The Value-Added Pedestrian Plaza

“Value-added” in the sense that it’s the gift that keeps on giving — to politicians, newspaper reporters and various community groups:

At a town hall meeting held by U.S. Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-Jackson Heights) and City Councilman Daniel Dromm (D-Jackson Heights) April 11, opponents once again made the case that the plaza, installed by the city Department of Transportation in October, should be removed.

Because if this pedestrian plaza didn’t exist, what would we be spending our mental space on?
