NAVIGATING QUEENS We are lucky to live in a borough as diverse, unique and densely populated as Queens. Our diversity means that we are continually seeing new faces; our lead in the size of our immigrant population makes us unique; and the sheer volume of our residents – if we stood alone as our own city, we would be the fourth largest in the county – makes Queens a fantastic place to live. It also makes it confusing: overlapping political boundaries cause some puzzlement; a centralized city aid phone number makes some of us feel second-class; and the need for services in a borough of our size is often overshadowed by ability to locate help. In short, it’s tough to navigate these murky waters. That’s why the Queens Tribune has published its annual Guide To Queens. The 2011 Blue Book is chock full of the sort of information that can help everyone – from those visiting our borough to the old-timers who have been here for decades – find their way through our borough. So keep this edition, put it next to your computer or with your phone books; and use it throughout the year to help make sense out of this place that 2.3 million of us call home.

The Official Guide To Queens 2011 — The Queens Blue Book

A Guide To The Official Guide

By MICHAEL SCHENKLER Some things endure. The Queens Tribune’s Official Guide to Queens is one of those special creations for a publisher that leaves its mark on the industry and the area and just keeps on going and giving.

Page 6 Tribune Jan. 27 - Feb. 2, 2011 • www.queenstribune.com

More than 20 years ago, in 1991, I sat in my storefront office on Kissena Boulevard and told David Oats and a handful of other staff members that we were the paper of record in Queens and part of our responsibilit y was recording history and providing for our readers the borough’s information in a usable, reader-friendly format. The Blue Book you are holding (or the online edition you are viewing) is the 2011 version of an annual guide which is in its third decade of publication. Year after year, the annual Tribune Guide to Queens has been the most comprehensive working reference book for all who have occasion to navigate through Queens, its information, bureaucracy and life. As we at the Tribune enter our fifth decade of publishing, we take note of the Official Guide, just half our age, but our most referred publication each year. The Trib has been chronicling the lives of the people of Queens for more than four full decades and we cont inue to tr y our be st to bring some order to the hodgepo dge of Count y a nd Cit y

officialdom, as well as answering some basic questions about our borough – the most ethnically diverse place anywhere on Earth. We hope our effor t s pre sented on these pages help our readers cope. We believe our Official Guide is indispensable to anyone living in, doing business in, researching or even passing through Queens, New York. We use it as a regular phone director y to e ver y t h ing Queens, an elected-officials-names spell-checker, an atlas (community boards, legislative districts and much more), an emergency contact guide and a mini-encyclopedia/fact checker. It provides you with contact information for all the resources to unjangle your chaos, soothe your soul, enrich your mind and get you where you want to go. We keep a copy of The Queens Blue Book next to our desk at home and one in each of our offices - here in Queens, and in Huntington, where we guide the Long Islander newspaper group started by Walt Whitman in 1838. Inheriting the legacy of Whitman, one of t he greate st Amer ican chroniclers in our history, has given me new insight into publishing history and perspectives on the meaning of a newspaper. When we first published our official guide in 1991, the concept of a newspaper-produced reference book for its readers was unheard of. An ever-increasing number of newspapers throughout the Cit y, State and nation have followed our lead and our Official Guide concept is being embraced by newspaper publishers coast-to-coast. We have created the industry standard. It’s been imitated by many - but never equaled. The Tribune has pioneered much more than just the “Official Guide” concept. Community journalism on the east coast saw its

