Co-op City cannot make peace with the destruction of Ramp C. Losing Ramp C would cut off one of very few ways into Section 5. Losing Ramp C would limit access to the area’s more than 4,000 apartments and private homes, potentially endangering the 10,000 people who live and work here in Section 5.

I receive complaints about a lot of matters that go on here. So, let’s see if we can make some improvements here.

Too Much Noise

Some cooperators are making a lot of complaints about noise. And, here is a sampling of some of the complaints: “The children above me are allowed to run and play throughout their entire apartment all day long. The woman above me likes to walk throughout her apartment making noise. The guy above me likes to bang on objects all day and all night. Then, he will follow me making noise as I go from room to room. They will stop making noise as soon as I call Public Safety.” Incredible, huh?

As cooperators, we have to learn to live together peacefully. So, that should mean that we’re going ty on you because your children were making too much noise? If yes, then, let’s see if we can do our part to avoid these complaints.

Example, we have nice parks throughout our community. So, can we create fun days and take our children to a park? Do they have a ball or other toys? If possible, can we play a game of catch? What about a nice game of tag? Look, once they go to a park and have fun playing, then they will probably want to return to that park again and again. Then, they will remember those fun days in that park forever. But, that’s what we call family love.

Rain? No problem. Can we create educational days for them? For instance, we can review several ing a nice board game with them? Can we get some noise from children that become active with their toys? What about packing up some sandwiches and going to some of the museums and zoos?

What about all of those nice photos that will be taken at those places? What about looking at those photos as your kids are growing up? Again, that’s
