During our public hearings, we learned from the community about a terrible congestion problem.
0:10:57
This building will not contribute to any of the congestion.
0:11:00
It's a very small number of vehicular trips anticipated during peak hours.
0:11:07
But I wanted to bring it to the council's attention because the community did mention it, and when we investigated we learned that Cropsey Avenue in Neptune is indeed a choke point during peak hours, and two of the ways that choking can be alleviated is if the MTA would restore an express subway stop in area and if a ferry were, created for Coney Island.

So elected officials, please keep that in mind, for other agenda items for you with the city and with the MTA.
0:11:43
We've also mentioned that to city planning.

That was the last building developed on Neptune Avenue.

There's been virtually no development on Neptune except for the Wind Building in that in the last fifty years.
