- Do you support building a Roosevelt Blvd subway line?How do you feel about a Roosevelt Boulevard Subway?

- Thank you all for reaching out to me to offer your well wishes and concerns after I shared my breast cancer story. Keep sending me those notes with dates for your appointments—keep scheduling those exams. It means the world to me and my family.“I am waging my own fight against breast cancer,” writes City Councilmember @MariaQSanchez, “one that began this summer after I had my first mammogram in seven years.” She hopes her story will convince others to get mammograms to catch the disease early. trib.al/tgQ5i8X
