INTRODUCTION
These Statements of Community District Needs, prepared by New York City's community
boards, provide a context for development and assessment of their budget priorities. Pursuant
to Sections 230 and 231 of the City Charter, community boards submit annual expense and
capital budget priorities which must be considered by city agencies in the preparation of their
departmental budget estimates.
Material preceding each statement, supplied by the Department of City Planning, summarizes
district demographic and land use characteristics. The district profiles include:
o Population counts from the 1980, 1990, and 2000 censuses. 2005 population estimates
are listed for the City and borough totals based on Department of City Planning
estimates as adopted by the Census Bureau in September 2006. For more information
on the 2000 census, see www.nyc.gov/planning;
o Resident births and deaths within New York City, 2000 and 2006, from data prepared by
the New York City Department of Health;
o 2000 and 2008 income support levels -- Public Assistance, Supplemental Security
Income and Medicaid-Only (excluding nursing home cases) -- provided by the New York
City Human Resources Administration from their Medicaid Eligibility File;
o Total land area from the Department of City Planning's 2007 LION street and District
base map files; and
o Land use in 2008, from the city’s Real Property File providing the number of tax lots, lot
area and percentage of total lot area in each land use category.1 Lot area is in
thousands of square feet and excludes lots with missing dimensions. Lots with certain
classifications, such as land under water, are categorized as “Miscellaneous”. The land
uses of joint interest areas, which are not part of any community district, are assigned
to appropriate categories in the borough and citywide profiles. For example, Central
Park is counted as “Open Space Recreation” in the Manhattan and New York City
profiles. City and borough land use totals may therefore exceed the sum of the
community districts.
This edition of Community District Needs features day care and Head Start centers, senior
centers, public libraries, and city-owned cultural institutions. Based on 2006 and 2007 data,
maps of each community district show the location of these facilities. The maps are keyed to
lists of the facilities with addresses and capacities.
This edition continues to include borough maps of City Council districts and computer-generated
base maps of community districts. The base maps are available on the Department’s website
and sold in the Department’s bookstore. Summary 2000 census data are provided. Each
district profile also contains a listing of line-item projects funded in the Fiscal Year 2009 Capital
Budget. More information by community district, including land use maps and selected
community facilities, is available at www.nyc.gov/planning.
The Department hopes that these statements will prove useful to communities and agencies
planning for future programs and services. We welcome suggestions for the next edition of
Community District Needs.

Condominiums, which have separate tax lots for each unit, are aggregated to a single tax lot per block. Only one address per
condominium complex (structures under the same condominium association) is counted.

INTRODUCTION
EXECUTIVE BOARD
Vinicio Donato
Chairperson Community Board 1 is the most ethnically diverse district in Queens with 118
Joseph Guarino nationalities. It is also one of the most industrial and commercial districts. We
First Vice Chairperson have a large immigrant, senior and youth population and we are ranked the
George L. Stamatiades
Second Vice Chairperson
second/third largest Community Board in Queens.
Norma Nieves-Blas
Third Vice Chairperson We are seeing a tremendous increase of housing construction. This growth and
John A. Scourakis development has created a daily struggle to maintain our community.
Executive Secretary
Peter Pallos
Sergeant-at-Arms We are very concerned about the N train extension to LaGuardia Airport. If the
MTA chooses to extend the N train up 31st Street, it will destroy the

commercial and residential area and will devastate the 19th Avenue industrial
area. Excavation and construction will take an estimated eight years driving

DISTRICT NEEDS STATEMENT
Linda Perno
Environmental Protection Our priorities in the Capital Construction Budget are:
Joan Asselin
Health& Social Services/
Senior 1. The Potts Cove residential and industrial area is in desperate need of City
Anna Kril services. New sewer and street construction are needed in order to bring this

area up to date. Large industries will move in employing more local residents
Industrial/Commercial when this is accomplished.
Julian Wager
Parks & Recreation/ 2. Storm sewer construction and rehabilitation throughout our community is
Cultural Affairs/OTB
Paul Vallone needed. Our systems are old and were built for a lesser population. Because of
Public Safety the tremendous increase in housing and population growth these systems must

BUILDINGS
Inspectors should visit the auto repair shops to see if they have proper Certificates of Occupancy, many
do not. These shops are often a nuisance to our community, especially in the Long Island City area.
Due to our growing population and the shortage of affordable housing, we are seeing a rise in il-
legal apartment conversions. The State should consider legislation to permit building standards to
legalize some of the illegal uses and add them to the tax roll. Those that do not qualify should face
stiff fines since these landlords are making a tax-free profit and endangering lives.
CITY PLANNING
Our housing boom is real. There is new construction throughout our community, making this the
second biggest growth since the 1930s. We need to consider new zoning to better define what would
serve our community best. The current zoning was established in 1961, it must be updated.
Our waterfront has the best views of our City. We need high rise along our waterfront as is being
done in Long Island City and the Hunters Point area. We should build fishing piers at 31st Avenue/
Vernon Boulevard, next to Societies Park and a marina at Potts Cove and Halletts Cove.
CONSUMER AFFAIRS
We have the highest number of licensed unenclosed sidewalk cafes in Queens, presently 49. In addition,
many are operating without a license. We urge Consumer Affairs to crack down on these violators.
We also ask that those small establishments that wish to put out up to 4 tables pay a standard fee
making it easier for them to get a permit. The Community Board should have these applications.
We ask for a nuisance law that can strike a license for 30 days to any business that continues to
ignore quality of life concerns, such as garbage, loud music, loitering, etc.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
Our district, like many in Queens, has a high graffiti rate. We urge our District Attorney to pros-
ecute graffiti to the fullest extent of the law. Mandated sentencing must be given to those commit-
ting this quality of life crime.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Our district has the largest number of commercial businesses. Our commercial strips are in need
of continual support in order to be maintained and upgraded. The Astoria Boulevard area, west of
21st Street, must be improved if business is to survive there. A traffic study of this area should be
made. The Queens Plaza area must be made a priority in order to attract business.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
There is a great need citywide for air, noise and water inspectors to address quality of life issues.
We need an independent air inspection to monitor our power plants and airport. Catch basins are
not cleaned on a routine schedule due to a lack of manpower. Running hydrants waste up to 60,000
gallons of water per hour. Violators should be arrested and fined.
We need “Do Not Honk” signs posted in many locations such as senior housing, schools and the hos-
pital. We need loud motorcycles and automobiles to be fined and confiscated for excessive noise.
18
FORESTRY
Queens has more trees than all the other boroughs combined. We have an astonishing number of
dead and dying trees. There is a tremendous backlog of trees removal and pruning. The Depart-
ment of Forestry must be given top priority in the Expense Budget. Trees beautify our community
and they do need continual maintenance.
HOUSING
The New York City Housing Authority should better screen tenants before admission into the
developments. Community Board 1 has the most developments in Queens. Tenant leaders have
made their concerns known to us and insisted on a tenant screening committee for each of the four
developments in the area. They also want to see evictions of those convicted of crimes while liv-
ing in any development. Also, there must be better follow-up for those homeless people who were
placed in the development by court order
HUMAN SERVICES
We have a growing need for affordable housing, especially for seniors. Our youth populations and
those new immigrants to our community need career training. Programs that offer these training
services should be increased in funding to meet this need. We need shelters for homeless adults
that are safe and preferable to living in the streets.
PARKS
We need better clean-up of our parks. The personnel should be increased. Vandals who maliciously
destroy park property must be prosecuted. Athens Square Park, located on 30th Avenue/30th Street,
has become the focal point of our community with ethnic cultural entertainment taking place three
nights a week during the summer months. This is a 9PM curfew, which should be enforced.
Police and park enforcements should confiscate skateboards if they continue to violate park rules.
Roller-skating, bike riding and alcoholic beverage drinking, where prohibited, should be strictly
enforced. We need to build a skateboard park and a full hockey rink to accommodate our youth.
POLICE
We urge our Police to summons cars with loud radios and taxi cabs that honk their hors for pas-
senger pickup, especially during the evening hours. Stiff fines for disturbing the peace should be
issued. Loud motorcycles should be confiscated. We also need enforcement of the barbecuing at
Astoria and Ralph DeMarco Parks because they always leave their garbage behind.
The 114th Precinct is located on Astoria Boulevard So/35th Street. Police angle park on Astoria Boulevard,
which is a truck route, and on 36th Street. We must build a parking lot over the Grand central Parkway to
accommodate the 114th vehicles and commuters who park in the area travel to Manhattan by train.
SANITATION
Sanitation must improve services to commercial strips. Daily pedestrian sanitation pick up must be
made especially on weekends when shoppers are out. Fines should be issued to those pedestrians
caught littering. To often the storeowner is fined but never the violators. We need to fully restore
the clean team lost by cutbacks and we want stricter enforcement of the Canine Law. Queens Plaza
should be a priority in monitoring clean streets since it is the gateway to Queens.
TAXI & LIMOSINE COMMISSION (TLC)

We have the most base stations in Queens. We feel this agency gives no consideration to our ob-
jections, especially when these stations are located in busy commercial areas. The TLC does not
19
properly monitor these stations for violations when reported to them. Community Boards should
be permitted to submit restricted zones for base stations or for over saturations.
TRANSPORTATION
We have seen an upsurge in street construction. We now point to the need for tow services to com-
bat deplorable conditions created by auto repair shops that park unlicensed vehicles on sidewalks.
This service will also aid Police in other areas as needed, such as removing stalled vehicles. We
need a location for a car pound in order to get this service. We also need to expand the exit ramp
at Steinway Street off the Grand Central Parkway, one lane to turn left, one to turn right and the
center onto the service road. This will alleviate the backup of traffic on the parkway.
We need additional angle parking, as we have on 31st Street between Ditmars Boulevard and 21st
Avenue, to accommodate motorist and shoppers.
This agency should identify choice locations for bidding out to street food vendors, as the Depart-
ment of Parks and Recreation does. Vendors would pay high prices for choice locations, such as
the Wall Street area and theater district. These vendors would be free of harassment and the monies
generated would benefit the City. Street food venders presently pay nothing to sell on city streets.
There should also be a 15 MPH speed limit posted at narrow streets and around schools. Right
now the speed limit is 30 MPH citywide where not posted. Community Boards should be able to
submit locations for the reduced speed.