first four-color pages in 1988 in the Trib. The glossy covers first dressed the Trib way back in 1990; our Web site appeared over a dozen years ago and was followed by an “e-mall,” Queens’ first online shopping portal. We’re not stopping now. The Official Guide To Queens 2011, which you have in your hands – at least virtually, is just the beginning of the story. For the past seven years, the Tribune has been publishing a monthly magazine special — stitched and trimmed, bound in a glossy wrap with an in-depth Queens-focused theme. Watch for these monthly specials. They will inform, entertain and hopefully cause you to think. We’ll provide the official info and the unofficial dope. We’ll compile the information and then push the envelope. Our specials will be found throughout the year, on the coffee tables, office shelves and desks of the decision makers, party goers, businesspeople and families whose daily lives include the excitement of Queens. Watch for our super March 2011 Glossy Souvenir Edition celebrating the Queens Tribune’s 41st Annversary. There will be a lot more excitement in months ahead. Readers, grab your copy - the glossies move fast - or mail in your $12 subscription (see subscription form Page 76 - or find it on our website: www.queenstribune.com). You can go to our website and sign up online to receive a complete email version – including our advertisers which make this all possible. Advertisers, call (718) 357-7400, Ext. 132 to be part of the most exciting journalistic effort in the city’s most interesting and vital borough. Our editorial team has had every phone number, every fact and ever y comma checked and

double-checked. Still, we are certain that our readers will find something less than perfect. Please let us know. We want to print corrections, correct our online edition and update our files for next year’s Blue Book. You can send suggestions or corrections to: bluebook@queenstribune.com, or fax (718-357-9417) or mail them to the Tribune. Hundreds of people have contributed to this, the Queens Blue Book. It is the culmination of the effort of journalists, artists, salespersons, office staff and friends who have walked through our doors over the past 40 years. The marvelous staff, which has per fected this edition, has earned my gratitude and respect. Our readers, who throughout the year emailed, faxed and mailed us advice, suggestions, complaints, omissions and errors, and our advertisers, who loyally support our effort because they believe in the

Trib and they believe in Queens, are as much a part of our story as anyone else. There are also my partners: a dozen or so special people - family and friends - who believed in me and in this marvelous product and came up with the funding to enable me and my longtime friend and partner Gary Ackerman — you know the guy — to buy our paper back in 2002 and give it new life and a renewed mission chronicling and advocating for Queens, the most exciting place on Earth. Their commitment has enabled us to grow and explore new and exciting publishing avenues. And Lil, Allison and Lee, who provide me with the motivation and creative inspiration to help bring what we do at the Trib to a new level each and every year. To all of you, this Blue Book is yours; may it continue to fill your days with Queens information and color. MSchenkler@QueensTribune.com

1.877.4.SOV.LOAN | sovereignbank.com/lines Sovereign Bank is a Member FDIC and a wholly owned subsidiary of Banco Santander, S.A. © 2011 Sovereign Bank | Sovereign and Santander, its logo and FlexLock are registered trademarks of Sovereign Bank and Santander, respectively, or their affiliates or subsidiaries in the United States and other countries. *To get the FlexLock Home Equity Line of Credit Fixed Introductory APR and variable “go to” APR shown, you must apply between 1/1/11 and 3/31/11, must have or open a Sovereign checking or money market savings account, and use automatic payment from the qualifying account. The introductory APR will apply only during the first 6 billing cycles after your FlexLock line is opened. Thereafter, the APR, including the APR on any existing balance, will convert to the applicable variable “go to” APR. “Go to” APRs on FlexLock lines may vary monthly based on the latest U.S. Prime Rate as published in The Wall Street Journal as of the first business day of the month, plus a margin of 1.24% for lines of $100,000 - $750,000 (now 4.49% APR), a margin of 1.74% for lines of $25,000 - $99,999 (now 4.99% APR) or a margin of 1.99% for lines of $10,000 - $24,999 (now 5.24% APR). Maximum APR is 18%. Minimum APR is 3.24%. The variable APR may also increase if automatic payment from the qualifying account is discontinued. All APRs assume that your total mortgage loans, including your FlexLock line, do not exceed 80% of the value of your 1 - 4 family owner-occupied home in NY. Other rates and terms apply to co-ops. There is a $450 termination fee if you close the line within 36 months. An annual fee, if any, will be charged during the Draw Period, and will be $0, $25 or $50, depending on the Sovereign deposit account you maintain, and may change if you change the deposit account. The annual fee will equal $0 as long as you maintain a Sovereign Premier, Business Owner Premier, Premier Partnership, Team Member Private or Team Member Checking Account or Premier Money Market Savings Account. An annual fee of $25 will be charged as long as you maintain a Sovereign Preferred or Preferred Partnership Checking Account or Preferred Money Market Savings Account. An annual fee of $50 will be charged if you do not maintain one of the above deposit accounts. A $175 non-refundable fee will be charged if your property is held in trust. Mortgage recording tax will be paid by Sovereign, but must be reimbursed if the line is closed within 36 months. The $50 fixed rate lock fee for each lock-in request is waived through 3/31/11. Property insurance is, and flood insurance may be, required. Maximum line amount is $750,000. If your home is on the market for sale at the time of application, you are not eligible for this offer. Offer not available if you have received an introductory rate on a FlexLock line within 12 months of your application date. APRs and other terms accurate as of 1/1/11 and may change thereafter. Applications subject to approval. M8680_NY

