5th avenue traffic worsens
7:28 AM... For the past fourteen years residents of 5th avenue in our neighborhood have had to endure an onslaught of Commercial and Vehicular Traffic. As you can see from this photo things have deteriorated. For the past month between the hours of 6:00 AM and 10:00 AM, Tractor Trailers such as this one have been using our RESIDENTIAL, 27 foot wide, minus 7 - 8 feet for parked cars as a Conduit into surrounding area. These 18 Wheelers shake foundations, set off car alarms, set off some home alarms. and most of all put our families in harms way. Yet Maura McCarthy, Commissioner of Queens Department of Transportation, along with Gene Kelty, Chairman of Community Board 7 feel that these Trucks, along with the other Commercial Vehicles and the 107 cars per hour (33% of which are speeding, as per DOT counts) are not a DANGER, JUST A MERE "INCONVENIENCE". ?????

Community Activism
So I met a Woman the other day complaining about the amount of traffic on 5th avenue and the insane amount of speeding trucks. She went on to tell me about how she has been trying for years to do something about it , writing letters, calling people, all to no avail. When I asked her if she was a member of the Malba Gardens Civic Association , Silence. When I asked her if she recieved the notice about the CB 7 meeting on the issue she responded "Oh yes that was an important meeting " I hear alot of people showed up, my neighbor was there. When I asked "Where were you?, Silence....???????????????????????
