The Rikers bus let's off right there, so a forest is a bad idea. Plus with all those strip clubs, you want to be as visible as possible. Then the late night atmosphere. Man they must be doing some serious people scaping before they move that sort of park in there. Yeah. The Rikers bus let’s off right there, so a forest is a bad idea.

After all it seems like we are pretty much starting over with a brand new neighborhood. I love seeing this plan. Let's have more trees to balance out all the buildings!

With all the new residential condos going in nearby, a park (however noisy...we don't care about noise, we live in the city...)would be a great place to walk the dogs, get some fresh air, etc. I applaud the effort to improve our quality of life.

I for one am looking forward to the ground breaking and believe this will enhance and evolve the gateway into queens. A special thanks to Mayor Bloomberg and the local politicians who have assisted in making this happen. We’ve been waiting a long time for this plan to actually break ground.

And become what it is now, a noisy trash strewn mess. Maybe put a fresh market there or sell Xmas trees there during the winter.

Plant as many trees as possible as noise buffers between the elevated and the homes/businesses nearby. I'd support that.

If the city wants to green up that place and plant a few trees, I'm all for it. This is NYC, where a patch of dirt on the side of a noisy highway can be called a park.

Anything they do there will be an improvement. THAT SAID, I am an optimist, but I seriously cannot figure out how they are going to transform this area into a place where people want to congregate. Without seriously considering how they are going to deal with the extant aural landscape (i.e. the elevated train that literally screams through that curve every 2-4 minutes), this park is going to be a wasteland. If they can clean it up, make it less junky and clarify the traffic that moves through there, that will be a dramatic improvement, but I honestly don't see a burgeoning park replete with greenery ever being successful there. I'd love to be proven wrong here. This areas literally looks like a bomb went off there 10 years ago and nobody ever bothered to clean up the mess. Anything they do there will be an improvement.

This is one reason why I rarely sit on my stoop in the summer. That'll be one loud park. I lived under the dang elevated train, but I don’t think I’d feel like picnicing under it.

That area is the 3rd loudest section of Queens behind JFK and LaGuardia. Between the subways and traffic, the only people going to this park will be the deaf.