STATEMENT OF DISTRICT NEEDS 2010
INTRODUCTION
Community Board 2 represents the areas of Sunnyside, Woodside, Long Island City a
portion of West Maspeth. The district is bounded on the north by Queens Plaza North,
the northern property line of the Sunnyside Rail Yard and Northern Boulevard; on the east
by the Con Rail property; on the south by Calamus, Maurice and Maspeth Avenues and
Newtown Creek; the East River to the west.
Community Board 2 is a diverse zoning district consisting of one, two family homes as well as
a large number of multiple dwellings including Queens West, a very rapidly expanding resi-
dential district; commercial, manufacturing and industrial areas; mass transit systems and is
accessible by a number of arterial highways, bridges, and the Queens Midtown Tunnel.
Board 2 is home to Citicorp Tower One and Two, the UN Credit Bank, Silvercup Studios,
DeVry Institute, LaGuardia Community College, LaGuardia Performing Arts Center, P.S. 1
Contemporary Art Museum, Thalia Spanish Theatre; and the Borden Avenue Veterans Resi-
dence. The Long Island City Business Improvement District and the Sunnyside Business
Improvement District are working to improve and enhance the commercial districts in CB 2.
Board meetings are held on the first Thursday of every month September through June.
An example of the diverse residential and commercial districts within CB 2, Sunnyside

Gardens was designated as a Landmark District while not far from Sunnyside Gardens
there is the industrial portion of Maspeth with some of the largest trucking and distribution
firms in New York City.
Hunters Point, in Long Island City, a special mixed-use district with an IBZ, (Industrial
Business Zone) and is experiencing rapidly expanding residential developments. The
Department of City Planning rezoned portions of Long Island City that will allow for com-
mercial development along Jackson Avenue and created a Hunters Point Sub District.
The Queens West Waterfront Development in Long Island City has seen a rapid growth of
residential developments along what is know today as Queens West North. Development
29
plans are also in review for Queens West South, which is known as Hunters Point South.
Hunters Point South is planned for 5,000 new mixed income residential units to include
retail stores, a new school and park land along the East River.
DEPARTMENT FOR THE AGING:

Community Board 2 is home to one of the largest populations of senior citizens. This
Board conducted a survey and identified that seniors in this district are in need of se-
nior multi-language counseling and application preparation services, affordable housing,
around the clock home care, health care and transportation services.
In addition, attention has been directed to a need to expand the Meals-On-Wheels Pro-
gram to the homebound residing in the area and an increased demand for skilled nursing
to conduct home visits to the growing frail elderly population residing in Board 2.
Presently, seniors within the boundaries of Community Board 2 are serviced by only one
full service senior center located in Sunnyside. The seniors in the communities of Long
Island City and Woodside, with over two-third of CB#2’s senior population, need commu-
nity based full service senior centers. The need for new centers is especially important
since the closing of St. Mary’s Senior Center in Long Island City and the growing Latino
and Asian senior populations in Woodside. With the increasing number of participants
seeking services, Community Board 2 supports increased funding levels to senior centers
in order to meet the needs of our senior citizen population.
CITY SERVICES
Livery Services
The number of base stations and livery car services operating within Community Board
2 continues to be a major source of concern. Because of the district’s proximity to major
arterial roadways, and the mass transit system, this area has become a prime location for
livery companies. Currently, there are approximately thirty-five (35) base stations housed
within this district and growing.
Despite the fact that livery drivers claim to be dispatched from off-street parking locations,
they routinely roam local roadways, and they utilize on-street parking spaces at metered
areas along Queens Boulevard and Roosevelt Avenue. Moreover, the Board is regularly
presented with inadequate, and often questionable, leases or other documentation of
licensees’ off-street parking facilities.
Complaints related to livery drivers who double park, obstruct hydrants and crosswalks
are frequently generated to Board 2. The noted issues create a minimum number of on-
street parking spaces for patrons shopping at local businesses, and unsafe conditions for
pedestrians and motorists throughout the community.
This Board has benefited from TLC Enforcement programs that have been addressing
complaints. Further, Community Board 2 continues to review TLC applications, makes
recommendations on base station requests, and notifies the agency of problematic op-
erations in the district.
Community Board 2 welcomes increased enforcement, on a continuous basis, of licens-

ee’s utilization of metered spaces, particularly at 61st Street at Roosevelt Avenue and at
Queens Boulevard at 46th Street. In addition, the Board would like to see greater TLC
30
verification and oversight with respect to the leases and other documentation tendered by
licensees for off-street parking facilities.
LIQUOR LICENSING
The New York State Liquor Authority issues liquor licenses to establishments throughout
the City of New York. However, this agency (with a minimal number of inspectors for New
York State) is not empowered with the responsibility to enforce the laws of both the state
and city. Local precincts have, and continue to conduct inter-agency inspections of local
businesses that serve alcoholic beverages.
The Board has frequently requested information from the NYS Liquor Authority and invit-
ed SLA representatives to meet with CB2, without response. More significantly, the Board
regularly submits comments, and occasionally objections, with respect to the granting
and/or renewal of certain SLA licenses, without response from the SLA as to its action on
such applications or renewals. This occurs even under circumstances where the SLA is
required by law to make a finding that the granting of such a license “is in the best inter-
est of the community” and delineate its reasons for such a finding. The New York State
Liquor Authority needs to pay more attention to community concerns and issues, prior to
approving liquor licenses.
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

Residential curbside recycling and source separation of paper, metal, plastic bottles and
glass was implemented in this District in 1993. Currently recycling in New York City is only
17% and initiatives should be developed to increased diversion rates for recyclables.
Marine Transfer Stations throughout the City should be re-opened and utilized for the transport
of putrescible waste by barge. Transport by rail should also be implemented. Currently, New
York City’s garbage is being trucked to landfills in New Jersey, resulting in increased air pollution,
damage to highways and bridges by the additional heavy trucks and wasted money.
New York City should implement collection of paint and hazardous waste to safely dispose of
toxic materials. Collection of compostable materials, as well as distribution of the compost,
should be continued and expanded to include yard waste collected in the spring and summer.
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Air Quality
Air pollution continues to be a matter of great concern in Community Board 2. This
mixed-use district consists of a vast number of manufacturing, industrial and commercial
operations with several waste transfer stations that are expanding their facilities--issues
that warrant air monitoring. These concerns as well as Board 2’s proximity to several ar-
terial highways and major thoroughfares (i.e. Brooklyn Queens Expressway, Long Island
Expressway, Queens and Northern Boulevards, Roosevelt Avenue, etc.) contribute to this
district’s focus on air quality. Plans to place air monitoring equipment at sites throughout
the borough, particularly in Community Board 2, requires continued support by our Envi-
ronmental agencies.
Noise
Loud noise raises blood pressure, disturbs sleep and causes hearing loss. New York City gov-
31
ernment has recently recognized the negative impact of noise on the health of its citizens by
enacting noise regulations. The city should enforce this law for the health of its citizens.
Also, there have been increasing complaints within the Community Board 2 district of noise
emanating from within bars and other establishments, as well as outside such establish-
ments from patrons congregating for the purpose of smoking. The Board would like to see
greater enforcement of existing regulation of such conduct, rather than the enactment of
additional restrictions such as the proposed Cabaret Law and Noise Code changes.
As part of the East Side Access Project, environmental barriers should be erected on the
south side of the new track near residences and businesses to ameliorate the existing noise
(currently 68 decibels) and that expected to be caused by the additional trains.
Sewers
Community Board 2 is served by storm, sanitary and combined sewer systems. Many of
the sewers now in use throughout our district are among the oldest in the City and are un-
able to handle the increased volume caused by plans for higher density residential devel-
opment and business expansion and growth. The City must continue to provide improved
systems and participate in the planning for new development.
Sludge Management
The beneficial reuse of sludge continues to be a priority concern since the City signed the
Ocean Dumping Ban Act. The heavy metal content of city sludge must be abated and
environmentally conscious programs and technologies must continue to be studied, and
disposal techniques developed.
Water Supply
The construction of Water Tunnel 3, which runs through Community Board 2, is expected
to improve the distribution system in western Queens. Board 2 has been approved by
Percent for Art to develop open space at 73rd Street, north of 51st Avenue at the water
tunnel construction site in our district.
Board 2 supports the establishment of a public display about the water tunnel project, as
well as outdoor recreational space, on 37th Avenue, between 46th and 48th Streets. This
site is owned by the City of New York and is currently used by the Department of Trans-
portation to store Jersey barriers and light poles. In the future it will be used for access
to a valve chamber for Water Tunnel 3. The site has a historically valuable building once
used by the New York Water Works. It is in Board 1 just to the north of Board 2 but will
serve residents of both boards, as well as visitors to the area.
EDUCATION
Schools
For a number of years Community Board 2 has requested improvements to existing
schools located in School Districts 14 and 30 serving this area’s youth. Many of our
schools have outstanding work orders for repairs to broken windows, inoperable doors
and faulty plumbing. School structures should be maintained in top condition to insure
the safety of the student enrollment. The Board of Education and the School Construc-
tion Authority need to review procedures for repairs to school facilities and streamline the
process to allow for repairs within a reasonable timeframe.
32
Board 2 has identified a need for new schools to alleviate overcrowding and to create
additional classroom space. We must continue to advocate for funding to construct new
educational facilities and expand existing schools. We would welcome the addition of
more new small high schools to our area, as long as they are developed on a new site,
and not housed in any of our currently over-utilized school buildings. Community Board
2 looks forward to working closely with the noted agencies to assist in identifying suitable
sites for these new high schools, for expanding and creating additions to existing schools,
and for the construction of new schools.
FIRE DEPARTMENT/PUBLIC SAFETY

