SERVING SUNNYSIDE-WOODSIDE AND LONG ISLAND CITY

by Jason Greenberg

Lately, people have been dis-turbed by the recurring noise com-ing from one of the MTA’s fourprojects, which are the 2nd AvenueSubway, The Fulton Center, thenew 7 Train stop at Hudson Yards(which was recently completed)and the East Side Access. The lastis the project people are complain-ing about as it is the largest (andlongest) project of the four andwas initially supposed to be fin-ished by approximately 2014. Now,due to major issues, the projectwas forced to be delayed until 2022.

The East Side Access is aproject that connects the Long Is-land Railroad to a new station un-der Grand Central. This connec-

tion is costing the MTA billions ofdollars. Locals are affected by theconstruction in Sunnyside for theproject. The Long Island Railroadwill run above a new bridge onBarnett Avenue and 48th Street inSunnyside to get to Grand CentralTerminal, replacing the currentbridge that needs rebuilding.

People are extremely upset anddispleased with the infringement ontheir privacy. At night, sounds com-ing from the project have traveledacross several blocks in Sunnyside,disturbing residents in the overnight,preventing a good night’s sleep.During this time, they have tempo-rarily blocked 39th Avenue.

Signal Received: MTA Tran-sit President Veronique “Ronnie”Hakim, said the modern signal sys-tem will be complete in 2017,which will help restore better ser-vice on the #7. Melissa Orlando,who founded #7 Train Blues/AccessQueens.org asked CityCouncil Majority Leader JimmyBramer to invite the MTA to an-swer questions from frustrated rid-ers, and he did so at a well-at-tended Town Hall with Hakim atSunnyside Community Services onApril 5. Orlando said, “We werereally pleased to begin a construc-tive dialogue with the MTA andthat the riders from all over Queenscame out to share their concerns.”

Oddly, no report of new mil-

lionaires! The Sunnyside Cham-ber ferried 75 gamblers April 3 toAtlantic City as a fundraiser, mas-terminded by Lowery Liquor’sAnthony Lodati in honor of BobLodati, Roel Vanderkooi, andLuke Adams, and abetted byDazies’ Lily Gavin and FinancialServices Manny Gomez.

In-valuable help was given by KrisCzerniachowicz, Stephanie La-dino and Max of Dazies.


Proposed building at50-25 Barnett Avenue


Yesterday, April 5th, 2016,Majority Leader Jimmy VanBramer and rider advocacy groupAccess Queens held a town hallmeeting attended by nearly 200 rid-ers of the 7 train, as well as seniorofficials from the MTA, includingNew York City Transit PresidentVeronique “Ronnie” Hakim.

At the event, Hakim admittedthat the MTA could do a better jobcommunicating with its riders aboutdelays, track work, and alternatecommuting options. She also an-nounced that beginning in the fall,the MTA will add two trains on the7 line during evening hours, whichriders hope will make their com-mute less painful. In addition, theMTA said work to repair the dam-

age done by Superstorm Sandy tothe Steinway Tunnel, which con-nects Queens and Manhattan onthe 7 line, should be completed bythe end of the month.

“7 train riders have sufferedfor years, and I’m glad that theMTA was able to hear directlyfrom us about the problems weexperience on a near-daily basis,”said Majority Leader Jimmy VanBramer. “Hopefully RonnieHakim can bring a fresh set ofideas to the table, and improveboth service and communicationwith 7 train riders. Riders tonightasked pointed, thoughtful ques-tions—and I will continue to workwith Ronnie and the MTA to en-sure they take our concerns seri-

ously and make the changes nec-essary so 7 train riders can rely onthe line to get us to our destina-tions on time.”

“We were very happy with theturnout and the constructive ex-change between the MTA and thecommunity,” said Brandon W.Mosely of Access Queens.“Though they have a lot work to doahead of them, particularly withcommunication, we are optimisticthat the MTA will continue to beengaged and transparent whileworking toward resolving our is-sues. We are pleased to hear thatthe 7 Train will start to see com-pleted work this year.

