  • Guardians of Flushing Bay's
    October 20, 2020 Mr. Andrew Brooks Environmental Program Manager - Airports Division Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Regional Office, AEA-610 1 Aviation Plaza Jamaica, New York 11434 Sent via email [email protected] Dear Mr. Brooks: On behalf of the Guardians of Flushing Bay, thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed LaGuardia Airport Access Improvement Project’s Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). Guardians of Flushing Bay (GoFB) is a coalition of residents, human-powered boaters and park users advocating for a healthy and equitably accessible Flushing Bay and Creek. Through waterfront programming, hands on stewardship, community visioning and bottom up advocacy GoFB strives to realize Flushing Waterways as a place where our most marginalized watershed residents can learn, work and thrive.We are also a member of the Sensible Way to LGA coalition, a united group of local residents, community-based organizations, and citywide partners fighting for a substantial and meaningful LGA Airtrain EIS process that produces the best alternative for all New Yorkers. And we are long standing partners of Riverkeeper, an environmental watchdog group protecting and restoring the Hudson River and its tributaries (of which Flushing Bay and Creek are included). Project Background The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (Port Authority) proposes to construct an elevated AirTrain to carry passengers between The New York City Transit Authority Mets-Willets Point and the LaGuardia Airport. The proposal comprises multiple pieces of large scale infrastructure. For operations and support infrastructure, the proposal calls for a passenger and walkway systems, parking garages, ground transportation facilities, a multilevel operations, maintenance, and storage facility with 500 Airport employee parking spaces, traction power substations located at the on-airport East Station, the Mets-Willets Point Station, a 27kV main substation, and utilities infrastructure.

Varrone, architect. Landmark Site: Borough of Queens Tax Map Block 2010, Lot 1 in part, consisting of that portion of the lot bounded by a line beginning at the northwesterly corner, then extending easterly along the northern property line to a point 24.75 feet from the northwesterly corner, southerly along a line at an angle of 90 degrees to the southern property line, westerly along the southern property line to the western property line, and northerly along the western property line, to the point of beginning. On January 15, 2008, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Congregation Tifereth Israel and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 1). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provision of the law. Five people spoke in favor of designation, including representatives of the Landmarks Conservancy, Municipal Art Society, Historic Districts Council, the Board of Trustees of Congregation Tifereth Israel, and the Council of Jewish Émigré Community Organization. Additionally, the Commission has received letters from Queens Borough President Helen M. Marshall, City Council Member Hiram Monserrate, Queens Community Board 3 Chairman Martin Maier, and the Queens Jewish Historical Society in support of designation. Summary The oldest active synagogue in Corona, the Congregation Tifereth Israel is a rare survivor of the earliest Jewish synagogues built in Queens. This synagogue, whose full name is translated as the Congregation Independent Community, Glory of Israel, People of Corona, was constructed in 1911 to house a congregation of Jews that had relocated to Queens primarily from other parts of New York City.