Firehouses and Battalions servicing this district and adjoining communities should be kept
open to insure the safety of the public. In addition, with the on-going development of the
Long Island City waterfront, the NYC Fire Department must review the current services
in south-western Queens to insure manpower levels and equipment are adequate for the
safety of the Long Island City community.
We must continue to work with the NYC Fire Department’s Emergency Medical Services
to identify permanent sites throughout the district for their equipment.
The Board’s area also lacks adequate EMS ambulance coverage on a 24-hour basis. The
boundaries of the Community Board are spread out and the recent traffic safety changes
along Queens Boulevard appear to have added to EMS response times, which exceed city-
wide averages. The Board would like the number of 24-hour ambulance tour shifts currently
serving our community increased to no less than five such shifts.
HEALTH ISSUES
Southwest Queens lacks a primary care medical facility and outpatient clinics to serve
the medical needs of Community Board 2’s increasing population. In the past, this Board
spoke to the Queens Borough President on the concept of construction of a major medi-
cal complex in western Queens. Currently, Queens’ residents travel to Manhattan or to
Eastern Queens to receive specialized medical services.
The Long Island City area is severely underserved by the City’s public health network. In a
health care survey, by the Floating Hospital of New York, Long Island City was found to be one of
the most critically underserved communities in New York City. The area has one of the highest
rates of child and HIV-AIDS caused diseases in Queens County. The nearest city supported full
service health care facility for low-income families is either in Manhattan or Eastern Queens. A
full service health clinic needs to be established in the Long Island City area.
In addition, there is a dramatic need for a low-income child daycare center within Commu-
nity Board 2. In the last six years, in the Sunnyside/Woodside area, the birth rate has av-
eraged over 1,500 live births per year; 85% were births to foreign born mothers, and 65%
to mothers on Medicaid. This high rate of births (4th highest CB rate in Queens County)
and high rate of mothers on Medicaid (3rd highest CB rate in Queens County) calls for
affordable child daycare for the more than 95,000 minority residents in Board 2.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
The 108th Police Precinct presently located at 5-47 50th Avenue, Long Island City,
33
is in the southwestern most portion of our district, just two blocks from the East River.
The existing building was dedicated in 1904 and is surrounded by attached row homes
and manufacturing firms to the west and is east of Vernon Boulevard. The stationhouse is
too small to accommodate the number of police officers assigned to this precinct. There
is a lack of ample facilities for female officers and the building is deficient in adequate
space for support services of the 108th Police Precinct.
The 108th Precinct lacks off-street parking areas to accommodate staff vehicles, as well as official
vehicles assigned to the precinct. Due to the lack of space, parking around the precinct is a night-
mare; resulting in obstructed sidewalks, driveways and long-term use of DOT metered locations.
Community Board 2 requests site selection and acquisition of property to construct a new
centrally located stationhouse, to include increased floor area, with ample off-street and
on-street parking sites. This Board looks forward to working closely with the involved
agencies in identifying suitable sites for this project.
Commitments to increase the 108th Precinct’s manpower levels, remains a critical issue.
Despite the on-going assignment of new officers to the 108th Precinct, manpower still
remains low due to reassignments, transfers, retirement, etc. It is imperative for the City
to assign at least 25 new officers each graduating class to enable adequate response to
emergencies as well as quality of life complaints.
Quality of Life Issues

Vandalism in the Parks and of cars; substance abuse, noise pollution, and graffiti in our
open public space, abandoned cars; double parking; sidewalk and hydrant obstruction;
illegal truck traffic and speeding conditions are making ever-increasing demands on the
current manpower of the 108th Precinct. We want to improve the present manpower
levels at the 108th Precinct.
The District is home to the Van Dam Correctional Facility that draws from our precinct’s
manpower. There are three major bridges, the Queens Midtown Tunnel, Long Island Ex-
pressway and Brooklyn Queens Expressway that connect with other boroughs. Commu-
nity Board 2 also has a large portion of the City’s Rapid Transit system running through
our district, as well as the Sunnyside Rail Yards. Manpower is drawn from the 108th
Police Precinct whenever an accident or major incident occurs at any of these locations;
as well as for large citywide events.
Enforcement
There is a proliferation of auto body shops and car service establishments throughout
the board area. Many of these businesses utilize on-street parking spaces to accommo-
date their day-to-day operation. Consequently, our sidewalks and streets are constantly
obstructed by illegally parked cars/trucks. Traffic Enforcement must be increased and
continue to be able to monitor the district and execute City laws.
Traffic Control Agents

This district continues to experience a marked increase in traffic congestion and poor air
quality due to the number of reconstruction projects currently underway with a projection
for additional projects in the near future. We continue to express a need for Agents on a
daily basis in our community to insure adequate flow of traffic.
34
DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION
With less than 20 acres of parkland, Community Board 2 is greatly in need of further
development of open spaces into parks. Pocket areas or vacant and unused properties
that lay dormant are acquired and developed into open space under the “Greenstreets
Program” and other programs, to provide recreational areas for our diverse population.
Open space and waterfront access continues to be a priority of this Board. Development
of the Long Island City Waterfront must provide adequate recreational space to accom-
modate the planned growth of that area while incorporating the needs of the existing
residential community, manufacturing firms and businesses surrounding and adjacent to
the waterfront project.
Constant use of our parks necessitates daily clean-up and maintenance of the parks sites
in Community Board 2. Overflowing trash baskets combined with piles of litter throughout
the parks attract vermin and rats, which are detrimental to our residents and discourage
use of our precious open spaces.
Forestry
Trees, both in our parks and along our streets minimize the effects of pollutants in the air.
This Board continues to request funds for continued tree planting in the district.
Through the years, CB2 has found that requests to address diseased trees, pruning of
existing trees, and the removal of dead trees are severely backlogged. Looking ahead to
the Mayor’s 2030 plan, CB2 welcomes the additional funding and planting of additional
street trees in our district.
DEPARTMENT OF YOUTH SERVICES

Community Planning Board 2 lacks available space and funding for Youth Service pro-
grams. A multi-service youth center is needed and has been a priority of Board 2 for
many years. It is imperative that our young people be provided with structured programs
at no cost, in safe environments. Programming needs to include recreation, counseling,
health services, substance abuse prevention, conflict resolution, job training and place-
ment mentoring, college options, internships, peer leadership, academic enhancement,
and family services. This type of multi-faceted programming would benefit both the “at-
risk” population as well as those young people who function well but need support.
Special needs continue to be increasingly evident in our community. The need to address
immigration issues continues to be a priority in our multi-ethnic neighborhoods. Also, with
the increase of parents in “welfare to work” programs, as well as the increase in parents
working two or more jobs, there is a significant increase in “latch-key” children. Addition-
ally, schools and youth servicing agencies are reporting increases in child abuse and
neglect cases. There also appears to be a growing number of teen parents. Parenting
skills programs need to be included in any strategic planning.
In light of the fact this district lacks a multi-service youth center, at this time, and
until we acquire one, maximum use of available space must be considered. Public school
buildings should be utilized for extended day, evening and weekend programs. This in-
cludes the establishment of a Beacon program within the Queens Community Board 2
boundaries. Our young people deserve programs that they can walk to. Safety issues
35
preclude traveling to distant locations. Additionally, the opening fees and custodial fees
being charged to community-based organizations need to be lifted in order to allow the
greater use of school facilities.
The Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) has increased its scope
of services to include Out of School Time (OST) Programs for youth. These programs
may offer a mix of academic support, sports, recreation activities, the arts, and cultural
experiences free of charge to young people after school, during holiday breaks, and in
the summer. While six of these programs are located in schools within our community
board, most are either limited to providing services only to the students of the host school,
or offer only specialized programs to a specific age group of young people. Although we
are appreciative of any additional youth programs in our board, there is still a large gap in
services for our youth population.
These programs do not provide regular evening or weekend services, nor do they offer
multi-generational programs to address the needs of the entire family. Young people are
not completely autonomous, and their actions and needs are frequently reflective of their
family’s actions and needs. A child who is struggling in school and cannot obtain the nec-
essary help at home because of the limited English or literacy skills of the parents, cannot
easily overcome the academic obstacles in his path through a program designed to help
only the youngster. An adolescent who is exhibiting at-risk behavior cannot be effectively
treated unless the parents and family members also are engaged in counseling, parent-
ing skills workshops, and support groups.
Our community desperately needs to embrace a more comprehensive approach to youth

services through the establishment of a Community Center or Beacon Program, where
multi-faceted programs and services for children of all ages, and for adults, could be of-
fered year-round, during the daytime, in the evenings, on the weekends and holidays, and
throughout the summer.