STATEMENTS REGARDINGTHE PASSAGE OF NYS BUDGET

“I am thrilled with the inclusion of paid family leave and a minimum wage increase inthe state budget, which will benefit many hard working New Yorkers,” said SenatorMichael Gianaris. “These achievements will reduce hardships for New York’s workingfamilies and lift people out of poverty while boosting our economy and bridging thegrowing gap between the rich and the poor.”

“With this budget, New York State is ahead of the curve, prioritizing the needs of thefamily and recognizing the increasing costs of living in this state. I hope that the exampleNew York is setting will open the flood gates for improved paid family leave policies andliving wages across the country. I applaud the bold stance Governor Cuomo took in ensuringthat New York State will continue to be a leader by providing paid family leave and a $15minimum wage, which are so important to working families. It is a sign of the Governor’scommitment to improving the lives of all New Yorkers.

This year’s budget is an enormous boon for families across the state. Now, no one willhave to choose between doing what is right for his or her family and making sure the billsget paid at the end of the month, and making ends meet will significantly less of a struggle.New York has long set an example for the rest of the country, and I am proud that we arecontinuing to do so,” stated Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney

“Libraries all over our City are on the front lines of fighting inequality, providing accessto technology, assisting new immigrants, providing education for adults and children, andso many more programs and services that are critical to how we, as a City, aspire to live andwork. I appreciate the City Council’s commitment to keep investing in libraries in theirpreliminary budget response. I look forward to working with our leadership to make it areality.” Dennis Walcott, President and CEO, Queens Library

VISION ZERO VIEW MAPPOSTS NEW SPEED LIMITS

Following the introduction of a bill byMajority Leader Van Bramer requiring theVision Zero View Map to include postedspeed limits on all New York City streets,DOT updated its Vision Zero View map toinclude the data. In November 2014, theCity Council passed a law lowering thedefault speed limit in New York City to 25miles per hour from 30 miles per hour.Because speed is the leading cause of trafficfatalities, this decrease in the speed limithelped make 2015 the safest year for NewYork City pedestrians since the city begankeeping track in 1910. However, as manystreets have retained higher speed limits (upto 35 miles per hour on some major corri-dors), it is important to keep track, in acentral location, of which neighborhoodshave higher speed limits.

In response to this change in DOT policy,Majority Leader Van Bramer issued thefollowing statement:

“I’m glad that DOT, after seeing my

legislation, decided to prioritize speed limitdata. Speed is the leading factor in trafficdeaths, which is why it’s so important tohave public information on city speed lim-its. When we lowered the speed limit in2014, we took a major step forward in mak-ing our streets safer for all. Now, with thepublication of this data, communities cansee which streets might be signed incor-rectly, and be informed advocates for addi-tional traffic-calming measures such asNeighborhood Slow Zone.”

“While I’m glad that DOT has includedthis data on the Vision Zero View Map, thereis still more to do, and I will still advocate forthe passage of Intro 1116. Not only does itrequire the city to report on additional trafficsafety information, including the contribut-ing factors to crashes resulting in injury ordeath, the bill makes publishing this infor-mation a DOT requirement. If priorities oradministrations change, we will still haveaccess to vital traffic safety information.”

EAST SIDE ACCESSIn New York City there are regu-

lations about when, where, and howNew York City workers completehuge projects. This is called the‘New York City Noise Code.’ How-ever, because the East Side Accessis a state project, the MTA doesn’thave to abide by the code. Theagency claims it tries to abide by itanyway, but on the third page of theNoise Code it says, “To limit con-struction noise, the Noise Codemandates that all construction beconducted in accordance with noisemitigation plans that address thespecific location, type of work, andtiming of a project.” The Noise Codealso specifies in detail exactly whenit allows workers to do construc-tion. “Construction Hours: Con-struction may occur between 7:00am and 6:00 pm on weekdays.”

Sunnyside resident IraGreenberg is an MTA board mem-ber himself, and is disturbed by thenoise. His wife (Ellen) went storm-ing out in her pajamas at midnightone evening because she wanted totell the workers that there was nocommunity notification. There was,but some people are not on the emaillist for notifications. Ira says that thesound of the construction bouncesoff of his neighbor’s house and ontohis. He says, “Well… I’m disturbedby it at night, it wakes me up at 2 or3 in the morning.” When asked if hethinks other people are disturbed hesaid, “Some people may not hearit… I don’t know, they may sleepright through it.”

