Woodside Residents Step Up to Challenge

The name of a War Veteran who represented the Sunnyside areain the State Senate in the 1950s became a fixture at the intersectionof 41st Street and 48th Avenue last Saturday.

A sign proclaiming “Carlo A. Lanzillotti Place” was unveiledduring a special ceremony attended by the honoree’s three daughters,City Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer, Community Board 2Chair Joseph Conley, United 40s Civic Association President DonMcCallian and others. He lived near the intersection.

(continued on page 5)Don McCallian, Norma Beanco Lanzillotti, Martha Lanzillotti, CB2 Chairman Joe Conley, LeonoreLanzillotti and Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer.

On July 23rd, CM Van Bramerand Congressman Joe Crowleyjoined community leaders and lo-cal residents to call on officials toenforce the “No Truck Route”along 65th Place in Woodside.

Recently, residents along 65thPlace have come forward to VanBramer’s office citing a signifi-cant an increase in noise pollu-tion and smog caused by trucktraffic along the residential corri-dor which houses numeroussingle-family homes and mul-tiple-family dwellings.

During the press conference,numerous local residents pointedout structural damage sustained bytheir properties cause by the vibra-tions from large trucks rumblingdown the two-way street, trafficcongestion, a decline in air quality

and an increase in noise pollution.Currently, according to the De-partment of Transportation (DOT),65th Place is a designated “NoTruck Route” but lacks the neces-sary signage needed to make trucktraffic aware.

“These trucks that are barrelingthrough this quiet residential neigh-borhood are not only utilizing thisroute illegally but they are also pre-senting a serious hazard to the qual-ity of air for the people ofWoodside,” said the Council Mem-ber. “Enforcement must be upheldin order to put an end to this issueand the Department of Transporta-tion can help us address this imme-diately by installing the propersignage to deter trucks from comingthrough this quiet neighborhood.”

Earlier this year, Van Bramer

contacted the DOT requestingthat “No Truck Route” signs beinstalled along 65th Place be-tween Queens Boulevard andMaurice Avenue. Van Brameralso requested that the 108th Pre-cinct increase traffic enforce-ment along this quiet residentialcorridor to ensure truck traffic

and noise pollution is directedaway from local streets.

“The fact that this is already a‘No Truck Route’, yet trucks con-tinue to plague local residents issimply unacceptable,” said Con-gressman Crowley. “In addition tonoise and congestion, this trafficalso pollutes the air and poses a

serious safety risk to residents. Isupport Councilman Van Bramer’scall for the City to install signagethat makes it clear that trucks arenot allowed on this street, as wellas increased enforcement by au-thorities. We must take every steppossible to make our communityan even better place to live.”

Great Wall Of Woodside, Phase II Completedby David Rosasco

On Saturday, July 21st, theWoodside Neighborhood Associa-tion (WNA) along with 30 volun-teers completed the north part of theGreat Wall of Woodside Project.The project was spread over threephases, the first being the south wall,which was completed in the middle

of June 2012. Recognizing the im-portance for the residents, especiallythe young Woodsiders, to learn aboutserving and leadership, the northwall involved many more individu-als who stepped up, some during theHoly Month of Ramadan, to assist inthe final push to complete Phase II.

The wall itself had for many years become a symbol of urban decline,with graffiti defacing the surface, and frustrating many who attemptedto preserve the community free from vandalism. In May 2012, the WNAworked with the LIRR to come up with a fun community project thatmight inspire the local residents to work together towards creating athing of beauty and linking the wall to the other greening and treeplanting projects ongoing in the area. Thus the idea of the Great Wall ofWoodside was born.

A dedication for the wall, including to whom it will be dedicated, anda commemoration for the individuals who rose to the challenge and paidfor all of the paint supplies will be held as part of Phase III, which willbe announced at a later date.

Tree Care Projects Continue In WoodsideMultiple Organization Pursue

Practical Environmental Projects

by David Rosasco

On Sunday, July 22nd, the Woodside Neighborhood Association(WNA), together with the Partnership for Parks, TreesNY and TheNew York City Parks Department launched yet another tree careproject for the new trees planted under the Greening Western QueensProject, an ongoing program of tree planting and care for the life of thetrees. The day’s focus was on proper watering techniques, as well asfurther mulching, weeding and tree pit cultivation vital to the success-ful growth of street trees, which are under far more stresses than treesin parks or forests.

Kyle Richard of the Partnership for Parks has spearheaded the projectsince its inception in 2011, Yi-Wen Lin of the Parks Departmentcoordinates the supplies and provides expertise on forestry issues whileSam Bishop, Educational Director of TreesNY focuses on selectingspecies and training local residents on proper tree care.

Members of the Woodside Neighborhood Association have alreadybeen trained by this coalition of specialists in trees, and on Sunday, 25volunteers joined in the program to target the new street trees along thebusy intersections of Woodside Avenue. Under the guidance of theprofessionals, water was taken from the hydrants and placed into thebags around the trees. New trees need about 15 to 20 gallons of water aweek, so the message to the residents of Woodside is if you see a streettree, especially a newly planted one where the tree bag is empty and thesoil is dry, try giving it some care.

Typical new tree pit with flowers, planted byNelson & Elba Rodriguez.