Mapping Out The Borough

Queens Borough Hall Community Boards

ueens Borough Hall is located at 120-55 Queens Blvd. in Kew Gardens at Union Turnpike near the interchange between the Grand Central Parkway, Jackie Robinson Parkway and Van Wyck Expressway, adjacent to the Queens Criminal Courthouse. It is home to the offices of the Queens Borough President, the Queens offices of numerous city agencies and some court space. Previously the borough’s municipal offices were scattered throughout the borough before being brought together under one roof. The first Borough Hall was located in Long Island City at 10-63 Jackson Ave. at 49th Avenue, established when Queens became one of the five boroughs of New York City on Jan. 1, 1898. As the population expanded, the need for a dedicated civic building closer to the center of the borough became more apparent. The current Borough Hall opened on Dec. 4, 1940, and is located very close to the geographic center of the borough. It was built in just nine months during the Great Depression at the low cost of only $1.6 million. The architects, William Gehron and Andrew J. Thomas eliminated elevators in the plans to speed up construction. The long, low three-story brick building has a central entrance on Queens Boulevard marked by angular columns that represent the classical-style architecture popular during the era. It has become one of the most popular spots for marriages in the city, using the building’s small chapel, presided over by the deputy city clerk. This was the first dedicated borough hall in the nation and represented the growth of Queens County from rural villages to booming suburbs to a bustling urban center during the 20th Century.

Borough Hall Numbers

here are 14 community boards in Queens, coordinated by Deputy Borough President Barry Grodenchik. The boards act as liaisons between Queens citizens and the municipal agencies that serve them. Each board has up to 50 non-paid members who meet once a month to discuss community issues. All members are appointed by the Queens Borough President, with half of them nominated by City Council members. At presstime, Borough President Helen Marshall was scheduled to appoint new board members in April, so changes will be made to the following lists of members. All Census figures were compiled by the New York Department of City Planning. A reference map with all of the borough’s Board numbers is shown below, with unlabeled locator maps next to each individual board.

VALERIE BRATHWAITE NELSON of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, dated the 15 th day of December, 2010 and filed with the Complaint in the Office of the Queens County Clerk, in the City of Jamaica. The object of this action is to foreclose a mortgage upon the premises described below, executed by HWANG YOUNG KIM, CHANG KYU LEE A/K/A CHANG XYU LEE and HAE SOON YI dated the 17th day of March, 2006, to secure the sum of $600,000.00 and recorded at Instrument No. 2006000199491 in the Office of the City Register of the City of New York, on the 11th day of April, 2006; which mortgage was duly assigned by an assignment dated the 27th day of July, 2009, and sent for recording in the Office of the City Register of the City of New York.

