I was late to pick my daughter up from camp because #NYCParks closed a huge portion of Corona-Meadows Flushing Park. Apparently for some kind of music festival. There was, of course, no bike detour. The area has highways running through it, and the bridges over the highways are cordoned off. How do you get to #QueensZoo? Why, just take this other pedestrian bridge (which has gates blocking cargo bikes)!
Just constant middle fingers to #BikeNYC in central queens from Eric Adams' administration.
Queens Community Board 3 (Jackson Heights, East Elmhurst & North Corona) is holding a public hearing on a proposal for the city to buy 21 private lots for new neighborhood green spaces!
🗓️ When: Thursday, July 17, 2025

I stand with tens of thousands of New Yorkers demanding that Mayor Adams fund the NYC Parks Department at 1% of the city budget—an overdue investment in parks equity and the future of New York.
On the campaign trail, the Mayor “proudly committed to a 'percent for parks' plan,” stating that “parks are not a luxury, it's a necessity.”
But his administration has not yet followed through. Please join me in demanind he keep his promise.
I just signed the petition calling on Mayor Adams to allocate 1% of the city budget for NYC Parks! Add your name now and join me, New Yorkers for Parks, and the entire Play Fair Coalition in calling for equitable investment in our city's parks and open spaces. #1Percent4Parks
New Yorkers for Parks will also be hosting a webinar the week prior on March 11 to share key updates on the fight for parks funding, what’s at stake in the upcoming budget, and how you can get involved in advocating for NYC’s parks and green spaces.
