Beautiful plantings in front of the Jamaica Multiplex in the pots. They are changed with the seasons & well cared for. Very nice. There used to be artwork displayed here, also. It would be nice to see that again, keeping in mind there are people speaking 171 different languages in Queens, there is not just one type of person here.

Icy Sidewalk

I have never seen this sidewalk cleared sufficiently for pedestrians waiting for the bus. They have to climb over/walk on uneven icy packed mounds to reach the door of the bus. I see old ladies with canes & walkers trying to do this. I am afraid to do it myself. It is very dangerous.

Groups of religious singers gather on the corner in front of the movie theatre, singing loudly in the ears of pedestrians passing by, more than 10 decibels above the ambient noise level. They also block a large portion of the sidewalk on occasion. Their volume should be controlled as they are very, very loud. The music is nice otherwise. There is also a park down the street where they would have more room & not be so close to passersby as to affect their hearing.

The produce vendor in the Jamaica Market entrance behaves inappropriately towards females. The other vendors are very nice & respectful

Dress for Less stores using megaphones to attract customers. It is more than 10 decibels above the ambient noise level & should not be permitted. It's too loud

Non-stop honking by gypsy cab drivers soliciting fares from pedestrians. I once counted 33 honks walking from this corner to the next. Noise pollution.

I find it interesting that you listed "blocking the box" for motor vehicles, but not for MTA Buses who repeatedly "block the box" multiple times a day. Don't let them tell you it's all because of the gypsy cab drivers blocking lanes (which is also a problem) because the bus drivers repeatedly block the box because of traffic. They should not be entering the intersection until it is clear that they will be able to leave the box unblocked. The bus drivers are also very aggressive with their honking when danger is absent. Thank you

Crime

This is the exit/entrance for the subway & for LAZ Parking, where many Social Security Administration employees park. The area directly in front of the escalator & the parking lot doorway is inundated with 2nd hand smoke from marijuana smokers who smoke openly, publicly in this area from before 6am to after 6pm daily. They may smoke there during other hours, but I wouldn't know about that because I am not there. Please eliminate the marijuana smoking & hangout for other criminal activities.

Work With CUNY York College and LIRR to Reopen and reinvigorate Union Hall Gate. Please Stop CUNY Security vehicles from parking on the sidewalk here eliminating ADA accessibility.

Narrow Sidewalk

Sidewalk is FAR to narrow for bus stop. During rush hour pedestrians passing the folks waiting for the bus ofter need to walk in the street.
