Vandals Torch 4 Vehicles In Whitestone, Queens « CBS New York- News, Sports, Weather, Traffic and the Best of NY

The following link shows a very disturbing trend that is escalating in what once was our quiet enclave. A couple of weeks back someone in a Toyota Rav 4 banged on my front door with such force that I feared it would break in(at the same time all my perimeter security lighs as well as my neighbors went on). I ran outside as my family dialed 911, I saw a hooded person run into a Silver Rav 4. They then proceeded to race up the block make a uturn and come barreling back toward me screaming out the window. Two nights later at 2AM someone in a small white car was parked in front of my neighbors house screaming "oh yeah , oh yeah", Around the same time one of my other neighbors had his car keyed in his driveway.

Several other neighbors have had their cars keyed, mirrors broken, bikes stolen out of their backyards.

Now they are torching cars in Driveways almost setting homes Ablaze as families sleep.

Thank God no one was injured this time around. We request once again that our neighborhood get the police attention it deserves. Wheter it be via more patrols, or what should have happened and has been repeatedly requested a long time ago, a new Police Precint. Something must be done before a tragedy occurs.

THESE CRIMINALS WILL BE CAUGHT, FORTUNATELY SEVERAL HOMES IN THE AREA HAVE SECURITY CAMERAS. PLEASE BE VIGILANT AND KEEP OUR EYES OPEN FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL OUR FAMILIES.

Forcina and Milano

I have had the fortune to meet two local candidates that are on opposite sides of the "Party" politics. Yes one a Democrat and the other "Oh My" a Republican,both men seem genuine and seem to be going into politics for the right reasons. Elio is a local Whitestone Attorney and Dr. Milano an Emergency room Doctor who seem to want what is best for Our Country and our Neighborhoods.

It was a pleasure meeting both men and discussing the issues concerning our neighborhood. We welcome dialogue with any other candidates and feel good about these two.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

IF THEY PERMANENTLY CLOSE THE THIRD AVENUE EXIT, IT WILL REDUCE TRAFFIC FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. MAYBE, JUST MAYBE BRINGING UP PROPERTY VALUE FOR US ALL WHILE SECURING THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN. ACCORDING TO HISTORY, THE HARDER IT IS TO GET INTO A COMMUNITY, THE MORE DESIREABLE IT BECOMES, AND HENCE, HIGHER PROPERTY VALUE.

JUST A THOUGHT.

SHATTERING RECORDS

FOR THE PAST TWO EVENINGS, BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 8:10 AND 8:30 THERE HAS BEEN A CONSTANT PROCESSION OF CARS TRAVELING EAST ON 5TH AVENUE AT A RATE OF A CAR PER SECOND.

YET MY DEAR NEIGHBORS, THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE ACCORDING TO THE DOT, JUST A MERE INCONVENIENCE.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahh our elected Politicians

How quickly or maybe not so quickly do they forget who they work for. The people that put them in office, yes , the voters not the corporations.

Francis Lewis Park Playground

As many of you know, yesterdays unofficial twister hit our park pretty hard. The parks department is well aware of the situation and promises to move quickly.

On another note, the MTABT has informed us that they are ready to move the playground to its new location as soon as the Parks Department is ready. We are recommending that everyone call their elected officials and contact the Parks Department (311) in order to expedite the project.

THANK YOU TO: Ray Webb, Manager of the MTABT Whitestone Bridge and his crew for expeditiously removing a fallen tree across the service road of the Whitestone Expressway. This alleviated a traffic mess as well as what could have been a dangerous situation. KUDOS...

LEAD IN FRANCIS LEWIS PARK?

OK, for the good news, the level of LEAD found on the Playground and the Jungle Gym in Francis Lewis Park is not a large amount , as per the findings of Dr. James Cervino . The bad news is , there should be Zero amount falling in any area during any type of construction especially on a playground area. According to Dr.Cervino, this can easily be remedied by installing proper plastic protective barriers, as found under the Throgs Neck Bridge.

The MTATB has been very attentive to the Whitestone community as stated by Dr. Cervino and Mr. Centola (President of the Malba Gardens Civic Association) who are certain that after they are briefed on these findings they will address the issue immediately.

Dr. Cervino goes on to say that the surrounding area away from the playground is safe for all.

There will be a Park clean up day this Sunday Fathers day from 1Pm to 4Pm , hope to see you all there. Focus will be on the Beach area.
