Newtown Ave Meeting: Tomorrow

Let’s put a pedestrian plaza in Newtown Ave between Key Food and Athens Cafe!

Not as crazy as it sounds. There’s an NYCDOT and Community Board meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, June 5, from 6:30 to 8pm at Astoria World Manor, 25-22 Astoria Blvd.

No doubt Key Food will be fighting hard to save their five parking spaces. And I’ve got nothing against Key Food (and I do love their house DJ… their toons are always so much better than what I hear at Trade Fair), but it would be great to reclaim a underused public space for the public!

Besides, haven’t you always wanted to see the inside of Astoria World Manor? I have.
