The Demapping & Closing of 36th Street

Tonight CB1 held a public hearing re the demapping of 36th Street between 34th Avenue and 35th Avenue as Kaufman Astoria Studios hopes to expand. This is a very controversial move and has upset residents who are worried about how closing a major street (36th street) will affect parking, traffic and congestion in Astoria.

The public was invited to share their thoughts at CB1 this evening on how the closing of 36th Street will impact residents and the community at large. CB1 will vote and make their recommendation.
