U.S. Rep. Grace Meng, Council Member Shekar Krishnan, community members and accessibility activists gathered Monday morning to celebrate the completion of a long-awaited ADA-compliant ramp at the Jackson Heights Post Office, which was installed after years of advocacy from community members and elected officials.
The federally operated post office, located at 78-02 37th Ave., had long posed challenges for residents with mobility needs, preventing individuals with disabilities and parents with strollers from using the building’s main entrance.
