Sunnyside Shines Launches Street Tree Initiative

Another Middle School Option Comes To Community

Statement: Council Member Van Bramer ApplaudsApprehension Of Suspect For Crash In Woodside“I applaud the 114th Precinct’s recent apprehension of Luis Andrade,

the suspect wanted in connection with Saturday’s crash that injuredfour pedestrians, including a young girl,” said Council Member JimmyVan Bramer. “Saturday’s hit-and-run crash at 48th Street and NorthernBoulevard in Woodside was a serious crime. The driver could havekilled with that vehicle and this person must be prosecuted. Sadly, thisis yet another example of reckless driving in our City that has alreadyclaimed too many lives and injured countless individuals. Such behav-ior cannot and will not be tolerated. I am committed to Mayor deBlasio’s Vision Zero plan and will continue working with the Mayor,the Department of Transportation and the NYPD to ensure thisinitiative becomes a reality.”

The Sunnyside Shines Busi-ness Improvement District haslaunched a street tree initiative toimprove the streetscape in theSunnyside commercial district. Theprogram kicked off by showcasingtwo “model blocks” in the district,featuring streetscape improve-ments such as tree guards andbollards, which were sponsored bytwo local property owners.Sunnyside Shines’ vision is to im-prove the state of the district’s streettrees with uniform tree guards, newstreet trees and expanded tree pitswhere necessary.

Local property owners WhiteCastle and Pickman Realty arethe program’s first sponsors, pro-viding street tree improvementson two blocks: the south side ofQueens Boulevard between 43rdStreet and 44th Street, and thewest side of 46th Street betweenQueens Boulevard andGreenpoint Avenue. These twoblocks serve as a model of theimprovements to come to the en-

tire district, which will be fundedby sponsorships from individualsand business owners as well asSunnyside Shines.

The tree guards and expandedtree pits provide a distinctive lookto the neighborhood while enhanc-ing the health of the district’s streettrees. The streetscape improve-ments complement the tree careand bulb planting completed dur-ing a community clean-up day lastfall, co-sponsored by SunnysideShines, Council Member VanBramer, Partnerships for Parks,TreesNY and BIG!Compost.

“It is very important to main-tain healthy street trees alongQueens Boulevard and GreenpointAvenue,” said Rachel Thieme, ex-ecutive director of the SunnysideShines Business Improvement Dis-trict. “Street trees provide so manybenefits to the district – from creat-ing a buffer between vehicular traf-fic and pedestrians on the side-walk, cleaner air and helping cre-ate a more attractive neighborhood

Tree guards being installedoutside of White Castle

to shop and do business in. We aregrateful to White Castle andPickman Realty for helping to ini-tiate this program, and we are look-ing forward to bringing more im-

provements to the entire district.”Opportunities are available to

sponsor individual tree guardswithin the Sunnyside Shines dis-trict. Sponsors will be recognized

with a plaque on the sponsored treepit. Individuals or businesses in-terested in sponsorship are invitedto contact the Sunnyside Shinesoffice for more information.

Honoring Rep.Crowley’sCommunity Efforts

On Thursday, January 30, Rep.Joe Crowley (D-Queens, theBronx), Vice Chair of the Demo-cratic Caucus, was honored by theJackson Heights and broaderQueens Indian American commu-nity for his efforts on behalf ofSikh Americans and the greaterIndian American community. Dur-ing the event, Crowley was recog-nized for his successful efforts toconvince the federal governmentto begin collecting data on hatecrimes committed against Sikh-Americans and Hindu-Americans;his leadership in establishing thefirst-ever, breakthrough Congres-sional Diwali celebration in theU.S. Congress in October 2013;and his ongoing work to end thepresumptive ban on Sikhs servingin the U.S. military.

“I am humbled to be recog-nized by Shiv Dass and the Jack-son Heights Merchants Associa-tion, members of the Queens Sikhcommunity, and the greater Indian-American community in Queens,”said Rep. Crowley, who serves asthe co-chair of the CongressionalCaucus on India and Indian-Ameri-cans in the U.S. House of Repre-

sentatives. “The Indian-Americancommunity is an integral part ofQueens and our city, contributingto our economic success and en-riching our culture. I am proud tohave fought for and won concretevictories on behalf of the commu-nity and I will continue to do so.”

Nearly 100 community mem-bers and leaders from New York’sSikh-American and the broaderIndian-American community at-tended the event.

Over the past two years, Crowleyhas been at the forefront of a majoreffort in Congress to convince theU.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)and Federal Bureau of Investiga-tion (FBI) to begin collecting dataon hate crimes committed againstSikh-Americans and Hindu-Ameri-cans – introducing legislation andsending multiple letters to DOJ andFBI. In July 2013, then-FBI Direc-tor Robert Mueller announced thatthe bureau would begin to imple-ment this program.

Crowley is leading the call onthe U.S. military to end its pre-sumptive ban on Sikh articles offaith, including turbans and beard.He is spearheading a bipartisan

letter requesting that the U.S.Armed Forces update their appear-ance regulations to allow SikhAmericans to serve while abidingby their articles of faith.

In October 2013, Crowley ledhis colleagues in creating the first-ever Congressional Diwali celebra-tion. The event brought togethermembers of Congress, prominentIndian leaders, and members of theIndian-American community tobuild a greater understanding of dif-fering cultural backgrounds and in-crease understanding and tolerance.

“I’m so pleased the FBI is go-ing to begin tracking hate crimesagainst Sikhs and Hindus, becausethat is the first step toward pre-venting the crimes in the first place.But, there is much, much more weneed to do. One of my top priori-ties is ensuring that Sikh Ameri-cans can serve in our nation’s mili-tary – we took some steps forwardon this issue last week but there ismore that must be done. I alsothink it is high time that India be-come a permanent member of theUnited Nations Security Council –and I am going to be focusing myefforts on that,” added Crowley.

Crowley joins representatives from the Jackson Heights Merchants Assoc. and members of the Sikh Gurdwara.

Introducing SCS Pre-K ProgramAssemblywoman Catherine Nolan recently took a tour of the Pre-K program at Sunnyside Community

Services. Just this year, Sunnyside Community Services won a grant from the New York City Department ofEducation to hold two part-time classes for 4 year olds. Assemblywoman Nolan was pleased to tour the facilityand will continue to push for expanding pre-k statewide.See Page 8 for details.
