Douglaston civic wants new park
From Douglaston Patch:
The Doug Bay Manor Civic Association will discuss converting a local site into a park and improving the community’s business district during a meeting on July 26.
Topics at the meeting will include working with the Douglaston Local Development Corporation to improve the local business district and an ongoing project to turn a piece of land at the corner of 39th Avenue and 234th Street into a park.
Tom Pinto, the group’s president, said original plans for the site included a building and, later, a parking lot.
Now, the civic wants the locale to be turned into a park with benches for senior citizens and a path.
“We thought with the mayor’s green streets program, this would be perfect,” Pinto said. “But the city has never picked up on it.”

what Douglaston Manor (home of NYC officials) wants, Douglaston Manor gets.....
A perfect locale for the stored-St.Saviour's, no?
Looks like a great spot for a new mcmansion, or maybe a 99 cent store, a hookah joint or a new hotel with a trendy club on the roof!
That isn't Douglas Manor. But why let facts screw up a good snipe.
