The City Council passed the Bruckner Boulevard rezoning proposal 48-0 Wednesday afternoon, making way for the four-site development in Throggs Neck.

Physically absent from the council’s stated meeting but tuning in remotely, Councilmember Marjorie Velázquez urged lawmakers to pass the proposal Wednesday afternoon, saying it has “tremendous wins for the community,” particularly seniors, veterans, workers and those in need of affordable housing.
