80 Street between Park Lane South and Jamaica Ave
NationalGrid started to replace gas pipe lines at the beginning of 2022, and is still unfinished. Neighbors complained about trash, parking (most homes have no driveway), on and off repairs, homeless by Chase Bank, aging Post Office building, stolen packages, uneven temporary asphalt sidewalks (difficult for seniors), tilting tree guards…
Flooding at 80 Street near Park Lane South
80 Street slopes downward from Park Lane South to Jamaica Avenue. Logically, houses higher up should not be flooded. Street construction about a year ago changed the pitch of the sidewalk, and now several houses flood when rainwater runs down the street. Is the City liable?

111 Ave and 124 St: Dangling cable, pothole and drug den
Cars stolen in this area within a month; loose cable in front of 124-03 111 Avenue; wide sinking pothole in the middle of street; possible drug den at 124-10 111 Avenue; popping mufflers at night; double parking; speeding; stolen packages…
Proposal 3: Choice in education and afterschool programs.
Best way to reduce crime and poverty is in educating our children. But what happens when the children are enrolled in failing schools? DeBlasio’s lottery system has failed good students’ top choices. So many new curriculum introduced that money and time are being wasted. If teachers disagree or protest, they are ignored or let go. … Read more
