Summary

The Subcommittee on Landmarks, Public Sitings, Resiliency and Dispositions, chaired by Council Member Christopher Marte, held a brief hybrid meeting. The agenda included one vote on an application heard the previous month: LU 14, a Queens "walk to park" acquisition and site selection. The proposal by the Department of Parks and Recreation would approve City acquisition and site selection of 31 privately owned sites for a future park in Queens Community District 2, covering Long Island City, Sunnyside, Woodside, Blissville, and West Maspeth. The chair noted the local council members were supportive, no members had questions, and the item was approved by a vote of four in the affirmative and referred to the full Land Use Committee.