STATEMENT OF DISTRICT NEEDS - FISCAL YEAR 2010
PROFILE
Community Board #3 serves the neighborhoods of North Corona, East Elmhurst and
Jackson Heights. The composition of the district is very diverse with residents from every
national, religious and ethnic background.
Population
The 2000 census indicates that our population is 169,000, an increase of approximately
32% since 1990. CB#3 has the largest population increase in the entire city. We specu-
late that our numbers are higher--closer to 200,000. Our community was severely under-
counted. Over 40,000 new residents have settled in the Board area, yet, the allocation of
uniformed services has relatively remained the same.
The District’s land area is 2.8 square miles and is serviced by the 115th Police Precinct;
Sanitation Queens West 3; Fire Engine Company 307/Ladder 154 and Engine Company
316; 11 Public schools; 11 private and parochial schools; 2 post secondary degree grant-
ing institutions; 4 public libraries; 1 private library; 10 HRA day care/ head start facilities;
11 known mental health facilities; children’s group homes operated by Catholic Charities
and Human Resources Administration; 9 park/playgrounds; 1 vest pocket park; 7 sitting
areas; 8 park strips; Fisher Pool, and the Flushing Bay promenade.
While there are three distinct neighborhoods, we are all working towards a common goal
to improve the quality of life for our families and community.
The housing stock is very diversified, encompassing remarkably unified, coherent brick
apartment houses and Tudor style row and two-family homes. Some of the finest, archi-
tecturally distinctive dwellings in Queens County and the City can be found in Community
Board #3, particularly in East Elmhurst and the Jackson Heights neighborhoods. Just
45
to mention a few notable sites located within the Board is the Jackson Heights Historic
District, America’s first planned “garden city” and the Louis Armstrong House/Museum, a
national landmark in North Corona.
There are a number of lengthy commercial corridors in the District catering to the needs
of a full range of resident ethnic groups: Roosevelt Avenue on the southern boundary of
the District (shared with Community Board #2 and #4); Astoria Boulevard on the northern
boundary; 37th Avenue and Northern Boulevard running through the breadth of the Dis-
trict’s residential neighborhoods of Jackson Heights / North Corona and the 74th Street,
82nd Street, 90th Street, Junction Boulevard, 103rd Street retail strips.
The District lies in the shadow of LaGuardia Airport, where some of its residents are employed.
Airport related uses along a portion of its northernmost street, Ditmars Boulevard, are obvious
with the presence of hotels such as the Garden Hotel, the Marriott Hotel, the Holiday Inn Crowne
Plaza, the Quality Hotel, and on the GCP, the Marriott Courtyard Hotel. National Car Rental also
maintains a major facility and the Vaughn College--School of Aeronautics is located in the vicinity.
Minor industrial activity is also concentrated in the northern sector of the District, close
to the Grand Central Parkway and LaGuardia Airport. The District’s showplaces within
the M-1 zone is the Bulova Corporate Center, Home Depot and Bed, Bath and Beyond.
Nearby is Flushing Meadow Corona Park, CitiField New York Mets, USTA and Willets
Point, a stone’s throw from our borders.
What follows are Community Board #3’s recommendations and requests for action.
BANKING
There is a critical shortage of banking services within the District, particularly north of
Northern Boulevard. The majority of the banking outlets are congregated in the southern
portion of the district in Jackson Heights from 74th to 89th Streets with only a few facili-
ties located in North Corona and East Elmhurst. While we are pleased to see that new
banking services have increased over the years, the areas that are sorely deficient, their
needs have not been met. Particularly in the present economy, banks must meet their
responsibility as members of this community, through the Community Investment Act, to
aggressively reach out and market low interest loans. They must be encouraged to in-
vest and provide banking facilities for merchants and residents in North Corona and East
Elmhurst, north of Northern Boulevard our most underserved neighborhoods.
DAY CARE
Affordable and quality day care services should be made available for our children during
the most important development years of their lives. In CB #3, there is a severe shortage
of facilities. Our children deserve stabilized and nurturing environments that are condu-
cive to learning and foster healthy development. While a new day care center is currently
under construction, additional programs and facilities are still desperately needed.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
One of the defining characteristics of Community Board #3 is its rapidly changing demo-
graphic profile. During the past thirty years, our community has experienced significant
out-flows of population. This hemorrhaging of population and the negative consequences
for the overall economic health of the community has been offset by the influx of new im-
46
migrant populations. Many of these new ethnic groups have added to the total mix of busi-
ness establishments by initiating a wide-range of commercial start-ups. As such, these
new entrepreneurs, in concert with other small businesspersons, have preserved the eco-
nomic viability and long-term stability of the larger community. In effect, these small family-
based businesses have expanded the local tax base, generated the rapid growth of local
labor markets, and revitalized the wide-range of commercial corridors found throughout
Community Board #3. Moreover, this largely spontaneous mode of economic development
has been carried out by entrepreneurs who seriously lack adequate access to technical
business resources, formalized capital markets and knowledge of City regulations.
73rd Street: has rapidly developed over the years and has become a thriving Bangla-
deshi commercial area. While there is a merchants association in place, the following
recommendations will help to make the area more successful:
1. Install muni-meters from 37th Avenue to Broadway

2. Regulate delivery times- schedule for off-peak hours
3. Increase sanitation pick up, hire the services of the Doe Fund
4. Seek assistance from City Agencies to improve sanitary conditions
74th Street: This commercial corridor has developed into a well known shopping and
dining area as a result of the dynamic growth of West Asian entrepreneurial activity. In
effect, this corridor has a well-defined ethnic and commercial identity that could be further
developed. The following strategies are proposed for the 74th Street corridor:
1. Improve sanitary conditions

