Looks like there is hope to curtail City of Yes.

The community council should have a say before developers start a project. I’m sure the building on 79 st in Middle Village in the block of st Margaret was rushed thru. That block is right off metropolitan Av with one and two family homes. In fact it is adjacent to a small one family home. It is an eyesore and doesn’t fit in with the block. Parking is now more than ever a nightmare. Development has to be mindful of neighborhood integrity. We moved into a neighborhood with one and two family homes homes for a reason. Development has to be mindful of that.

Good luck, The City of Yes poses an existential threat to neighborhoods like Middle Village

We do not want City of Yes. Please save our neighborhoods.

We are going to post this just one more time.

The MTA has not approached ANY property owner to acquire land for the IBX. They are still in the environmental review stage. The draft report is expected to be released by the end of the year, then there will be hearings focused on the findings. The report will explain which properties would need to be acquired to facilitate construction.

There is currently NO money for the project past the design phase. Property acquisition comes much later. Please stop posting rumors. They harm the community and local businesses.

You may recall that we posted a link to a study commissioned by the Dept of City Planning that CUNY graduate students did to identify development locations along the IBX. Critics claimed it was “just a student project”.

Now here we have the DOT commissioner using a Hunter College report to justify making life harder for car owners.

it’s true, though. with how expensive car ownership is in NY it is a luxury reserved for leafy suburb homeowners that are far out of step with (and far wealthier than) the average transit-riding renter.

There are to many cars on the road . If you ever notice on westbound LIE traffic there is 1 person per car . There should be some balance on the road . During the 1920-30s you could not park on NYC streets and had to park in lots . Its a car dominant transportation system that was created by Robert Moses . Maybe some more access to public transportation can balance out the way people travel .

😂😂😂😂😂

So he should step down and let someone that understands the needs of new yorkers in

Going by car to midtown from Maspeth is usually little more than 15 minutes. By bus & subway, an hour, more if the Q67 doesn't show up at the half-hour time, as commonly happens.

And what about the disabled who can't use public transportation, the elderly who don't live near any stops, the parents with young kids that need to go to doctors or non local schools, people going shopping for big items, etc etc.

This guy better not own a car and he better travel around the city by public transportation.

He should go fuck himself in plain English. And mandani too
