. Specifically he helped us design and get implemented new signage for the park, benches added, security fences repaired, and general cleanup and maintenance.
He was quick to respond and kept us informed along the way, and arranged on site meetings with key city folks. I think he is a great choice though I will miss his support of our NA.

Don't know. But he's the guys who literally looks like Fulop's clone. The resemblance in look, dress and mannerism is scary close.

Is this the same man who gave the Newark Ave. presentation at the last HCNA meeting?
