SERVING MIDDLE VILLAGE AND MASPETH SINCE 1938.
Areas that will be rezoned for high density market rate housing once IBX opens. Each circle represents 1/2 mile radius from a station. It will completely destroy large swaths of Elmhurst, Maspeth, Mid
I really can’t imagine Middle Village ever becoming that gentrified. It’s so far from the city via public transportation.
Can you post this in Glendale Civic Association group please?
Barbecues in Juniper Park-- coming soon
I agree! Let’s fight this. We need to keep our neighborhoods safe.
Then comes the eminent domain
Is there a source on the plan to upzone all the way to high density? The proposals I have seen show nothing (preferring to convert dead commercial and manufacturing space) or a modest upzone to the highest end of low-density zoning. And still, all of this requires many people to sell their property because of the prevalence of row housing
Yup, I read that they estimated that 37k new units if housing can be built in middle village alone
FYI- There are only zoning proposals right now.
Will this cause our property values to go down if living near the train?

Dear everyone! Please provide a list or steps on how to fight prevent and reduce all possibilities. If we can gather steps to fight and prevent, I would not mind leading a pack to ensure we follow and make every attempt possible. I was pushed out of wiliamburg as a born native. I refuse to have it done again in Glendale.
Please don’t we don’t want another Williamsburg/bushwick
Let's continue to FIGHT THIS. WE DO NOT WANT OR NEED THIS IBX!
The question is CAN we fight it? Residents of maspeth, middle village and elmhurst and perhaps all areas of queens affected need a joint meeting with our elected officials as soon as possible to discuss the most effective process to fight this.
This is why I moved. Once that homeless shelter went up on Cooper I knew it was only a matter of time till it got worse. Sad. They’re gonna do whatever they want at the end.
Basically they’re gonna buy up homes and put massive apartments in their place. Then they won’t care who they will rent to and it will probably result in whoever or whatever or however they can fill those apartments. Basically you’ll invite the animals in and everyone will be shocked when the area becomes a zoo
The sewer & electric infrastructure cannot support us today, how could we possibly handle a significant increase in residents?!
People get what they voted for! And people who don’t vote are to blame even more!
I do not thinknit is gentrification. Gentrification is when you make a neighborhood better with high end rentals and high end stores
Can someone explain it to me? How is possible around the Juniper Park. Only private houses around...
CITY SUCKS
All this crap and then we might get a new mayor that's a socialist what's going on in the city
If you are going to fight this then you have to be fully committed to show up to every Juniper Civic Association meeting and Community Board 5 meeting and voice your concerns in person. Complaining on Facebook isn't enough. As for keeping the neighborhood safe MV has always been a low priority for the 104th precinct. We've always been on our own with little or no coverage and violent crime is a rarity IMHO. I dont see the neighborhood changing much as a result of this. People generally can't afford MV and are automatically turned off by the housing prices.
NYC living is exhausting. 😑
NYC would lose 300,000 parking spots and $3B under this lefty City Council plan

NYC drivers would lose roughly 300,000 parking spots and taxpayers would be in the hole for $3 billion under a bill being fast-tracked by far-left City Council members.82114Scott Maack, Christina Dans-Kalesioris and 23 others reacted to this
Carol J. BawerFor a while there was a rule prohibiting high profile vehicles from parking less than 10 feet from the corner. It helped me at the corner of 82nd Place and Penelope. There's no way to see over or through SUV's with tinted windows. Maybe just check where there are issues and limit who can park in the spot closest to the corner

2 weeks ago 2Balfour Enrique Albacarys VillegasWhat about CitiBike racks? Instead of putting them on plazas, triangles, parks or wide sidewalks, they put them wherever they want, with no input or guidance from communities. I've personally seen, in Corona, by Newtown HS, bike racks in the street, taking up let's say 5 parking spots, and across the street, there's a Parks Department Triangle. No benches, no tree pits, no play equipment. Perfect spot for CitiBike racks. The people that select the spots for CitiBike locations probably don't even live in NYC. They just haphazardly and without consideration place them wherever they want. It's high time that communities tell THEM where we want these racks, if we even want them at all. Who's with me?

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Frank Artim, Sam Biegar and 2 others like this
