Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

I wonder if he picked up those napkins the cameraman dropped in order to illustrate the uncleanliness.
It looks like a dump, just like the rest of Queens.
Who was the creative leader on this project?
Looks more like a street in Israel after a suicide bombing attack.
It's kind of ridiculous, because they launched this pedestrian plaza at the beginning of winter and did NOTHING to dress it up. There is a restaurant there that would like to do outdoor dining, but the City needs to give plants, etc, like they did for other plazas.
The merchants complain about everything, and they shouldn't, because they won't even take part in a BID. They give nothing back to the community AT ALL, and many don't even sweep sidewalks.
There's not many people utilizing our parks and ballfields during the winter months either. Does that mean our parks are just wasted space?
Lets see what this space looks like in the warmer months to give it a fair analysis.
RLDC seems to like the idea.

Not a fan of these pedestrian plazas, but it seems to me that the business owners are just mad that they can't park their own cars in front of their stores. How much business could they possibly be losing from the few parking spots that were taken away? That street is only a couple of hundred feet away from a major bus and subway hub. Business owners, cry me a river. City, get rid of these stupid plazas.
The correspondent was WRONG in inferring that the City just plopped a plaza on Jackson Heights. The plaza was the result of a multi-year DOT study to alleviate traffic and congestion from Broadway, Roosevelt Avenue, 37 Road, 73 Street and 74 Streets, which all converge at this site. Preventing traffic from driving on 37th Road reduces the number of ways drivers can turn - and block other lanes of traffic. Had it opened in springtime, it would look much better. The merchants' lack of business has little to do with this new open space.
This plaza could have been amazing if the theater survived, restaurants and cafes came in, and permanent and generous greenery was planted. The DOT must work with economic agencies and business groups to realize these visions.
