At the Queens Community 5 Board meeting last week, officials from both the New York City Dept. of Transportation (NYC DOT) and the New York City Department of Design and Construction (NYC DDC) spoke on the Uniform Land Use Review Process (ULURP) currently amending the city map to remove an approximately 4,000-square-foot section of 57th Drive, just West of 59th Street, which is no longer being used as a street.
Robert White, a consulting city planner with AKRF, gave a brief presentation to inform board members and public attendees on both the environmental reports on the section of the road, as well as describe what the city considers to be a “paper street.”
