A highly anticipated 302-space municipal parking lot will open to the public on Monday at Queens Borough Hall.
The 122,360 square foot lot, which is bound by 126th and 132nd Streets and 82nd Avenue/Union Turnpike in Kew Gardens, was constructed at the former location of a four-level, 400-space parking garage. The structure was closed off in Sept. 2014 in response to concerns about its structural safety.
The lot is intended to relieve congestion in the busy area, and to help motorists access various municipal offices, including the adjacent Queens County Criminal Court. The lot is about five blocks from the Kew Gardens train station, and is within walking distance of many local businesses.

Let's see if the final product will look even remotely like the rendering. I somehow doubt it will. Who will maintain all of that expensive greenery? In a parking lot? Parks Dept?
Looks nicer than some city parks around Queens.
If it's so close to the train station, why not really relieve congestion and take the train instead.
The parks departments many renderings never match the reality because of the cheap contractors they hire.
There was nothing wrong with the original lot.
Why so small, why not make it bigger, offer the public monthly parking rates? QC readers know the answers,
In other news Melinda Katz is still around.
That lot will be occupied by placard holders by 5am each day, as will the surrounding streets. Members of the public who cannot use public transportation are invited to commute to work using the bike lanes.

There's no subway in most of Queens.

Why? This is pretty much the only thing I've seen on QC that's been built smaller instead of larger.
This is news? This is Sad!