2. Enforce traffic regulations.
3. Increase police/traffic enforcement in the area of 72nd to 75th Streets;
37th Road to 35th Avenues in order to better move traffic and to reduce noise
and air pollution.
4. DOT should modify parking regulations and employ muni-meters.
82nd Street: The 82nd Street Business Improvement District (BID) is the only public/
private partnership of its type in CB #3. Therefore, it would be worthwhile to use this BID
as a model for other commercial corridors in Board #3. Expand the vending restriction on
this block to include Sundays.
90th Street: While this is the smallest of Community Board #3’s commercial corridors,
this strip requires assistance and planning to make it a viable entity. Its economic viability
is essential to the health of the immediate adjacent residential properties. It should be
incorporated into the planned upgrade of Roosevelt Avenue.
Junction Boulevard:
1. Establish a strong, active Merchants Association.
2. Improve sanitary conditions and enforcement.
3. Improve traffic enforcement on Junction Boulevard (between Northern
Boulevard and Roosevelt Avenue).
4. Address the issue of informal street vending as well as enforcement.
103rd Street:
1. The Corona Business Corporation, a local organization of immigrant entrepre-
47
-neurs, is proposing that parking for the customers of 37th Avenue to Roosevelt
Avenue is developed.
2. Establish a strong, active Merchants Association to meet the specific needs
of the rapidly growing immigrant entrepreneurs.
3. Improve street lighting and business facades.
4. Improve sanitary conditions and enforcement
Roosevelt Avenue: Roosevelt Avenue is a dynamic and rapidly growing commercial strip.
Most, if not all, of the business people on Roosevelt Avenue are immigrants. Therefore, it
is imperative that any economic development initiatives proposed for this strip should be
formulated to meet the specific commercial, technical, and language needs of these multi-
ethnic immigrant entrepreneurs. There is a need to establish a Business Improvement Dis-
trict and local Merchant’s Association. Establish an “Economic Development Task Force”
to survey the emerging economic needs of this multi-ethnic commercial corridor; from 69th
Street to 114th Streets. Improve commercial facades, street lighting and police security.
37th Avenue: Thirty-Seventh Avenue has professional offices providing medical, real es-
tate and legal services. It is a neighborhood strip with restaurants serving international
cuisine that caters to the local community. The portion from Junction Boulevard to 114th
Street badly needs revitalization, including the upgrading of roadbeds and curbs. There is a
need to establish strong, active Merchants Associations from Jackson Heights to Corona.
Northern Boulevard: The commercial area between 69th and 90th Streets is mostly
geared towards automotive needs with car dealerships, auto parts, repair facilities, fast
food and sit- down restaurants. This “strip development” is characterized by establishments
that cater to traffic-based consumption. Northern Boulevard between 94th to 114th streets
contains many uses that are inappropriate. A new study and analysis of Northern Boule-
vard should include re-evaluation of all uses and development to provide needed services
such as supermarkets, drug stores and banks. The commercial uses off the Boulevard into
residential areas contain many illegal auto sales lots, illegal auto repair, tire shops and il-
legal nightclubs in the mid 80(s). Economic development initiatives should be targeted to
the area between 94th to 114th streets. Historically this section of the commercial strip has
received less economic and technical resources than other portions of Northern Boulevard.
Moreover, this would balance the commercial viability of Northern Boulevard as it traverses
through CB #3. Facade improvement and increased sanitation pick-up would serve to up-
grade the image of this commercial strip. The Northern Boulevard Task Force should be
expanded to increase its prospective impact on the economic development of this strip.
The Langston Hughes Library is providing stability for the Corona portion of Northern Boulevard.
Both the library and the Elmcor facility could serve as anchors for prospective economic develop-
ment initiatives in this area. The site of the original Langston Hughes Library, located between
102nd-103rd Streets on Northern Boulevard, is strategically located in the center of the Corona
commercial district and should be evaluated for its future commercial potential. Any prospective
commercial development, along this portion of the strip, should encourage a more diversified busi-
ness mix that would meet the everyday needs of the residents in the immediate catchment area.
There is a need to establish a strong, active Merchants Association on Northern Boulevard.
Astoria Boulevard
1. Improve business facades and lighting.
2. Increase police presence for security purposes.
48
3. Traffic enforcement is needed to discourage “U” turns. Left-turn signals should
be installed.
4. The entire commercial strip needs revitalization. Every business must comply
with the C. of O. and building codes. Enforcement must be the same for every
residential and commercial establishment throughout the District.
5. There is a need for a strong, active Merchants Association.
DEPARTMENT OF BUILDINGS
Buildings/Zoning
A study and analysis of residential development in Jackson Heights, East Elmhurst, and
North Corona must be conducted towards a view to maintain the low-density status of
these neighborhoods. Traditionally, East Elmhurst, North Corona and certain sections
of Jackson Heights have always been comprised of one and two-family homes, with the
exception of the co-op areas. In recent years, however, developers have systematically
converted these homes into multiple dwellings. A serious review of the zoning regulations
is in order. There are two separate studies currently under review by City Planning, North
Corona 2 and a study commissioned by Councilwoman Helen Sears for the lower part of
Jackson Heights. To effectively address the community’s zoning concerns a district wide
study that would also take in the neighborhoods located north of Northern Boulevard.
City Planning, Department of Buildings, let’s work together to ensure that the residential
character of these sections of the district are preserved.
Department of Buildings and New York State DEC - Soil Remediation for Former Gas
Stations
In recent years, there has been a proliferation of gas stations converting into residential facili-
ties. It has been our experience that when these conversions occur not all former gas stations
file for the necessary permits with the DEC for inspection and soil remediation. Currently there
is no mechanism in place at the Department of Buildings to alert New York State DEC that
a former gasoline station has filed for permits to change its use to residential occupancy. All
parties involved must look at developing a system that will help to easily identify these conver-
sions so that the owner can be directed to the proper authorities; NYSDEC and NYCDEP.
EDUCATION
In Community Board #3, our children are our highest priority.They have high expectations
and we have high expectations of them. Their lives will be filled with challenges; many
of them brought on by a never-ending cascade of new technologies. Among their tasks
will be to know which to use, and which to reject. We must provide them with a rounded
education that teaches the basics as well as wisdom in these matters.
We have 11 operating public schools, 3 private and 7 parochial schools. There are currently 9
elementary schools, Public Schools 69, 92, 127, 143, 148,149, 212, 222 and 228 which feed
into intermediate school, I. S. 145 and I. S. 230 all are operating at full capacity. The College
of Aeronautics as well as the Lexington School for the Deaf is located in the District.
Our public schools remain overcrowded during the traditional school hours; however, after
3 p.m. they are severely underutilized overall. Although some new classrooms have been
added, our children attend huge schools with too many children in each class. Census
49
projections indicate more overcrowding is on the horizon. At the same time, our schools
are barely used after the 8am–3pm period. We would like to see them offer working
parents the opportunity to drop off their children at 7 a.m., with a healthy breakfast avail-
able. Schools should remain open until l0 p.m. and offer a variety of activities; parenting
classes, ESL, GED, cross age tutoring, sports, and cultural programs. These activities
should be offered by the Board of Education and/or community based organizations.
Where possible, these programs should be planned and staffed locally. Programs should
also be available during the summer months.
While two Pre-K facilities were recently constructed in our District, they are already over-
crowded. Space must be found immediately for Pre-K, so that they no longer further
burden our school infrastructure.
We Need A High School

We have no high school in our District and the ones zoned for our children are severely
overcrowded. While there is a proposal to construct an additional intermediate and pri-
mary schools at Willets Points, there no plans on the horizon for a high school. Although,
CB#3 is primarily fully developed there is one parcel of land that could be developed for a
high school, the former Standard Box Company. We request that the Board of Education
look at this location for a potential high school site.
Our overcrowded primary and intermediate schools feed into severely overcrowded high
schools, none of which is in the District. We need a local high school, as well as elementary
and intermediate schools. If these schools were available today, every seat would be filled.
An appropriate level of funding for school repair and maintenance of the District’s schools
must be provided. Regular maintenance not only maintains a proper school environment
but also lessens the need for costly capital expenditures.
In today’s complex society, where most children come from homes where parent(s) work
full time, mechanisms must be put in place to allow them the opportunity to fully support
their children’s education. State-of-the-art communications technology should be made
available for the benefit of parents, students and the school staff. Our children deserve
only the very best. A first class education entails reducing the class room size from 32 to
20 students, introducing a foreign language in first grade, advanced math, science, geog-
raphy, history, civics and a lap top for every child to take home.
Provide Funding for the Implementation of the Army Corp of Engineers Recom-
mendations for FLUSHING BAY
The environmental studies and recommendations on the ecological decline of Flushing

Bay must be acted upon expeditiously to improve the quality of water in Flushing Bay.
Implement total breakwater removal; channel modifications; dredge the inner-bay; creek
and restore the wetlands. Bring Flushing Bay back to Pre-World’s Fair (1964) condition,
which would be conducive for the return of wildlife and the wetlands.
Air Pollution
We are concerned about the impact fumes emitted from motor vehicles and airplanes
50
have on our community. Community Board #3 requests air pollution testing and enforce-
ment of the air and noise codes.
Noise – Horn Honking

We call upon D.E.P. and the Police Department to monitor and mitigate the excessive
horn-honking emanating from cars, trucks and buses that invade our environment.
Constituents residing in and near commercial districts are inundated with horn honking at
all hours of the day and night. Include C.B. #3 in the “Silent Night” operation.
Sewer/ Catch Basin Cleaning/ Repairs/Replacement

District-wide residents have reported an increase of sewer back-ups during heavy rains.
An assessment of the condition of sewer pipes and catch basins must be conducted. De-
fective equipment should be replaced as soon as possible. A regular repair and cleaning
schedule must be set up and maintained in order to avoid costly emergency repairs.
Fund Study for a Separate Sewer System

Our population has increased significantly since the 2000 census. Neighborhoods that
were once comprised of one and two family homes have been replaced with multiple units
accommodating six to ten families. The aforementioned changes have placed a great
demand on our sewer system and are reflected by the increase of flooding and sewer
back-up complaints. Prior to 1996, constituents residing in East Elmhurst north of North-
ern Boulevard reported the majority of flooding and sewer back-up complaints. Sewer
back-up conditions are no longer confined to East Elmhurst; we are receiving complaints
from all over the District including areas where the problem did not exist before. A study
and upgrade of our sewer system is urgently needed.
HEALTH DEPARTMENT
Increase Outreach and Services to the Uninsured, Underinsured, Immigrants and

Undocumented
We ask that DOH expand its outreach and services to the uninsured, underinsured, im-
migrant and undocumented. These populations do not have access to traditional medical
services and are reliant upon free medical screenings (dental, TB, pediatric clinics), in-
oculations and information provided by our local health center. Increase; do not decrease
important life saving services to our most vulnerable at-risk populations.
Rodent Infestation
We request urgent attention from the Department of Health to address the out of control infes-
tation of rodents within business districts and neighboring residences bordering commercial
areas. Particular attention must be given to 68th, 69th, 70th 71st, 72nd, 73rd, and 74th from
Roosevelt Avenue to the BQE. Needed services are not limited to the aforementioned areas
but throughout the community. Regular inspection, baiting and working with businesses and
property owners is a sure way of reducing the rodent population within the district.
HOUSING
Foreclosures and Intervention

