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

Phil Wong hard no. Please help.

Terrible news

Plus our local power grid can handle the load

Robert Moses 2.0.

Please refer to the IBX as the “Whitey B Gone Plan “

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.

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.

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.

Absolutely disgusting

It’s very interesting that they don’t address the infrastructure issues that this plan will create. The blocks between Eliot Ave and Juniper Blvd North from 76 to 80 Sts flood now with heavy rain. These plans only provide info that supports the IBX. Total BS!

to destroy a neighborhood, for what?…you have to leave the city to find what you already had…and this housing stock can not be rebuilt..solid brick or old wood…WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU, NYC?

Every single summer. And winter for that matter.

Out yet also! 67th street & Eliot Ave

Wish they could invest in fixing this and put all our power lines underground. 🥲

All the time. Like a third world country.

You have no power(electricity) and yet they charge you for the delivery. Thats not right

Still have overhead wires, insane

I don’t miss NY. Miss the friends, but definitely not the municipality

Always has been an issue for decades

And it's still not fixed! Power completely out again!

But keep fkn raising our rates.

Now they are going to say all need to be on solar

Still no power on 61st road by eliot and 68th street

Still no power on 68 street off of eliot

Cooling centers close on the weekend. What kind of help is that? Look it up on the 311 website.

They need to stop with all the illegal apartments. They are draining our electrical and sewer systems. It is out of control…

Con Ed and all othee services have no right raising rates. DISGUSTING
