Koeppel Mazda underhandedly is trying to steal much needed, planned park space. Keep ALL of 78th st between Northern and 34th Ave as Pedestrian only as per 2015 plan. Koeppel parks their cars on the sidewalk, and generally acts as if it is their private street. The proposal to create a private 'Koeppel Only' driveway with taxpayer money (previously allocated to the park) is adding insult to injury.

Separated bus lanes should be provided all along Northern Boulevard to make this route efficient by bus. Buses get stuck in traffic frequently. Northern Boulevard is far from subway stops for much of its length; creating a separate bus lane would revolutionize transit in this part of Queens

Koeppel Mazda uses public space as storage for their vehicles, get them off the sidewalk and give Jackson Heights the car-free park all the way to Northern Boulevard that was promised to the community

Protected bike lane all along northern boulevard is needed, but especially connecting to the newly renovated Travers Park, which should include a car-free 78th st all the way to Northern Boulevard.

Making a change to the Travers Park 78th Street plan, without any community input, to accommodate a politically connected business, is not in line with Vision Zero. Letting cars onto 78th Street from Northern Blvd is simply incompatible with a safe park for kids (or anybody). This is the only park we have, for God's sake. Koeppel has *miles* of property. We have this one park.

Please keep 78th street car free as called for in the original Travers Park renovation plan. Do not permit any vehicles to enter the road for commerce or transit purposes. Please maintain it as pedestrian only.

Make 78 Street pedestrian as per official redesign plan for Travers Park. Koeppel car dealership as illegally opened a service entrance on the street designated solely for pedestrian access to the park.

The City has promised to close all of 78th Street to vehicle traffic as part of the renovation of Travers Park and Staunton Field. It is not acceptable that 78th Street remain open for the private use of the car dealership on Northern Boulevard. This is an issue of great concern to the neighborhood and the solution is obvious. Do not prioritize the desires of this private business over the needs of the community and Vision Zero!

As a resident and voter in Jackson Heights Queens, I am writing to protest the decision to allow a car dealership, Koeppel Mazda, to use a portion of 78 Street as a private driveway, instead of allowing the entire street to be used as part of Travers Park. I am asking the City administration to keep its promise to close 78th Street completely to cars instead. This breaks a commitment from the NYC Department of Transportation, is an egregious misuse of tax dollars, and creates a dangerous situation in which cars and park-goers will be in open conflict. Koeppel Mazda’s new service entrance falls within the redesigned park’s boundaries and will endanger this vitally important community plan to expand open space, combat climate change, and protect the park-goers from conflicts with dangerous motor vehicles. Jackson Heights already suffers from having the least amount of open space per capita in New York City as well as a high rate of pedestrian fatalities, in particular on Northern Boulevard. For the past ten years, the community been working closely with Council Member Dromm to permanently close 78th Street between Northern Blvd and 34th Avenue to all vehicular traffic to facilitate expanding Travers Park. I urge you to keep your promise to all the residents of Jackson Heights and preserve 78 Street fully as part of Travers Park, and not allow Koeppel to use any part of 78 Street for its private use. Thank you for your attention.