PLEASE READ THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT CAREFULLY. YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTACT AN ATTORNEY OR YOUR LOCAL LEGAL AID OFFICE TO OBTAIN ADVICE ON HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF. SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE The state encourages you to become informed

LEGAL NOTICE about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the tollfree helpline maintained by the New York State Banking Department at 1-877-BANKNYS (1-877-226-5697) or visit the department’s website at WWW.BANKING.STATE.NY.US. FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any suchpromises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. § 1303 NOTICE NOTICE YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME If you do not respond to this summons and complaint by serving a copy of the answer on the attorney for the mortgage company who filed this foreclosure proceeding against you and filing the answer with the court, a default judgment may be entered and you can lose your home. Speak to an attorney or go to the court where your case is pending for further information on how to answer the summons and protect your property. Sending a payment to your mortgage company will not stop this foreclosure action. YOU MUST RESPOND BY SERVING A COPY OF THE ANSWER ON THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PLAINTIFF (MORTGAGE COMPANY) AND FILING THE ANSWER WITH THE COURT. DATED: January 3, 2011 Steven J. Baum, P.C., Attorney(s) For Plaintiff(s), 220 Northpointe Parkway Suite G, Amherst, NY 14228 The law firm of Steven J.

Queens’ Bravest

Fire Department

retired battalion chief of the FDNY once said it is not a firefighter’s willingness to enter a burning building that makes it special; it’s that person’s ability to acknowledge their own fear and still descend into the danger that earns them the distinction of Bravest. New York City’s Bravest are the elite of a special breed of civil servant; proud components of what is widely considered the best firefighting force in the world. There are nearly 60 firehouses in Queens, some more than 100 years old, and every one the anchor of its neighborhood. Each uniformed member – from the officers down to the probies – has sworn to protect the communities they adopt as their second home. Active 24 hours a day, seven days a week, these quarters are also sources of comfort and pride for residents of the community. Majestic engine rigs and ladder trucks tucked inside brick buildings with towering cherry-red garage doors are emblematic of the daily service provided by the dedicated men and women of the Fire Department of the City of New York. Below is a list of Queens’ engine companies, ladder companies and battalions. Tribune Photo by Donna Lawlor

Park It On The Green Queens Greenspots & Playgrounds Queens’ 400 parks, playgrounds and fields provide our borough with more than 7,000 acres of green space.

Alley Pond Park Extending from Little Neck Bay to Springfield Boulevard and Union Turnpike, this 657-acre park is the second largest in Queens. It consists of an environmental center, baseball and football fields, hiking trails, a dog run and first come, first serve adventure course. The origin of “The Alley” name is still debated, but it is rumored that travelers – such as George Washington – passed through the park on their way to Long Island.

Astoria Park Although widely known for its beautiful pool, the oldest and largest in the city, Astoria Park offers more than aquatic pleasures. Outdoor tennis courts, a track, a bandstand, multiple trails, basketball courts and playgrounds lure visitors from the five boroughs and beyond. Sitting on the edge of the East River and resting between the Triborough Bridge and Hell Gate Bridge, the park offers shoreline sights and sounds that make the benches along its perimeter popular spots year-round. Bowne Park This Flushing park is bounded by 29th and 32nd Avenues, and by 155th and 159th Streets. Featuring basketball, bocce courts and playgrounds, it is named in honor of Walter Bowne (1770-1846), who served as a State Senator and as New York City Mayor. Mr. Bowne’s summer residence stood on this property until March 1925, when fire destroyed the building.

Flushing Meadows-Corona Park At 1,255 acres, Flushing Meadows-Corona Park is the second largest park in the City and host to the USTA U.S. Open and the New York Mets in Citi Field. The park also houses the Queens Museum of Art, Queens Zoo, Hall of Science and Queens Theatre. The site of two 20th century World’s Fairs attended by millions of people, Flushing Meadows Corona Park continues to draw and delight visitors. As the largest park in Queens, it offers plenty of space for whatever your recreational desires may be—baseball, soccer, tennis, cricket, et cetera. Discover the stunning recreation complex, zoo, art museum, botanical garden, skate park, science museum and baseball stadium. Explore one of the park’s six playgrounds, take a stroll along the Flushing Bay Promenade or launch your model airplane. Flushing Meadows Corona Park has room for all your active pursuits! Forest Park With more than 500 acres to romp through, Forest Park offers trails for horseback riding and walking or jogging. The Bandshell, originally constructed in 1898 and recon-

