Week in Review

It was a busy week for news in northeast Queens.  

Community Board 11 voted down a proposal from the city’s School Construction Authority to build a new school along 48th Avenue in Bayside, although the City Council ultimately has the final say.  

Then, Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott chided CB 11 Chairman Jerry Iannece in a letter after SCA representatives were threatened after the board’s meeting. And a Bayside man was arrested on assault charges in a Long Island incident.
