 We want to take this opportunity to congratulate our three graduates from the Citizen's Police Academy. Good job! From left to right: Luz Goyeneche, Antonia (Toni) Guillen and Sheila Chan  Dear Stakeholder
Yesterday, we announced the beginning of the environmental review process for the Interborough Express (IBX) project under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA). We are reaching out to inform you of an upcoming opportunity to participate in the formal project scoping, which is the next step of the process. Scoping is designed to gather public input on the scope, or range of issues, to be addressed in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the project. Unlike a traditional open house, scoping meetings are structured to receive formal public comments. There will be no Q&A with the project team during these meetings. Instead, participants must register in advance to provide brief comments for the public record. To prepare, we encourage you to review the draft Scoping Document, available on the MTA IBX project website here: https://www.mta.info/document/187036. Following its publication, there will be a 30-day public comment period, through November 26, during which feedback on the Scoping Document can be submitted either digitally or in person at the following scoping meetings: Scoping Meeting Dates/Locations: October 29, 2025 - 5:30-8pm, Brooklyn College, Whitehead Hall, 2710 Campus Road, Brooklyn, NY 11210 November 6, 2025 - 5:30-8pm, Christ the King High School Auditorium, 68-02 Metropolitan Avenue, Middle Village, Queens, NY 11379 November 12, 2025 – 10am-12pm and 6-8 pm – Virtual (Zoom) To register for these meetings, and for more information, please visit mta.info/IBX. All comments received—whether in person or online—will be transcribed, translated, and considered for incorporation into the final Scoping Document, which will be published on the project’s website. Digital comments may be submitted via email to: [email protected]. RSVP Here You can learn more about the IBX here. We are concerned about what appears to be an uptick in car thefts and car break-ins in the Maspeth and Middle Village communities. From what we can see, a lot of the activity in Maspeth is near the Elmhurst border. Elmhurst residents should be alert too.
Please do whatever possible to secure your vehicle and please don't leave anything in your car. If you get up during the night, take a minute to look out your window and report any suspicious activity!! For those of you who have questions or concerns about this project, we urge you to either attend one of the public meetings or listen to the virtual meeting on November 12th.
Gov. Kathy Hochul and the state-run MTA said on Wednesday that the agency is beginning the environmental review process for the forthcoming IBX under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA). The review will begin with three public meetings at Brooklyn College on October 29th; Christ the King High School in Middle Village on November. 6th at 5:30pm; register here: https://contact.mta.info/s/forms/public-hearing-form?Id=a0mcr000005UMg9&pId=PH |