Kissena Park This quaint refuge in Flushing is packed with recreational opportunities. In the early morning, it’s a prime spot for bocce, tennis or Tai Chi. Then, in the afternoon, golfers head to the Kissena Park Course and cyclists tackle the Velodrome on Booth Memorial Avenue and Parsons Boulevard. Kissena Lake was refurbished several years ago and now the looping path around it is often filled with joggers, walkers and fishermen. Jamaica Bay Park This 9,000-acre bird sanctuary is known for some of best bird-watching on the eastern seaboard. A one-and-ahalf mile trail weaves through the salt marshes; the wildlife refuge is part of the Gateway National Recreation Area.

Juniper Valley Park This park became part of the park system after the City acquired it to settle a tax dispute with Arnold Rothstein, most famous for accusations that he rigged the 1919 World Series. The 55-acre plot of land earned its name from the nearby Juniper Valley Swamp and in the early 1940’s the bog was transformed into a recreational destination with new fields and paths. Today, the Juniper Park Civic Association maintains the park and lobbies for its needs.

Queens’ Silver Lining

Senior Centers

Life really can start at 60. With over 50 senior centers located in Queens, it's easier than ever for one's golden years to be full of exciting activities, from biking and jogging to playing the slots in Atlantic City. Just under one-third of city residents over 60 reside in Queens, and the majority of those are not bound by mobility or self-care limitations, according to the 2000 census. Moreover, several studies also show that seniors today are more healthy and active than in the past - many are playing tennis and pool instead of CB 1 BFFY-Dellamonica Senior Center 23-56 Broadway, Astoria (718) 626-1500 BFFY Steinway Senior Center 20-43 Steinway St., Astoria (718) 728-8473 HANAC Archbishop Iakovos Senior Center 32-06 21st St., Astoria (718) 777-5505 HANAC Lindsay Senior Center 29-19 24th Ave., Astoria (718) 626-3035 HANAC Ravenswood Senior Center 34-35A 12th St., LIC (718) 786-1550 JASA Astoria 27-35 Crescent St., LIC (718) 728-9200

just pinochle and cribbage. And for seniors who need a little bit of help, centers provide a wide variety of services, such as arranging transportation and meals for homebound residents. Some even offer assistance with legal issues and taxes.

Adult Day Care Programs For older people in frail health, managing at home is often a struggle that may lead to institutionalization. There is an alternative enabling them to retain their independence and remain in the community. Adult Care Programs provide medical assessments, rehabilitation and counseling services. These activities all take place in a friendly, social setting, helping to counteract the isolation and depression suffered by so many elderly coping with disabilities. The criteria for eligibility, fees, and specific areas served vary from program to program. For more information on Adult Day Care programs call the Queens Borough President's Office at (718) 286-2680.

As of 2010, there are 64 BIDs in neighborhoods throughout New York City – 12 in Queens – which make up the largest and most comprehensive network of Business Improvement Districts in the nation. The City’s 64 BIDs annually contribute close to $100 million worth of services in neighborhoods across the five boroughs. The number of BIDS citywide is expected to increase with new potential BIDS coming together in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Staten Island. A Business Improvement District is a formal organization made up of property owners and commercial tenants who are dedicated to promoting business development and improving an area’s quality of life. BIDs deliver supplemental services such as sanitation and maintenance, public safety and visitor services, marketing and promotional programs, capital improvements and beautification for the area – all funded by a special assessment paid by property owners within the district. Since its inception over 20 years ago, the City’s BID program has contributed over $930 million in supplemental services to invigorate our neighborhoods.

