Queensbridge residents rally against OneLIC Neighborhood Plan as Council vote approaches

Around three dozen protesters and local Queensbridge residents joined a rally against the OneLIC Neighborhood Plan at the Jacob A. Riis Neighborhood Settlement in Queensbridge Thursday afternoon, calling on Council Member Julie Won to vote against the rezoning plan and “send it back to the drawing board” unless specific investment in the Queensbridge community is included in the final plan.

OneLIC, which covers 54 full or partial blocks in Long Island City, aims to transform the neighborhood with a series of new zoning rules that would create almost 14,700 new housing units, with 4,300 of those earmarked as affordable.
