Beginning at 6am on Thursday July 1, Jackson Heights will temporarily gain a little more open space as 78th Street will become a temporary Public Plaza 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until August 31.
In other words, 62 days of:
Extra play space when Travers is crowded!
Extra space for the Greenmarket!
Somewhere to ride bikes and scooters!
A shaded “green” seating area! (In the works…)
This exciting pilot project is, hopefully, the first of many improvements to the issue of open space access in Jackson Heights.
Please join us to celebrate this event, and to illustrate our community’s support for more changes like this to all of the elected officials in attendance.