The impact of the sluggish economy on our community is reflected in the increase of
51
mortgage foreclosures within the district. What’s needed are anti-foreclosure programs,
our residents need assistance in keeping their homes and to prevent destabilization of
our neighborhoods both for single family and multiple units.
Illegal Conversions
Illegal conversions are a reflection of the need for affordable housing. City, State and Federal
governments need to develop strategies and programs to alleviate this pressing problem.
Senior Housing
A population of seniors, who might retire to other locales, has opted to stay put in the
neighborhood and desperately need neighborhood based affordable residences with
amenities suitable to their needs. There is only one senior facility within the district and
there is a tremendous waiting list. We are in desperate need of additional facilities.
Serious discussions and policy should be developed that allows a senior to downsize his/
her apartment without losing SCRIE benefits (while living in the same building or close
location) thus freeing up a larger rent-regulated legal apartment.
We need the assistance of a community-based office located within our district such as
HPD and NSP to educate landlord/tenants of their rights and responsibilities and assis-
tance available to them.
HUMAN RESOURCES ADMINISTRATION
Senior Services/ HRA and DFTA
The elderly population continues to increase and need additional care. Home care, es-
cort services, transportation, mental health services and meal funding must be increased,
not decreased. Please keep in place the option for the frozen and hot meal service. Our
seniors deserve only the best. In this respect, all efforts must be made to ensure related
agencies are better coordinated to provide supplemental and required services to seniors.
La Guardia Airport
While one of the positive effects of LaGuardia Airport is the employment factor, it has many
negative aspects on the surrounding neighborhoods, such as noise, traffic congestion, air pol-
lution and the pollution of Flushing Bay. Further expansion of the airport to the east should not
be permitted as it poses safety, health and environmental hazards. A methodology must be
developed whereby the Bay and the surrounding residential neighborhoods are protected.
Less noisy planes, no engine repair and run ups between midnight and 6:30 a.m., limited air
cargo expansion, diversion of heavy truck traffic servicing the airport off our residential streets
as well as passenger vehicles, must be vigorously pursued by both the Port Authority of New
York and New Jersey and elected officials. There have been many studies on each of these
concerns. A genuine effort must be made to ensure a healthy environment for our residents.
Port Authority Funds
We are quite disappointed to learn that of the $ 39. 5 Million just allocated, very little will
come to Community Board #3. Despite the fact that LaGuardia Airport literally sits in our
backyard; only a tiny fraction of the funds have been earmarked for our District.
52
In doing a cursory review of the current allocations, much of the funds have gone to JFK,
Jamaica Air Train, Willets Point, Streetscape and Traffic Improvements (Rockaway Blvd.),
Lighting Improvements (CB#4), Greening Improvements (Rockaway, Springfield Blvds.) just
to mention a few. Community Board #3 could definitely benefit from all of the aforementioned
improvements and must be included in these projects.
To recap, we request that a health study be commissioned and a plan developed to remediate
the ill affects of pollution resulting from the operation of LaGuardia Airport. Power-wash the
homes located in Astoria Heights, Jackson Heights and East Elmhurst to eliminate the years
of debris that emanate from airplanes. We request sound attenuation; abatement of air pol-
lution / asthma studies, tree planting and the construction of a separate system to address
flooding and sewer back- up conditions in East Elmhurst and through-out the district .
LIBRARIES
In order to serve the needs of our community, the expansion of services is urgently need-
ed. Local libraries must be given the authority to determine their hours and days of op-
erations. Library Administrators know, first hand, the needs of the community and the
schedules that are best suited for their customers. We request the following:
Keep Libraries Open 7 Days A Week

CB#3 libraries are heavily utilized, the current 6 day a week schedule does not meet our
needs. Provide funds to all libraries to restore seven day a week full-time service.
Expand East Elmhurst Library

While the acquisition process started nearly two years ago, the Community is anxious to see
the project move to the next level, construction. The East Elmhurst Library is heavily utilized
and requires expansion. The library runs programs during the evenings and weekends, as
well as a Latch Key Program year round. The After School Program addresses the needs of
children of working parents for supervised activities in a safe and nurturing environment. To
better serve the needs of the community, the Library requires additional shelving for books,
storage for equipment and seating to accommodate its ever-growing number of patrons.
Expand Capacity of the Jackson Heights Library

The Jackson Heights Branch is the most heavily utilized library facility in Northwest
Queens. Fully fund the construction of a new facility at the current JHS Library site. A
new facility might serve to reduce overcrowding.
Construct Library in Northwest Sector of CD #3

The residents in this portion of the District are sorely lacking library facilities. There is
an area in the Jackson Heights Shopping Center located at 75th Street and 31st Avenue
where a structure could possibly be built.
PARKS / RECREATION
The number of recreational facilities that are available to all residents of the District is very limited.
Increase Parks and Recreation Personnel in CD #3
The District is sorely in need of additional parks personnel – currently on board is two
53
maintenance workers and three playground associates. In order to effectively manage
C.B. #3’s playgrounds and parks, staffing levels must be increased.
Fund The Upgrade of the Base Ball Field Located at 78th Street and 25th Avenue
The baseball field is used by our little leagues but urgently require an upgrade; including
the installation of a fence and water fountain. There is a severe shortage on recreational
space in CB#3. All of our neighborhood parks are fully utilized and there are very few
locations where our young people can play. Parks Department estimates that it will cost
approximately $750,000 to make basic improvements.
Increase Forestry Division Budget to $500,000. Per annum to address dead trees, stumps,
pruning and planting requests.
An annual commitment of $500,000. for each Community Board is necessary to effec-

tively address the backlog of complaints for tree pruning, removal of fallen limbs, dead
trees, stumps and planting.
POLICE
Staffing Levels
Increase civilian and uniformed personnel at the 115th Precinct. Our population has in-
creased by more than 32% but the allocation of police personnel has remained the same.
In order to effectively meet the needs of the community, additional officers and civilian
personnel are required.
Operation Impact
We request that Operation Impact be continued; the program is making a significant difference
in the safety and quality of life of constituents residing on and around Roosevelt Avenue.
Operation Silent Night

Include Community Board #3 in Operation Silent Night. Noise is generated at all hours
of the day and night by cars, trucks and buses honking horns. Motorists idling engines,
loud music emanating from nightclubs and bars must be addressed. Noise is the number
one complaint in our district.
CPOP
The Community Policing Officer Program must be reinstated and expanded. The presence of
the beat officer has always proven to be an effective deterrent to criminal activity. Additional
traffic enforcement staff is also needed in order to reduce the number of traffic violations.
School Crossing Guards

There is a tremendous need for crossing guards in C.B. #3. Many of our schools are
located near major thoroughfares. Provisions must be made to ensure the safety of stu-
dents attending both public and private schools.
Increase Funding To The Police Department and Consumer Affairs to Address Illegal
Street Vending /Peddling
Over the years, illegal street vending has risen to the top most reported condition within
the district. Any day of the week and particularly on weekends, our streets are crowded
54
will illegal street vendors. Residents report that it is nearly impossible to navigate their way
through our local streets. While the Police Department and Consumer Affairs do the very best
that, they can to address illegal street vending; additional resources and staffing must be
made available to them. Funding for weekend and late night inspections is sorely needed.
SANITATION
Personnel
Since 1990 our population has increased by 40, 000, staffing levels for QW3 should,
therefore, be re-evaluated. Additional personnel and resources must be made available
to effectively address the needs of the community.
Increase personnel at QW3, including enforcement agents and Sanitation Police.
Increase Daily Litter Basket Collections

Increase daily litter basket collections in C.B. #3, in order to improve the level of cleanli-
ness throughout the District. Litter baskets located in commercial areas and where there
is heavy pedestrian traffic fill quickly and require frequent attention. While local merchants
participate in the Adopt-A- Basket program they cannot keep up with the constant over-
flowing conditions caused by residents and merchants improperly using the baskets. The
current collection schedule is not sufficient and therefore requires additional basket ser-
vice throughout the business day. Special attention must be given to the 73 , 74th Street
shopping district, 37th Avenue; Junction Boulevard; 82nd Street; Roosevelt Avenue; 90th
Street, 103rd Street, Northern Boulevard and Section 33 in North Corona.
Education
A movement to educate / re-educate our residents on their responsibility is in order. Sani-
tation must launch a campaign to reach people in their language to spread the word about
sanitation regulations.
Supermarkets
The Community is growing rapidly with new residential construction going up everyday, ancil-
lary services such as supermarkets, bookstores and libraries are sorely missing. Over the
years, our neighborhood supermarkets have been systemically replaced with pharmacies.
Our seniors must travel a great distance to do the day to day shopping. It is impossible for
them to take the car to go to the shopping center due to heavy traffic and limited parking.
Public transportation is not option for many of our seniors. We need more neighborhood su-
permarkets, bakeries, bookstores and coffee shops particularly north of Northern Boulevard.
TRANSPORTATION
District Wide Traffic Study

Thirty-seventh Avenue, Broadway, Junction Boulevard, Roosevelt Avenue, our streets are too
narrow to handle the volume of traffic that passes through. A comprehensive study to examine
pedestrian, vehicular and parking patterns throughout the entire District is required. The assess-
ment will assist us in developing a plan to effectively manage conditions on our streets.
Air Pollution
Currently approximately 23 million people drive passenger vehicles to the airport through
our community each year. We are concerned about the impact of fumes emitted from
55
motor vehicles into our community. Many children residing in CB#3 suffer from asthma,
the third most chronic disease in the nation. This community urgently needs air pollution
testing and air monitors installed within our District.
Street Resurfacing/ Reconstruction

