Out of sheer curiosity, has Queens Village been rezoned?Not yet, I think, though there has been a lot of activity in the surrounding areas. At all events, I would hope that density limits adopted make sense especially on the major thoroughfares and near rail. IIRC, my old neighbourhood, Cambria Heights, was rezoned to considerably more restrictive zoning preventing any hopes of being anything more dense than one and two family homes. You recall correctly. Also, there was Laurelton, St Albans, and Hollis rezoning too. I think that Laurelton rezoning leaves some avenues for development, albeit nothing substantial. They're really limiting their futures, alas. It depends on the corridor that one travels. This is a good point. I was unclear about the 'belt'. Actually, I was thinking of the Clearview alignment as a spur off the LIE line to Hillside Avenue. Oh, I see now. Still, I'd rather leave that for a possible Hillside Av branch extension. I don't think the apartments and condos near Bay Terrace are so deserving... It's relatively dense, co-ops too; I think the only condominiums are Bay Club and the Bay Terrace Townhome Condos. But they like that QM2/2A up there, even if it costs an arm and two legs. The silly MTA takeover was really a lost opportunity to cut a lot of these now-MTAB express routes. Now we'll have to do it by stepping up fares, hopefully radically. Maybe if there's Ft Totten development someday, although I doubt it will come to pass. |
