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.Iris Schindelheim Gerofsky and Sam Biegar like this
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

Sam BiegarThis project won't be completed for years. Some areas are zoned for just for commerical uses, cemetery, etc. Nothing is finalized.
22 hours agoLaura PooreI really can’t imagine Middle Village ever becoming that gentrified. It’s so far from the city via public transportation.

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.82117Scott Maack, Christina Dans-Kalesioris and 26 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?