Due to several years of neglect, many of our streets present hazardous conditions. The
following locations require urgent attention: 104th Street from 34th to Roosevelt Avenues,
103rd Street from 34th to Roosevelt Avenues, 39th Avenue, 37th Avenue from 104th
Street to Junction Boulevard, 35th Avenue from 105th to Junction Boulevard.
Install Traffic Lights– 97th and 100th Streets and 23 Avenue

Twenty-Third Avenue has become a virtual raceway with cars and motor scooters speed-
ing down residential streets. There are no traffic control devices currently in place at
these locations to ensure the safety of both pedestrians and motorists; serious consider-
ation must be given to installing traffic lights at these intersections.
MTA
Street Lights / Roosevelt Avenue / #7 Subway Line

The installation of additional lighting along Roosevelt Avenue will provide a safe environ-
ment for shoppers after dusk. The improved lighting will greatly diminish the crime pat-
tern currently existing.
Express Bus Service -- 94th to 114th Streets from Roosevelt Avenue

to Ditmars Boulevard
There is no express bus serving Northern Boulevard between 94th and 114th and Astoria
Boulevard between 94th and 108th Streets. Express Bus service must be made available
to constituents residing in this area. The MTA must be made aware that this section of the
district has been greatly under-served.
#7 Line – Paint The El

The MTA made a commitment several years ago that the “EL” would be painted from 69th
Street to 114th Streets. To date, the MTA has not made good on their promise. The El is
unsightly and urgently needs a paint job.
Escalators
The escalators at the 74th Subway Station break down at least twice daily. We request
that the MTA seriously look at replacing or upgrading the equipment, we need escalators
that are engineered to handle high volumes of traffic and can operate 24 hours a day / 7
days a week without fail.
YOUTH SERVICES
The Youth Services Planning Committee has identified the needs and priorities of the
youth in our District. Prime in this regard, is to provide expanded recreation and leisure
time activities seven days a week, year-round. Public buildings must be made available
for day and evening programs. Opening fees and space costs for youth programs should
be eliminated. The need to open school buildings in Community Board #3 is particularly
acute as the District is almost devoid of open spaces/recreational facilities. Funding for
56
summer and year round youth employment is another critical concern of our community.
We urgently need creative, meaningful programs to ensure that our youth will become
responsible and productive adults of tomorrow. Employment, training, and recreational
programs, play an essential role in the lives of many of our youth. It is imperative that
funding for these programs be restored.
We request our fair share of Youth Services dollars. In addition, we are concerned about
the way Youth Services screens / evaluates RFP’s. The agency recently adopted a policy in
which only three members of the Community Board are permitted to evaluate RFP’s. Screen-
ing members are not permitted to discuss or share information with other Youth Service Com-
mittee members or Board members. This practice is foreign from the way that our Board
conducts its business. We request that Youth Services re-evaluate the screening process.
Community Boards
Proposed Budget Cuts
The proposed budget cuts will have a devastating affect on the operations of Community
Boards. Community Boards are already understaffed, under funded and have always
worked with less even during times of prosperity. The projected $20,000 reduction will
certainly result in losing at least one staff person. Because of the downturn in the econ-
omy, we are already seeing an increase in social service, landlord /tenant and senior
service complaints and inquiries. . We need every staff member; our workload is in fact
increasing and a reduction cannot be afforded.
Our meager budgets cannot sustain the proposed cuts. Community Boards run on a shoe-
string budget of $199,000 per year, which includes personnel and other operational costs.
It is widely known that Community Boards were left financially behind in the mid 1990(s),
when our budgets were reduced by $28,000. The full amount of those reductions was
never restored. Further, we have never received a cost of living adjustment to our base
budget and the cost of postage, supplies, equipment and other operational requirements
continues to rise. The impending reductions will severely incapacitate our operations and
hamper our ability to provide essential services to our local communities.
We ask the Mayor, elected officials and OMB to work with Community Boards in finding
alternative solutions to address the City’s budgetary short falls.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the neighborhoods of North Corona, East Elmhurst and Jackson Heights,
more than 200,000 residents, require a fully funded Community Board, the services of all
the City agencies and elected officials, working together, to ensure the continued success
of Community Board 3.

