Week In Review

It was a busy week in Douglaston.

On Monday, Patch spoke to elected officials, community leaders and residents to gather their thoughts on the death of Osama bin Laden.

That night, Community Board 11 approved a permit that would allow for a green market to be operated in the traffic circle at Douglaston's Long Island Rail Road station.