One of the places affected isSunnyside Towers, which is near theconstruction. A resident by the nameof Christina says “Although shedoesn’t hear the sound because herapartment faces another direction,she still has ideas about it, and knowsother people who have complained.”

She noted that when they are makingall this noise and inconveniencingpeople, there is not really a benefitfor residents in Sunnyside. She stated,“She Hasn’t had too much problemwith the noise. The project benefitspeople who are coming from LongIsland. It’s done nothing for us inSunnyside. After all this noise andinconvenience, we get no benefit.”Christina is also upset about how thestreets are a mess because of theproject. She feels that our area is notreally being respected.

In addition, a student named Dor-othy who lives on 45th Street saysthat she heard the noise two nights;

PARTICIPATORYBUDGETINGFOR DISTRICT 26

On Saturday, April 2nd, Ma-jority Leader Jimmy VanBramer voted in ParticipatoryBudgeting at the Sunnyside Li-brary. Through ParticipatoryBudgeting, residents of the 26thCouncil District are able to havea direct say in how city fundsare spent to improve the com-munity. In the fall, residentscame together to brainstormcommunity needs. They thenvolunteered as budget delegatesto whittle down ideas into 21good, implementable projectsto benefit the community. Lastweek, over 3,600 residents ofthe 26th District voted for 5 oftheir favorite projects. The win-ners will then be funded, at acost of over $1 million.

Projects on the ballot this yearincluded school auditorium and

technology upgrades, security system upgrades for libraries, pedes-trian safety improvements, and upgrades to public housing develop-ments. The winners will be announced in the next two weeks.

“I want to thank everyone who got involved in the ParticipatoryBudgeting process,” said Majority Leader Jimmy Van Bramer.“From attending neighborhood assemblies to volunteering asbudget delegates to getting out the vote—this process works bestwhen people participate. I’m confident that whatever projects win,Participatory Budgeting helped the residents of the 26th districthave a direct voice in how the make our communities better.”

one night was bad and the other nottoo bad. When asked what she heardin detail, she says, “I heard lots ofbangs, people dropping stuff.” Shealso heard a loud drill. She thinksthat if she heard it from 45th Street,then she believes that other peoplewill definitely hear it.

Finally, the MTA stated why theydo overnight work. They issued astatement that says they can onlywork when train service is suspended,which is at night. They say that theywon’t really be able to finish theproject as quickly unless they workovernight, but they say they will takeall complaints into consideration.

We extend our thanks to Coun-cil Member Jimmy Van Bramer,Ronnie Hakim and her associatesfor making the town hall happen,and we look forward to more dia-log and shared data so that togetherwe can find solutions to improveour borough.”

Riders asked questions aheadof time using #AsktheMTA, andin person at the event. A maintheme of the questions was com-munication: how the MTA canbetter inform riders of delays, out-

ages, and scheduled track work.Commuters also asked about theMTA’s ability to increase serviceto accommodate Queens’ grow-ing population.

The 7 train suffers fromregular delays and shutdowns,including extensive delays andovercrowding just this morn-ing and a partial shutdown thispast weekend. It has beennamed the least structurallysound line in the New YorkCity, with 37% of the line’sstructural components rated asnot in a state of good repair.Majority Leader Van Bramerand Access Queens have heldseveral well-attended ralliesdemanding the MTA undertakea full-line review of the 7 train.

Taller Buildings: A wide majority ofCity Councilmembers passed Mayor DeBlasio’s two zoning amendments March 22which will apply when variances, or changes,are requested by builders. City Council ne-gotiated concessions from REBNY, the RealEstate Board of New York, for more and lessexpensive units to provide affordable andsenior housing in new buildings. This writerworries that 200,000 affordable units plannedmeans a million more units, taller buildings,less parking, overdevelopment and moretransit woes. 51 of 59 community boardshad rejected the plans.

PAIDFAMILY LEAVE

“Families arethe foundation ofour society,” saidA s s e m b l y -woman Nolan,long time spon-

sor of the Assembly bill. “Afterhaving sponsored and passed simi-lar versions of this legislation forover 15 years in the Assembly, Iam thrilled that we were able tomake it a reality. We need to doeverything we can to help indi-viduals balance family and workwithout compromising their eco-nomic security. I want to thankSpeaker Carl Heastie for his lead-ership on this issue, GovernorCuomo for making this a priorityand the advocates who workedhard for many years on this issue.”

