"I think we can sometimes see how interested members of Congress are by judging how accessible they make their district offices.Congresswoman Grace Meng has opened her district office in Bayside at 218-14 Northern Boulevard. That's six blocks from the eastern edge of the district. It's also an hour and fifteen by perfectly functioning public transportation from Juniper Valley Park (in the district). It's 3 1/2 miles from the nearest subway station (Flushing Main St) and 4 1/2 from 179th Street on the F Line. It's only a half mile from Bayside on the LIRR. There were plenty more centralized options closer to the subway she could have picked, considering the district includes 16 subway stops.
Even Joe Crowley found a way to be more accessible to constituents in both Queens and the Bronx." - anonymous
This was probably done in homage to Gary Ackerman. This is where his office was.
