On Nov. 13, Queens Community Board 9 voted to open Freedom Drive, a small road in Forest Park connecting Myrtle Avenue to Park Lane, back to traffic after it spent the last five years fenced off for pedestrians and NYC Parks plans to follow through with the decision.

NYC Parks pitched the compromise itself at a recent community board meeting after the community had split between the desire to keep it free of cars for pedestrian use and the wish to see the old shortcut opened once again for commuters. Over 100 community members attended the meeting for the period of public comments, including Council Member Joann Ariola and Capt. Pratima Maldonado.
