78th Street should be COMPLETELY car-free. The conflict between park users and drivers is too dangerous to safely engineer. We need more open space in Jackson Heights. We have experience aggressive driving by Koeppel Mazda employees (in cars with Koeppel logo) and Koeppel customers. Dealership should be required to use entrances on Northern and 77th St - which is how Toyota operated for over 20 years.
Express Bus Lane should be created for the length of Queens Blvd
I cannot believe the city is considering going back on their word and taking away park land to give to a car dealership. This would be a safety and public health disaster. Idling cars, cars making u-turns and not paying attention. Do not allow Koeppel to take critical park.
Require Koeppel car dealership to close car service entry point on corner of Northern Blvd and 78th Blvd. Ensure 78th Street remains a "car free" "kid friendly" street end to end.
This entire street was promised by the city for the public's use. Please make this a car free street for the entire length of 78th street between 34th avenue and Northern Blvd.
Please do not give any park space to Koeppel Mazda. Keep ALL of 78th st between Northern and 34th Ave as Pedestrian only as per 2015 plan. This car dealership parks their cars on the sidewalk and allowing them to drive in the park area will put children in danger. We as taxpayers should not have to foot the bill for a private driveway for this one commercial business. They should use their other entrance.
As the $6 million renovation of Travers Park enters its final phase, the De Blasio Administration is attempting to quietly break their commitment to close 78th Street completely to cars as a result of pressure from Koeppel Mazda, and use public money that was earmarked for the last stage of park renovations to build a dangerous, private driveway for Koeppel instead.
Please create separate, dedicated bus lanes all along Northern Blvd to improve traffic efficiency.
Please add a separate, protected bike lane for the entire length of Northern Blvd.