used by commuters living and working in and around Downtown Jamaica. The Port Washington branch, the only one that does not stop in Jamaica, is a primary mode of transit for many commuters from Flushing, Auburndale, Bayside, Douglaston and Little Neck, while lesser-used, but still important stations serve neighborhoods in Southeast Queens like Hollis, Queens Village and Bellerose along the Hempstead Branch, St. Albans along the West Hempstead Branch and Locust Manor, Laurelton and Rosedale along the Far Rockaway Branch, which terminates in Far Rockaway at

The Long Island Rail Road, which has the distinction of being the busiest commuter rail line in the country and the oldest still operating under its original name, serves more than a quarter-million travelers a day between Manhattan and Montauk. Most of those commuters come from Nassau and Suffolk Counties and use Queens as a viaduct to Manhattan and Brooklyn. 23 of the LIRR’s 124 stations are in the borough, and it is the only way Queens residents east of Flushing and Jamaica can get around by train. The LIRR’s Jamaica Station is the fourth busiest transit hub in the metropolitan area and third busiest in the city. Jamaica Station is served by all but one of the railroad’s branches and includes transfers to three subway lines, more than a dozen bus lines, and the AirTrain light rail to JFK Airport. The station is also

STR

T hough subways and buses crisscross the borough and are the most common form of public transportation for those living in Queens, they are not the only modes that serve the 2.3 million of us.

Ride The Rails the Queens/Nassau border. From those stations, the LIRR’s second terminal at Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn is also accessible. Along the Port Washington branch is the Mets: Willets Point station, serving Citi Field and the U.S. Tennis Center, home of the US Open. Within what the LIRR calls the “City Terminal Zone,” commuters often shell out the extra money at Woodside, Forest Hills and Kew Gardens for what is often a quicker trip into Manhattan than taking the subway. For information on exact schedules, call (718) 217-5477 or go to www.mta.info/lirr.

Take To The Street

Get On The Bus bus is in motion. Once the bus has stopped, you’ll see a green light over the rear door to indicate that it can be opened. In some buses these doors swing open automatically once you press the yellow tape strip on the doors. If you pay your fare with a MetroCard, you may transfer free from bus to subway, subway to bus or bus to bus within two hours of the time you pay your fare. Unlimited Ride MetroCard includes all transfers, at no charge. If you pay your fare with coins, you may transfer free between buses with intersecting routes. You must ask the bus driver for a transfer when you pay your fare. The transfer is a single-use MetroCard with a black strip along the bottom. When you catch your connecting bus, insert the transfer into the bus fare box — black stripe to the right side. Transfers are good for two hours from the time you pay your fare. For your late night safety and convenience: Request-A-Stop bus service allows you to request to be let off at a location that is not a bus stop and is available from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., seven days a week. Simply inform the bus operator where you want to get off.

us fare is $2.25; payable with a Metro Card or coins (no pennies). People 65 years or older and people with qualifying disabilities who show proper forms of identification (including Reduced-Fare MetroCard or a Medicare card) are eligible for reduced fares. Bus stops are located at street corners and have a tall, round signs with a bus emblem and route number. Some stops have bus shelters. All NYC Transit buses are accessible to customers who use wheelchairs. Certain bus seats are reserved for people who use wheelchairs and must be relinquished upon the bus operator’s request. These seats are clearly marked. Although some seats near the front do not have to be given to elderly persons, it is considerate to do so. Buses stop about every two or three blocks. Buses marked “Limited” make fewer stops. Push one of the tape strips located between the windows or stop buttons on the grab bars of the newest buses in order to signal the driver to stop. You should exit at the rear door to keep out of the way of people trying to board the bus. Do not stand in the stairwell while the

Municipal Parking Spots

n Queens, many residents rely on their cars to get about town for groceries, to visit friends, to go to work and more, so finding street parking is often a challenge. But with ample municipal parking lots, finding parking spaces in this borough is a little easier. Also, since 2005, parking meters and MuniMeters no longer have to be paid on Sundays. The Department of Transportation is in the process of changing signs throughout the city to reflect this new parking rule but it will take some time before the thousands of parking signs can be updated. Despite what is stated on these signs, motorists can park at meters on Sundays without paying. Most municipal parking spaces have been supplied with Muni-Meters, replacing 20th Century coin meters, and offering a new-millennium method of paid parking. Muni-Meter Payment Coin Payment 1) Insert one quarter for each 20-minute unit of time desired, and indicate space number, if required. 2) Press green button to end purchase and take receipt. 3) Display receipt on vehicle dashboard.

