Queens Boulevard Restoration Group Newsletter 9-5-2004 Residents meet with Councilwoman Katz Concerned Forest Hills residents and merchants met with Councilwoman Melinda Katz in November to discuss the ongoing sanitation issues on Queens Blvd. The major issue remains the removal of trash and high weeds from the Blvd’s center and outer medians. As part of the city’s agreement, maintenance of the Queens Blvd medians is the responsibility of the Dept of Sanitation. This includes trash and snow removal. Last year, despite numerous complaints, the city brought cleaning crews only sporadically to Forest Hills and Rego Park. Katz has repeatedly asked Mayor Bloomberg for assistance, but due to budget constraints, a regular cleaning schedule was not possible last year. Hopefully this year will be different. A petition drive is underway. © 1997,1998,1999 E.Central, Inc. |
