Avella, Braunstein to Host Airplane Noise Town Hall

Representatives from the FAA will attend the March 14 meeting.

State Sen. Tony Avella, D-Bayside, and state Assemblyman Edward Braunstein, D-Bayside, will host a town hall on March 14 to discuss the ongoing airplane noise over northeast Queens.

Community leaders and residents have been complaining since last summer of constant airplane noise over Bayside and Douglaston following the implementation of a new flight route out of LaGuardia Airport.

Avella has held two rallies protesting the flight pattern and elected officials representing northeast Queens met with the Federal Aviation Administration earlier this year to discuss the issue.

The town hall will run from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Bay Terrace Jewish Center, which is located at 13-00 209th St.

Residents will be given an opportunity to voice their concerns about the flight pattern during the meeting. The FAA will attend the town hall.

The local, fresh fruit and vegetable market was a worthwhile addition to Douglaston. Obviously, itRead More did not receive the support of the community, at least not enough to make it a successful venture. This is sad. Every Sunday, rain or shine, I would stop at the market and purchase something. My favorite was the bakery stand. Often, when I stopped in the afternoon I would get two FREE French breads with my purchase. Parking was never a problem. The vendors where friendly and very informative. It was a perfect setting for the picturesque nature of this community. Too bad it is not returning.

Unfortunately, according to the Douglas Manor Association, the fresh fruit and vegetable market willRead More NOT return this year. No specific reason was given other than this was at the initiative of the merchants or the market's organizers. And this..., just as we were beginning to enjoy the Long Island wines and the $34 per pound skirt steak, ordered two months in advance.
