The Queens Community Board 2 is a local advisory group in New York City, encompassing the neighborhoods of Hunters Point, Long Island City, Sunnyside, and Woodside, in the borough of Queens.
It is delimited by the East River on the west; Bridge Plaza North, the Long Island Rail Road and Northern Boulevard on the north; New York Connecting Railroad on the east; and Newtown Creek on the south.
Until the late 2010s, the street area next to it was largely ignored by city planners, unusable by car traffic, often surrounded by litter and used for parking[6] for employees of a nearby business.
In April 2019, the New York City Department of Transportation made a proposal to the Queens Community Board 2 to convert it into a "Street Seat area"[7] under the Street Seats program, which creates public areas for use in the warmer months.
