WILLIAMSBURG –Hard to believe but true: Before Ruben Figueroa started working for the city’s public works department seven years ago, Williamsburg, a showplace of 18th Century design, never had someone on staff who could build or rebuild a brick sidewalk.

Figueroa and his colleagues are currently installing 1,100 square feet of brick sidewalk on Francis Street, from Nassau to South England Street. Previously, Figueroa and a team built 2,100 square feet of sidewalk along Longhill Road from Kiwanis Park to the city line. Why is this important?

The New Local News Model

On July 1, we started a new way to pay for news. Yes, we want you to subscribe, but we know nobody subscribes to every site they visit just because there’s a paywall.

So if you don’t want to subscribe (even at the low price of $39.99 for a year), you can pay for access to individual articles. Or just buy a 24-hour pass, as if you were buying a single copy of a newspaper. We use a new payment service called Transact, which lets you pay for individual articles in as little as three seconds. And you will get $3 in credit when you sign up (just an email address, no credit card required), which will let you pay for at least 20 articles.

This is new for everyone, so we’re going to ease you into this. Initially, there won’t be many articles that you have to pay for. Short ones will always be free. And even the longer stories will let you read the first half or so for free. We’d love to hear what you think, so send us a note at [email protected].
