If City Planning has its way, this is what will happen to Middle Village after the IBX stop opens at Eliot Avenue: * A ring of apartment houses will replace the homes around Juniper Valley Park * A dense residential development will be built at Our Lady of Hope * 4-6 story apartment buildings will be constructed above the commercial stores along Eliot at 80th and 74th Streets.
Home ownership will be phased out in favor of apartments. (Your kids will own nothing here and be happy.)
Five to Six story buildings along JBN and JBS. No. Just no.
Well said
Has the FAA commented about the La Guardia approach over six story buildings? There might be a limit for building height based on the approach pattern to runway 13/31, especially during low "ceiling" (low clouds/bad) weather. As it is, LED flashing collision beacons light up my bedroom, every 1 minute 30 seconds apart during high traffic periods. (Maybe that will "save" us!!).
Governments way around building is to add the words “Affordable Housing” to any project. So this is their plan. Based on a train stop that majority of people in middle village don’t want or won’t use, we will rebuild the whole area just based on a train stop. Politicians lost the idea of representing their constituents. Now it’s, this is what we are doing (there will be be a lot of kick backs for them and cost overruns for the taxed constituents) and if you don’t like it, leave.
Phil Wong hard no. Please help.
Terrible news
Say NO to an IBX stop at Elliott.
And I want some of those noise abatement walls installed so the added train traffic doesn’t add noise pollution.
Plus our local power grid can handle the load

Please refer to the IBX as the “Whitey B Gone Plan “
What are we supposed to do? Not everyone affected by this has the financial resources and physical capability to make a drastic life change at this stage in our lives. Where are our rights not toget pushed out of our homes that we worked hard for and have lived in for 30 years!!!!!
Fine. Give me 2 million bucks for my house so I can afford to get the f*ck out of here! What are senior citizens on a limited income with serious health issues and no immediate family alive supposed to do? Where are we supposed to go? Maybe I should move to China which must be empty by now since they're all hear going thru my cans and bottles!
So why couldn't we fight this IBX development? It's a terrible thing to happen to a beautiful residential area
IBX and City of Yes are an existential threat to Middle Village.
Wow
City of yes and hoculs running mate is Adrianne Adams she signed off on the city of yes when she was council speaker remember that when you go vote
Google how to stop IBX project.
Sounds like Klaus Swab From the world economic forum.....There's gonna also phrase out cars. You're all gonna be one big happy Part of the collective Experiment.... The city of yes Will Be FORCE upon everyone While we say no
Mr. Wong needs to fight this absurd plan
And the train stop will become a hangout for mass gatherings of people like they are at all stops along the M line past Metropolitan Avenue throughout Queens and Brooklyn. I guess what happened a couple of months ago about 5 blocks away (at 69th Street and Eliot Avenue) from the new IBX station had faded from memory already.
Watch out people, it's about creating a voting bloc in the area with INDOCTRINATED COLLEGE TRANSPLANTS under the ruse of GENTRIFICATION!!
Fight like he'll to stop it or all will be lost!
Crooked politicians!!
This is such a disaster!!
Remember - The objective is to push all productive taxpayers out of state so the New York politicians ( eventually IslamoFascists) will have a dependent underclass that is easily controllable.
RIP middle village. The same people who vilify historical colonialism are colonizing you right now. You are being governed without consent.
It’s all about money. Tired of hearing from people not from here how it’s going to be an improvement. We don’t want it. Must be stopped.
