Mark your calendars! The MTA will FINALLY be hosting an open house in Middle Village, where you can actually ask questions, unlike last night's scoping session where you could only comment.
Majority of neighborhood doesn’t want it. Yet here we are. Open house.
What a disaster this will be. Years of tearing up cemeteries and digging tunnels. Think of the flooding and the rats. Oh happy days. All for what so that a handful of people can walk to a light rail to lovely Jackson Heights or East New York. It takes you no closer to Manhattan than we already are.
Doing this and making buses free is overkill. Let's pick one or the other please.
It is a huge waste of money
The deadline for the next Juniper Berry is Friday, November 14. Send submissions to info@junipercivic.com
Dear Stakeholders,
We are reaching out to inform you of our next round of open houses on the Interborough Express (IBX) project in Brooklyn and Queens this month!
Open House Date/Location:
November 19, 2025 - 6-8pm, Trinity Lutheran Church (63-70 Dry Harbor Rd., Middle Village, NY 11379)
These open house events will take place during the project’s environmental review public comment period. While there won’t be an opportunity for formal in-person public comments during these events, project team members will give a presentation and be available to answer your questions. Should you wish to provide a formal comment, comment cards will be available, and comments can be submitted on our project website.
We appreciate your continued engagement and look forward to your participation in this important phase of the IBX project. We will continue to notify you of other public engagement opportunities in the future.
Sincerely,
The IBX Project Team
Attended an IBX event tonight. No Q&A but rather an opportunity to go on the record with your comments. People who registered to speak had two minutes to voice their thoughts. It is important that people attend these events and I know that the juniper park civic association is active and engaged in the community.
The people who were for it presented irrelevant arguments such as “ to go to Brooklyn College, so that the elementary school children can take it home, so I can go back to Brooklyn.” PS: this doesn’t make it any easier to go to Brooklyn. You can easily now Take the train at Metro for that. Do your HW. It doesn’t go to Junction to link commuters to other trains. It’s basically a train to Jackson Heights. You can easily take a bus there all along Woodhaven.
There is power in numbers. Show up. Speak up. Organize a huge and very visible protest. There is a comment period until November 26th. Silence is certain defeat.
Dos this really do anything? Once it’s set they dont care what the people want or think ?
IBX meeting tonight at 5:30 at Christ the King
Sign up if you haven’t already ⬇️