Page 68 Tribune Jan. 27 - Feb. 2, 2011 • www.queenstribune.com

Parking Card Payment 1) Insert Card and indicate space number, if required. 2) Press blue button to purchase time units. 3) Press green button to end purchase and take receipt 4) Display receipt on vehicle dashboard. Cards are available in $15, $20, $15, and $50 denominations, and may be purchased by calling (718) 786-6334 or (718) 786-7042, or by writing to NYC DOT, Pre-Paid Parking Unit, 3402 Queens Blvd., Long Island City, NY 11101. Credit Card Payment 1) Insert your card and purchase desired amount of parking time by pressing the blue button. 2) Press the green button to begin the authorization. If your transaction is approved, a receipt will be generated. If it is not approved, the meter will display “transaction denied.” You should call your card issuer to find out why. 3) Place your receipt on the drivers’ side of your dashboard so that it displays the entire receipt. 4) If your card gets stuck in the machine or does not come out on its own, you can use the red “cancel” knob to eject the card. If your card does not eject, call 311 for assistance. A technician will come to help you. If you cannot wait for your card, call your financial institution and cancel your credit card immediately.

Our Airports Take Off

An Overview Of Queens’ Fields

ew York is the largest city in the United States and the self-dubbed the “Capital of the World.” And as an integral influence in fashion, technology and all global and national industries, it is no wonder why over 48.7 million tourists flocked to New York in 2010. And many of those tourists first stepped foot in New York by way of Queens. This borough is home to two of the three major metropolitan airports – John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport (Newark is in New Jersey). Two years ago, the airports signed a 99-year lease agreement ensuring their continued dominance as a hub for dozens of airlines, their commitment to growth and improvements and their commitment to Queens. As part of the new lease, some $100 million will be invested over the next five years to improve roads, allay noise concerns and reduce emissions in and around the airports.

John F. Kennedy International Airport Transit System opened to link JFK’s central terminals with the Long Island Rail Road and the New York City subway system in Jamaica and Howard Beach.

OPERATED BY John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is operated by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey under a lease with the City of New York since June 1, 1947.

CENTRAL TERMINAL AREA The Central Terminal Area consists of nine airline passenger terminals surrounded by a dual ring of peripheral taxiways. (Terminal 6 has been closed and will be demolished to make way for the expansion of JetBlue’s Terminal 5). Initially 655 acres, the Central Terminal Area was enlarged to 880 acres by relocation of the taxiways to provide space needed for expansion of the passenger terminals. To further assist travelers, a new color-coding system (green, blue, orange and red) is used on all signs relating

LOCATION JFK is located in the southeastern section of Queens County on Jamaica Bay. It is 15 miles by highway from midtown Manhattan. The Van Wyck Expressway terminates in the airport. SIZE The airport consists of 4,930 acres, including 880 acres in the central terminal area. It has more than 30 miles of roadways and is 12.7 feet above sea level. HISTORY Construction began in April 1942, when the City of New York contracted for the placing of hydraulic fill over the marshy tidelands on the site of Idlewild Golf Course. Planned at first for 1,000 acres, the airport grew to five times that size. First commercial flights began on July 1, 1948. The airport was formally dedicated as New York International Airport on July 31, 1948. It was re-dedicated on Dec. 24, 1963, as John F. Kennedy International Airport, following action of the Mayor and Council of the City of New York and a resolution of the Commissioners of the Port Authority.

