Future Staten Island transit map I made with the SIR and new BRT lines proposed by the MTA

Made a map to illustrate how Staten Island's rapid transit network could potentially look like in the future.

The MTA is planning 2 new bus rapid transit (BRT) lines on the North and West Shore. The former would convert most of the abandoned SIR North Shore branch to a busway, with two new BRT lines, S1 & S2, running between West Shore Plaza, Arlington & St. George. The S53, S54 and S57 would also be rerouted onto the new busway.

West Shore BRT is planned to run down the medians of MLK Jr Expressway, Richmond Av and Korean War Veterans Parkway. This would form a new north-south line on the West Shore between the Bayonne/8 St HBLR station and Arthur Kill.

Unfortunately, there hasn't been much recent news on either project. The FEIS for North Shore BRT was completed back in January 2024. The project's status was still in "Planning" as of February 2025, per the MTA's website.

West Shore BRT is also not planned to be built until after North Shore BRT is operational. The West Shore Alternatives Analysis was also still in "Planning" in August 2024.

Any job suggestions?

I’m 24 residing in 10301 currently getting my bachelors in social work, I wanna do something peer recovery related but I also don’t mind working in the trades or doing anything else really, I’m honestly pretty desperate. Any suggestions would be helpful. I’m also a transgender man so hoping for something queer friendly

Recommendations on tattoo shops on the island?

Hey everyone, I want to ask if anyone knows and recommends a tattoo place/artist that does good work and isn’t that crazy expensive. I’m looking to get a tattoo (nothing crazy or big) but I don’t know much about tattoo parlors/shops. Thanks in advance.

Workout location recommendations

If you’re looking for a weight only kind of place, planet fitness on south ave is good to go in the morning. Forest gets slammed.

Full body id recommend p2p on victory blvd if you enjoy cardio in a way.

Walking?? Clove lakes hands down. Unless other people have better recommendations lol

Haven’t been here long but I’m exploring!! If you have more to add please let me know. 🙂

Any actual electronics repair shops on the island that aren't just phone/laptop? repair

Ive got an old 90s Denon stereo system. It's a good system. But now it does not work. it flashes "protect" on the display, and turns off.

I'm willing to pay for a repair on a 90s electronic device- but *finding* somewhere is the challenge. Pretty much all """electronics""" repair shops here are just phone and laptop repair at best, and not shops that can repair an actual electronic appliance.(Or that would be even willing to. I have gotten denials.) Of course searching on google or anywhere is useless, at best I get phone repair places. At worse I get places real far out in Jersey or elsewhere.

Surely there must be at least 1 spot here that does repair on these sorts of things?

Domestic Shooting leaves 2 dead

I can't believe this tragedy happened. I can't stop thinking about it. This woman had a child and we knew them. I am heart broken. How do we explain to our children that the child's mom is no longer here and be supportive.

Will pay somebody to remove cones on my street

Fuck all these people on my street that think they own the street and can reserve their parking spots. I’ll pay somebody $50 to come get them all (like 6?) and I’ll hit ya up every time I need it done, cuz they’ll just keep putting them out there.

Has Anyone Had A School Field Trip To a Church?

I was wondering if anyone else had this experience growing up, basicly going on a school field trip to a catholic church in staten island.

This is something personally I have no done but heard students and friends from other schools have done but I'm not so sure this was a thing

If you have or have not let me know.

Flock cameras

I’ve noticed a bunch of flock cameras going up around the south shore. There are 6 of them so far in the target shopping center off veterans road. Who is approving these? Is there any chance of getting them removed? I was considering going to the community board meeting. It’s just funny to me that the most conservative borough with “don’t tread on me” flags everywhere has no problem with living in a surveillance state.

Anyone know who the artist is?

Seen these graffiti pieces while out, does anyone know who the artist is or where you’ve seen other pieces like this? I’m kind of at a point where i want to collect/find more of these pieces to photograph. Especially since the art done in the first image has since been painted over since i photographed it.

Town Hall Thursday (virtual) - Disability Rights

Hey y'all it's me again the Town Hall scouter 😄

Mike DeCillis is hosting another town hall - this one on Thursday evening at 7pm. You only need to RSVP and you'll be given zoom access.

Here's what he posted about it (I'll put the link in the first reply though, and it's on the image):

"Federal cuts have been made to important programs impacting the disability community, and the DOJ’s actions on Olmstead v. L.C. threaten the disability community’s living rights.

Join me on Thursday evening for a virtual town hall to learn how this impacts residents in Staten Island and South Brooklyn. Link 🔗 in bio to RSVP.
