CABLE TV - I have the unfortunate experience of living in an area that is solely serviced by only one cable provider. This has been nothing but bad luck. Avoid them at all costs for the following reasons:

It's about time because it took long enough. But if you believe NYC Parks this time, City Island's Belden Point capital project will soon create a small green space and plaza at the southern end of City Island Avenue including new pavement, benches, bollards, and railings.

Bronx county allocated $170,000 for this project, and NY State secured an additional $170,000 grant. The project has been awarded to a contractor, and a contract was registered on March 10. They are currently negotiating a start date with that contractor.