OPERATED BY LaGuardia Airport (LGA) has been operated by The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey under a lease with the City of New York since June 1, 1947. LOCATION LGA is on Flushing Bay and borders Bowery Bay in East Elmhurst. It is eight miles from midtown Manhattan, adjacent to the Grand Central Parkway.

PARKING The airport’s total of nearly 15,000 public parking spaces includes the employee lot, two 1,400-space parking garages, the long-term lot and an additional 3,200 spaces in the central terminal area. In response to the increased demand for parking, new parking facilities have been constructed and are presently in use. Additional parking garages are also planned. JFK is also home to a “cell phone lot” near the airport’s entrance. The free 373-space lot is used by people picking up passengers to wait for the people they’re picking up to deplane and get their baggage and be ready for pickup rather than drive to the airport, pay for parking and wait in the terminal. The lot aims to give people a more comfortable place to wait and control traffic in the airport.

SIZE The airport consists of 680 acres and 72 aircraft gates. It is 12.7 feet above sea level.

and 1992. Two new terminals were constructed in 1983 and 1992. CENTRAL TERMINAL BUILDING The Central Terminal Building was dedicated on April 17, 1964, and serves most of the airport’s scheduled domestic airlines. It is 1,300 feet long and 180 feet wide, with 750,000 square feet of floor space. Originally constructed at a cost of $36 million, the six-block-long structure consists of a four-story central section, two three-story wings and four concourses leading to 40 aircraft gate positions. The Central Terminal Building completed a $340 million expansion and modernization in mid-2000s. The centerpiece, a $47 million project for a complete redevelopment of the center section, included new elevators and escalators to accommodate the elderly and disabled as well as a new shopping concourse.

HISTORY The site was first occupied by Gala Amusement Park. Transformed in 1929 into a 105-acre private flying field, it was first named Glenn H. Curtiss Airport and later North Beach Airport. Taken over by New York City, it –Facts and figures courtesy of The Port Authority of was enlarged by purchase of adjoining land and by fillNew York and New Jersey ing in 357 acres of waterfront along the east side. Ground was broken on Sept. 9, 1937, for a new airport, which was built jointly by the City and the Federal Works Progress Administration. It was dedicated on Oct. 15, 1939, as New York City Municipal Airport. On Nov. 2, 1939, the name was changed to New York Municipal Airport— LaGuardia Field.

Tribune Photo by Ira Cohen

In 2002, Helen Marshall became the 18th Borough President of Queens — the first African American and the second woman to assume the post of the highest elected official in the borough. And for this history-making woman, service to the community is nothing new. Marshall was the Councilmember representing the 21st District (Corona, East Elmhurst, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Flushing Meadows-Corona Park and LaGuardia Airport) for 10 years before taking on her current position at Borough Hall. She was the first minority and first woman to be elected by that district in 1991, and before leaving, she served as chair of the Higher Education Committee and was a member of the Housing & Buildings, Environmental Protection and Women’s Issues Committees. She also was co-chair of the Council’s Black and Latino Caucus.Before her election to the City Council, Marshall was elected in 1982 to the first of five terms in the New York State Assembly. For eight years, prior to her election to the Assembly, she was an early childhood teacher. She left teaching in 1969 to become the first director of the Langston Hughes Library — a post she held for five years. She also was director of the Elmcor Testing Assessment and Placement Program for eight years. In 1975, she became a Democratic National Committee Committeewoman and was elected in 1974 as a Democratic District Leader. She was also a parent activist in the City’s public schools for 15 years, a member of Community Board 3 for 13 years and a founder of the Queens County Overall Economic Development Corporation. Marshall is a graduate of the City’s public school system and has a bachelor’s degree in education from Queens College. She has also taken graduate courses in education at the Bank Street Claire Shulman College, and public administration at Long Island University. She Feb. 12, 1986-Jan. 3, 2002 is married to Donald Marshall and is the proud mother of two children, Donald Jr., an electrical engineer, and Agnes Marie, who is employed in the fashion industry. Marshall also has two grandchildren, Chandler and Chasen, the children of Donald and Charlene.
