I don’t support the project as it is. Each NYC neighborhood has it’s own characters that is important to maintain for the benefit of the city as a whole. It allows residents to find where they fit most and establish roots. This scale of project is good for a city center or downtown. It’s not good for a quaint, overall low-rise neighborhood that people move to for a sense of community, local foods and shops, and a break from the high rise and bustle of Manhattan. We see how the high rises by the water are poorly constructed and floundering. Projects like this should match the neighborhood. 3-4 stories at most to keep the vibe and allow in sun, have some influence from the old school architecture rather than pure modernism, and be local driven rather than luxury or chain driven as this one is. Build something small, with Astorian architecture influence (brick or dark stone with beautiful windows and moldings or detailing), and large green space—separate for dogs and people. That will attract people and be useful. But it will not make you filthy rich. And if that’s what you want, pls go elsewhere. We have plenty of hardware stores, urgent cares, and even food. We don’t need to become every bland, nameless city in America with the same mass chain shops, cheaply constructed high rise central with no sun, and a lack of personality and diversify of lifestyle.

Why not focus on revitalizing the Steinway Street retail strip that is already there rather than adding more retail stores. This project doesn’t make sense. There are vacant storefronts on Steinway St. How tall are the proposed buildings? Two or three stories fit in the area not mega towers. Put in a park not a Disney field. Why is a rep from Queens County Farm commenting on then project. That institution is not in our neighborhood. As far as the Frank Sinatra School- that building blocks a lot is sunshine from the street. Not in favor of this project
