Central Queens is home to the most diverse demographic makeup in
all of New York City and perhaps the world. The decommissioned LIRR
infrastructure serves as a dynamic medium for social interaction,
food production, environmental remediation, education and local
economic development initiatives. Our recommendation emphasizes
urban agriculture, active design, physical access, multi-modal
transportation, wa-ter, renewable energy, and waste management
systems. Community participation via outreach will bring these
interventions to life.
For the Ozone Park Station, we propose the Sustainable Living
Institute, which is a learn+work cooperative that includes a
community kitchen with cooking classes, sustainable technology
classes and flexible space for health and fitness activities. Local
schools and organizations can integrate educational and workforce
development into their curricula in tandem with the evolving food
and transportation facilities.
