CBS NY
Trucks are taking over another Queens neighborhood.
CBS2 found around two dozen parked Sunday night in Forest Hills, some idling for hours.
Residents said they are begging the city to help. Reporter Lisa Rozner first reported on the problem two years ago. On Sunday, she went back to speak with residents who said the situation has only gotten worse.
Truck fumes filled the air, but she wasn’t at a truck stop.
It was actually the Grand Central service road spanning several blocks starting at 64th Road. For the last three years, Rafy Yusupov and his neighbors say it’s what they come home to every night — and it’s especially bad on weekends when trucks are left for days.
“Always noise, always smell, traffic,” Yusupov said.
Here's an idea. Since the MTA did a transit ad campaign with Comedy Central and Forest hills resident and Golden Globe winner and viral rap star Awkwafina having her doing station announcements, have the NYPD make the same integrated advertising/public service arrangement with the network and have her order the removal of these pig parking big rigs.
Catch Awkwafina is Nora from Queens premiering on Comedy Central on January 22nd.

Really? THIS is what the Crapper has become? a shill for cable tv?
Ah! To live in NYC, again. Pffffft!

That would have meant that I got paid.
That was a joke integrated with a dig at the only time the city makes an effort to help it's citizens. When it's tied to celebrity.
I don't even have cable.
Don't forget to tune into Roseanne now on Cozi at 9 to 11 pm
Who is getting paid off in Ticket City in this blatant in your face corruption?
@JQ LLC said..."I don't even have cable."
Bravo JQ I dumped cable 15 year ago ! Don't miss it at all.
You pay the Cable company to get brainwashed !
Free OTA TV, Fios and YouTube/Amazon TV for me.
Oh did I forget Queens Crap too :-D
The same thing has been happening along the shoulder of the Clearview Expressway. The trucks are parked there Day and night. If you know the Clearview, you know it's a speed trap with cops there hiding out to ticket you for speeding at all times. Somehow they don't see the trucks parked in "Emergency Stopping Only". The poor people who live there must not be able to open their windows, ever. And will probably die from lung cancer. It's awful.
Where is Queens Civic Congress?
Clearview Expressway is a known speed trap. Only out of towners drive there high speed, all locals know the deal. As for the trucks, spot on, as I said someone is getting paid.
JQ I get that you're making with the funny but don't shill (even ironically). Plus I hate her dumb character (the actress is fine, the character is aggravatingly fake - an oreo-flavored twinkie).
Awkwafina is like the grandaughter of the owners of Lum's restaurant in FLushing.
Her recardings where making subway announcement. "THis is express, as in not local" "Welcome to Queens, my home borough"
DEmotherfuckerBlasio! Enforce the fucking laws on the book, you scumbag retard. From South Jamaica to Forest Hills, you dumb motherfucker.

Come again. I knew the owner of Lum's in Flushing, who died under very suspicious circumstances. I know his son. What is your point?
@Tommy
I don't think I was being ironic at all. I kinda derived it from Ricky Gervais promoting his recent show (about a man who tries to kill himself) and relating it to Jeffery Epstein(a man who didn't)
In this case, a certain to be stupid and useless show to match the stupid and useless lack of enforcement in this case here.
Awkwafina has said that her great-grandfather previously owned a restaurant. “[He had] one of the first Chinese restaurants in Flushing, New York. It was open from the 1950s to the 1980s. It was a big, successful business called Lum’s—this mythical family institution,”

Or the ambulance that loves to hang out near the triangle by A&S Nursery in Whitestone all hours of the day and night. What gives with that?
