There's NO Parking on Sidewalks

_____

It's so out of control. And some are placing their neon construction vests on the dashboard as proof they can just randomly do as they please, and are seemingly getting away with it. These vehicles are never towed.

What if a disabled person needed to get past?

Or a citizen in a wheelchair for that matter?

A new rendering has been revealed for 29-15 40th Road, an upcoming 12-story residential building in Long Island City, Queens. Few details have been made public about the project, which is being designed by Fogarty Finger Architects and developed by SB Development, which also acquired the adjacent lot at 29-13 40th Road for $8.7 million last fall.

At first glance I thought it was the severed hoof from a mechanical elephant. I had a long day. Walking roundtrip to work I see a lot of strange things/people, etc along my way

 

The regular commuters are the one's in the cars, on the buses and subways, though us walkers, we are certainly having much more fun

This plot was to have been a 17 story hotel, though as with many sites there was either a stop work order, or the deal fell through completely.

I feel how this section of Long Island City is on the brink of blasting off on the super sonic gentrification rocket, as the LIC BID expanded into this area, and the building pace will increase significantly in 2026.

Here's the design for the upcoming new building. I really like it

History of the site:

After 40 years in business the Neptune Diner located in Astoria, Queens, NYC served its last meal on Sunday, July 29. 2024. The owners claimed they were not given a chance to renew their lease, because the property will soon be turned into a residential building.

 

Since 1983, The Katsihtis brothers have owned the building on Astoria Boulevard but not the land, which was sold in 2018 for over $10 million.

 

The brothers also had a 35-year lease which expired in 2019. But since then, they were not able to come to a long-term agreement with the landlord.

But that's what Long Island City/Astoria needs is another apartment building. It's already so overbuilt, it's ridiculous. Yet they keep tearing them down and building new ones, many of which are luxury rentals. The neighborhood is losing its character to steel and glass.

Quercus alba, or white oak, is a large, long-lived tree native to eastern and central North America. It can grow over 100 feet tall and 38–50 inches in diameter, with a wide, irregular crown and horizontal branches. White oak leaves are 5–9 inches long and 2–4 inches wide, with a bright green upper surface and a whitened lower surface. The bark is whitish or light gray, and can be scaly, ridged, or furrowed. In the fall, the leaves turn wine red.

If you've ever been curious to learn the name of any tree in NYC, then you need to/must access the New York City Tree Map

You have one of these vests and toss it upon your dashboard, you can essentially park anywhere in NYC for FREE. Earn 50 Points if it says NYC Transit

 

Who's to say these people even work for NYC Transit, or in construction for that matter. Apparently it works, as I walk to/fro my place of employment every day and see this all the time

Hmm. I wonder where the registration decals are on this car?

They're constructing yet another public storage building on Northern Blvd. As for the other two, I have never seen anyone, ever, go inside either one. And I walk past this area twice per day.
