When you take the 7 train which transfers you from Flushing, Queens to Manhattan, look out the right side of your train near 33rd St. Station in Sunnyside. You will see so much graffiti on the buildings along the 7 train track. Numerous buildings are covered all over with graffiti, including the areas of steep and high terraces, tops of the buildings, broken windows, and every else where that graffiti artists are able to draw.
But Sunnyside neighborhoods do not welcome graffiti artists. The Sunnyside United Neighborhood Network is seeking to ban graffiti works and to clean up them in area of Sunnyside. “There is a lot of graffiti that has crept back into our neighborhood,” said Julie Story, a Sunnyside resident. “The vandals must know that illegal graffiti is not welcome in Sunnyside!!”

3 policemen stopped all passengers and cars crossing the street in the area of Fresh Meadows yesterday night. It was rigth after I saw many “wanted” posters on the street near the subway station. The policemen made each driver in the car roll the windows down and gave to them a card. This card showed a picture of a fugitive who the policemen were looking for.
Policemen in Queens are diligently struggling to find Queens’ 10 most wanted fugitives, described as ruthless men who knew their victims. The 10 stand accused of society’s worst crimes, including murder and serious assault. One case goes back 21 years, but police continue to seek the public’s help in tracking down and prosecuting these individuals. It is believed that some may have fled the country while at least two have been spotted in Queens, but escaped before police could nab them. For more informations, go to the website of Ciy of New York Police Department http://www.longislandexchange.com/nypd_most_wanted.html
  About 200 cars from Queens College come down to the local streets, which cover 10 blocks around Queens College, to find street parking every morning.  It looks so dangerous watching our children walking down the street. A man who lives in Flushing said that he is concerned about his children being hit car.             Â
  There are several schools including two elementary schools, PS219 and PS499, in the area of Queens College which is located in Flushing.  About 600 kids in this area are passing by Queens College to get to their schools every day. Because of the limited parking space in Queens College, such young and inexperienced drivers drive out of Queens College to the local area, and these drivers even do illegal u-turns in the street when our children are walking down the street.

It’s massive in size, it’s complex and it’s scary. So,we residents, within the boundaries of the “Jamaica Plan”, voice our concerns.
The Department of City Planning has proposed the Jamaica Plan rezoning which covers 368 blocks and is aimed at stimulating new housing and office development in Downtown Jamaica while attempting to preserve most of the surrounding area’s residential atmosphere. But, residents fear rezoning plans may force them to lose their homes or a neighborhood next to them, seriously affecting their quality of life.Residents feel left out of the loop and demand the project be stopped. Information on the plan can be found on the Department of City Planning’s Web site at www.nyc.gov/dcp.
