The Burden on Briarwood

Two of the closest streets to this location are Burden Crescent and Manton Street. With names like those, you know crap's a comin' to house the tweeded.
The exact addresses are 141-27 & 141-29 84th Drive in Briarwood. Two quaint 1-family houses are being replaced by two 10-unit shitboxes. I see that Councilman James Gennaro has been looking out for the welfare of the neighborhood in between the stuffing of his pockets with campaign cash from developers.

Flooding? So what? Power outages? So what? Kids learning in hallways and trailers? So what? There'll soon be a bike lane on Queens Blvd and all will be right with the world.

Ask the folks of Fresh Meadows how Councilman Gennaro treated the proposal to change their zoning to R2A!

Wasn't the rezoning to R6A supposed to preserve this block??

Gennaro = Slimeball

Don't pick on bike lanes! (Though Queens Boulevard sounds like a dangerous place for one.)

Over all ...bike lanes are good things but placement needs to be thought out better.

Bike lanes are fine, but when your attention is taken up by installing one at the expense of everything else going on, then there's a big problem.

Exactly!! Well said!

Now about the bulk of these buildings in R6A ... any ideas?