Director of Community Boards
STATEMENT OF COMMUNITY DISTRICT NEEDS

FISCAL YEAR 2010
Community Board # 4Q is an ethnically diverse area that encompasses the communities of Corona,
Corona Heights, and Elmhurst. The total land area of Community Board # 4Q is 2.4 square miles,
bounded by Roosevelt Avenue to the North, Flushing Meadow Corona Park to the East, Horace
Harding Expressway to the South, and New York Connecting Railroad to the West.
According to the 2000 Census the population of CB #4Q is 167,005 a 21.9% increase from the 1990 Cen-
sus. With the steady growth in population over the past eighteen years and the vast amount of new building
permits issued, the actual population count may be approaching or surpassing the 200,000 mark. Service
levels are based in part on Census information. In order to provide adequate service to the residents of CB
# 4Q, service agency budgets must be increased to keep pace with our growing population.
Older housing stock, which consists mainly of one and two family homes are being demolished
and replaced with new buildings that house three, four, and in some instances more residential
units on the same site where one or two families once resided. The current levels of service and
infrastructure can no longer absorb the additional housing units. In order to secure the future stabil-
ity of CB #4Q, careful consideration must be given to the rezoning of our community. Our youth
population is being short changed, schools are overcrowded, after school programs are limited,
and libraries are used beyond capacity. Children are the future of this country we must provide
them with all the resources necessary so that they can grow into responsible adults.
We will continue to advocate for a safe, affordable, and well balanced environment for our residents.
The following is a statement of needs and priorities focusing on improving the quality of life for all
of the residents in the Community Board #4Q district.
AGING
According to the population counts of the 2000 Census, 19.5% (32,600) of the residents in the CB
#4Q area are 45 to 64 years old and 8.3% (13,913) are 65 years and over. These numbers are sure
to be greater taking into account the steady growth in population witnessed in the CB #4Q area.
Senior citizens are in need of special services, such as meals on wheels, homecare, and help with
66
shopping and home cleaning. Our senior population is also in need of social activities and programs
that are supplied by senior citizen centers. Community Board # 4Q is in need of at least two addi-
tional senior centers, one to be located in the Corona Heights area and one to be located in the Lefrak
City area to address the needs of the current senior population and be prepared to address the needs
of the future senior population. With the vast wealth of life experiences that seniors have to offer they
could act as mentors to our youth in intergenerational programs. Let us not forget the caregivers. The
caregiver requires some relief from their daily responsibilities. An increase in services is necessary
for this segment of the population. The Department for the Aging must monitor all senior programs
to insure that the services provided are in the best interest of our senior population.
BUILDINGS
We thank the DOB for their help in resolving some of our building issues. However, while regula-
tions have changed and fines increased, the DOB must follow through on inspections and violations. In
order to perform inspections and enforcement in a professional and timely manner, the hiring of additional
qualified personnel is a necessity. New building permits should be issued only after it is determined that
the existing infrastructure can accommodate an increase in new housing units.
CITY PLANNING
Community Board # 4Q is being overdeveloped at an alarming rate. While we are not against prog-
ress, we question why our older housing stock, which consists of primarily one and two family
homes are being razed to make way for new buildings that are out of character with the existing
buildings in the neighborhood. Where once a one or two family home stood now stands a multiple
family dwelling with anywhere from three to fifteen and, in some cases, more units.
The infrastructure of CB #4Q was built mainly for low-density housing. The addition of housing
units places an undo strain on our infrastructure. As a result, streets are overcrowded with traffic,
leaving very limited parking. The Sanitation Department is overwhelmed with the increase in trash
generated by the new units. Police and Fire department response times are up due to the increase in
traffic clogging our roads. Schools and hospitals are stretched beyond capacity. Reports of flooding
and sewer backups are increasing.
Community Board #4Q is requesting that The Department of City Planning evaluate the current
zoning in CB #4Q. Identify residential areas in need of down zoning and areas where affordable
housing can be built must be identified. New zoning regulations must include off-street parking
provisions for each unit built.
The development along the commercial strip of Queens Boulevard needs close attention. Existing
commercial one story buildings are being replaced with high density buildings. A planned balance
between residential and commercial buildings along the boulevard is necessary so Queens Boule-
vard does not end up being a boulevard of haphazardly placed buildings.
We look forward to working with DCP to achieve the above goals.
EDUCATION
Although New York City as a whole will experience a downward trend in school enrollment in the
next ten years, the school district encompassing CB # 4Q will see an upward trend in enrollment.
Schools can not be built fast enough. We look forward to the completion of PS/IS 260 and the de-
sign and construction of the Art and Leather Building, a proposed 1,600-seat school in Elmhurst.
67
We will continue to support the Department of Education and the School Construction Authority
in their efforts to identify additional new sites for schools.
An aggressive campaign to upgrade the water delivery and sewer system needs to be undertaken to
address the additional demands placed on the system due to the overbuilding of our community.
From the time a request for service for a collapsed and/or broken catch basin is logged to the time
the actual repair is performed needs to be shortened. Additional inspectors and repair crews are
necessary to relieve the back log of service requests.
Queens Boulevard from the Long Island Expressway to the CSX Line has experienced an inordi-
nate amount of development. High rise commercial and residential developments have replaced
the typical low rise development along Queens Boulevard and many new high rise developments
are in the planning stages. Business owners, residents, and St. Johns Queens Hospital have re-
ported flooding that is progressively worsening each year. The sewer drainage system currently in
place is not able to process the demand placed on it. A complete study, reconstruction, and upgrade
of the existing sewer infrastructure should be implemented. Our residents, business owners, and
hospital must be relieved of the stress and economic loss caused by the constant flooding.
Junction Boulevard from the Long Island Expressway to Roosevelt Avenue, 57th Avenue from Queens
Boulevard to 99th Street, Horace Harding Expressway from 108th Street to Queens Boulevard. The above
areas flood on a routine basis, which is progressively worsening each year, especially in the Lefrak City
area (Junction Boulevard, W/B Horace Harding Expressway, 99th Street, and 57th Avenue). A complete
study, reconstruction, and upgrade of the existing sewer infrastructure should be implemented.
111th Street from Corona Avenue to Roosevelt Avenue: Numerous reports of flooding from resi-
dents along 111th Street with flooding conditions worsening every year. A complete study, recon-
struction, and upgrade of the existing sewer infrastructure should be implemented.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
A budget increase for the Fire Department is necessary to meet the additional demands placed on
our fire companies. The Fire Safety Education Outreach program provides valuable information
on fire safety to our residents. This program must be maintained and funding for the purchase of
additional Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detectors for distribution to the public should
be provided. FDNY should be part of a task force with DOB, NYPD, and DOH that investigates
illegal occupancies and unsafe building conditions.
HEALTH & MENTAL HYGIENE
The department is doing the best it can with the limited resources allocated to it. Complaints concern-
ing food vendors and rodent infestations are escalating. While we thank the agency for your help,
additional personnel are needed to maintain consistent levels of inspections. We support the continu-
ation and enhancement of programs that address the health needs of our growing population.
LIBRARY
CB #4Q is one of the most ethnically diverse areas in the country. Library budgets must reflect the
68
growing demand of this diverse population. We will continue to support the expansion of operating
hours necessary to accommodate the needs of the public. We will continue to support the rebuilding
and expansion of the Elmhurst Branch. CB #4Q requests construction of a new reference library in
the vicinity of 108th Street and Corona Avenue, which will help service the South East portion of
CB #4Q which is currently lacking Library services.
PARKS AND RECREATION
Trees are a vital component of our environment. Maintain the recently approved seven year pruning
cycle and restore pruner and climber positions to the DPR. Additional Funds are needed in order
to reduce the pruning cycle to five years. A five year pruning cycle will produce stronger, healthier,
and better looking trees. CB #4Q receives many complaints of dead and/or diseased trees, branches
breaking, and branches that are low to the ground forcing pedestrians to walk around the trees.
Tree pruning needs to increase, with an emphasis on emergency service. We support an increase in
DPR’s budget to allow for a five-year pruning cycle.
We look forward to the final design, construction, and completion of the new Elmhurst Park on the
former site of the Keyspan Gas Tanks and the Corona Golf Playground (ID # Q450). A number of
the parks in the CB #4Q area are, also, in need of re-design and renovation including, but not lim-
ited to, Veterans Grove (ID #Q013) and Newtown Playground (ID #Q041).
We will continue to support the completion of the renovations to the five remaining Center Islands located
on 111th street between 45th Avenue and Corona Avenue, in front of Flushing Meadows Corona Park.
The US OPEN at the USTA National Tennis Center and NY MET’S baseball games at Shea Sta-
dium, soon to be Citifield, need to be coordinated. There should not be any home games scheduled
for the NY MET’S when the US OPEN is at The USTA National Tennis Center. The surrounding
communities can not absorb the traffic impact of the two events at the same time.
Obtain Property and Build Multi-Purpose Recreational Center. CB #4Q feels this type of facility is
needed to serve the ever expanding population. This facility would be able to serve all segments of
our ever growing population. Possible location: DPR property located at the N/E corner of 102nd
Street and Radcliff Avenue (Partial Block # 1932, Lot # 31)
POLICE DEPARTMENT
Currently the 110th Precinct is housed in an antiquated building with no facilities for parking of po-
lice vehicles. A new Precinct house along with adequate parking is a necessity; we will continue to
support the relocation and building of a new precinct house for the 110th Precinct, which should be
located as close as possible to the geographic center of Community Board #4Q. After the opening
of the new Precinct, the existing Precinct house could be utilized for NYPD special operations.
With the limited resources allotted to the 110th Precinct, the agency is doing a great job protecting
the public. The population of CB #4Q is growing daily, additional funding is necessary in order to
increase staffing levels in the 110th Precinct to keep pace with our ever-growing population.
The 110th Precinct is not coterminous with CB # 4Q; the precinct covers Willets Point (CB # 7Q)
and Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Flushing Meadows Corona Park is home to Shea Stadium,
soon to be Citifield, the USTA National Tennis Center, Queens Theater In The Park, The Hall of
Science, The Queens Zoo, The Queens Museum, and the Aquatic Center to name a few. The Park
69
is also host to many large cultural events and it is used by the residents of Queens on a daily ba-
sis, with weekends seeing the largest concentration of park visitors. In order to protect New York
City’s investment in this park permanent Police presence must be established to serve Flushing
Meadows-Corona Park and Willets Point exclusively.
SANITATION
DSNY is doing a great job cleaning our streets, removing trash, and snow, however DSNY must have
budget increases that reflect the increase in housing units in the CB #4Q area. Establish and or enhance
the education component for recycling. Many residents in CB #4Q do not understand the components
of recycling, residents should be educated in recycling regulations before being summoned. Night and
weekend Sanitation Police patrols are needed at to curtail illegal dumping and drop offs. An increase in
education and enforcement of DOS regulations on commercial streets should be addressed.
TAXI AND LIMOUSINE COMMISSION
While For-Hire Vehicles are necessary to fill the small gap not covered by public transportation,
CB #4Q is well served by train and bus lines. Community Board #4Q is saturated with For-Hire
Vehicles; they are everywhere competing for street hails. Street hails as they exist must be stopped;
they are a danger to the passenger and the public. Many of these driver’s constantly violate Vehicle
& Traffic Laws, cutting off other motorists, making illegal u-turns, going through Red Lights &
Stop Signs, and harassing other motorists, to name a few. We have witnessed drivers sleeping over-
night in their vehicles, and throwing trash out of their vehicles onto our streets. These actions must
cease, enforcement must be consistent and enhanced. Yellow Cab service is almost non-existent in
Queens. If FHV’s cannot or will not abide by TLC and NYS Department of Motor Vehicles regula-
tions, perhaps incentives could be given to Yellow cabs to stay and work in Queens.
TRANSPORTATION
Due to the rapid increase in population CB #4Q is experiencing comes an increase in traffic. Staff
increases are necessary to keep pace with the repair requests generated by our heavily used road-
ways. Increase and maintain funding for the curb and sidewalk replacement program. Increase
Staff for Roadway Maintenance (reconstruction and pothole crews).
Reconstruction of Streets:
41st Avenue from 72nd Street to Broadway including 78th Street, 79th Street, & 80th Street from 41st Avenue
to Roosevelt Avenue are in need of reconstruction.Reconstruct streets bounded by 57 Avenue, Long Island
Railroad, Grand Ave. and Queens Blvd. Milling and repaving on Broadway from Queens Blvd. to Baxter
Avenue. Milling and repaving on Junction Boulevard from Horace Harding Expressway to 45th Avenue.
METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY (MTA)
Refurbish the #7 Line Structure. The elevated structure of the #7 line needs a complete overhaul.
Many areas of the structure are rusted and the paint is peeling. The 103rd Street and the 111th
Street stations need restoration of the entrance stairways, painting, better lighting, and security.
YOUTH AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
The 2000 Census states that within CB #4Q resides 38,770 (23.2 % of our population) children un-
der the age of 18 years. This reflects a 21.9 % increase in our youth population since the 1990 cen-
70
sus. The need for additional youth services, such as, After School Programs, ESL courses, Day Care
Centers, Intergenerational Programs, Graffiti Prevention, and Gang Activity Prevention has never
been greater. An increase in the budget for youth services is necessary to meet these additional de-
mands. Community Board input into the funding process for these programs must be re-established.
STATE LIQUOR AUTHORITY
While the State Liquor Authority is a New York State agency, an increase in enforcement of SLA
Regulations in New York City is a necessity. While additional investigators have been hired in FY
2009, additional investigators must be hired to address the growing demand for SLA licenses in
NYC. Currently any establishment that is applying for or renewing an on-premise liquor license
must notify Community Boards via Registered Mail Return Receipt. We receive many of these
notes from applicants that are poorly written and unclear as to which license they are applying
for. The SLA should establish a uniform “Community Board Notification Form” that all new and
renewal applicants can submit for review to Community Boards. The SLA should be required to
provide written explanations to Community Boards of their decisions that are not consistent with
those of the Community Board.
INFORMATION, TECHNOLOGY, & COMMUNICATIONS
In order to help Community Boards better manage their districts the 311 Call Center should be
required to notify individual Community Boards of all service requests and complaints it receives,
by type of request and location. Community Boards should be able to access, by location, indi-
vidual requests and complaints so we can identify trends and areas that our attention.