Nolan first introduced a billon paid family leave in 1997.Prior to her bill, formerAssemblymember Frank Barbarohad introduced a similar bill in1994 and 1996. Since 1997, theAssembly has passed variousversions of this legislation eighttimes. Most recently on Febru-ary 2, 2016, the Assembly passedA.3870-A (Nolan) which wouldestablish a comprehensive fam-ily medical leave program for allemployees in the state.

CALL FOR INCREASED

In the wake of recent terror attacksworldwide, Senator Michael Gianaris andAssemblymember Nily Rozic held a pressconference last week, calling for the pas-sage of their legislation which would imple-ment advanced security measures at ourtransit infrastructure.

“One only needs to turn on his televi-sion to know that transportation infrastruc-ture is a prime terrorist target,” said SenatorMichael Gianaris. “Allowing anti-terror-ism experts to provide input on enhancedsecurity measures will ensure we are pro-viding the maximum protection for thoseriding our subways and commuter trains.”

“With continuous terrorism threats worldwide, it is important that weutilize available resources to strengthen our transit system’s security,”said Assemblymember Nily Rozic. “The MTA is responsible for movinghundreds of thousands of New Yorkers every day and by bringing in theDepartment of Homeland Security for a thorough review, we would betaking critical steps to ensure their every day safety.”

Through the enactment of this bill, the state division of homelandsecurity and emergency services would conduct a comprehensive securityreview of Metropolitan Transportation Authority facilities. Additionalsecurity measures recommended by this review would prevent personsfrom causing harm through the damage and destruction of the criticalinfrastructure of the MTA, protecting the public and our public transit.

On March 22nd, innocent lives were lost in Brussels at the Maelbeeksubway station due to terror attacks. An hour beforehand, the Brusselsairport also faced sudden horror. Not too long before this incident, inNovember of 2015, Paris underwent similar tragedies, with suicidebombers and mass shootings taking the lives of innocents.

Senator Gianaris has authored important public safety measures,including the state’s first major anti-terror law after the September 11thattacks. The Energy Security Act, also penned by Senator Gianaris, hasbecome a national model, which strengthens security at New York’spower plants and transmission centers using a similar model to thatproposed in this legislation.

PROJECT LIMITS

CONSIDEREDby David Rosasco

On any given Saturday, withyouth marching out in every direc-tion to restore the entire Woodsidezip code and beyond to pristinecondition, weather and aggravat-ing circumstance appear not todampen the mood of the youth toserve consistently, with MichaelMaye, 8th grade student at St.Sebastian School and a leaderamong leaders observing “The rainkind of takes the painting away,but we can pick up trash and domulch, so why cancel.”

On Thursday, March 31, forexample, Janis Quilapio and AlexisMelendez, 7th grade students at St.Sebastian School and on Easter re-cess, quietly moved the easternproject border further into Elmhurst,arriving successfully at 81st Streetand Broadway, removing moregraffiti, but pushing the area of op-erations further from the center, asJanis remarked “The only problemis getting this far from the startingpoint with all of our supplies.”

A large gathering youth returned

to their mainstay concerns of clean-ing and graffiti removal on Satur-day, April 2, with those in the smallhours moving east and west alongRoosevelt Avenue between 61st and73rd Streets retrieving garbage, yetthe limitations brought by morningrain prevented their primary tasksfrom being completed.

With better weather conditionsemerging in the afternoon hours,another smaller youth assemblywere available to remove the graf-fiti along the identical route theprior youth were prevented fromdoing, with Deeba Adil, 7th gradestudent at IS 126 and another rap-idly emerging leader stating “I guesswe were lucky the sun came out.”

Having retired from all of thework for the weekend, and afteranother victory over doing noth-ing, it was Sahil Adil, 6th gradestudent at IS 126 who summed upthe mood of the youth best, assert-ing “if it wasn’t that small mindedpeople do the graffiti and leavetheir garbage behind, we couldmove ahead father and faster.”
