Streetscape Program Comes to the Sunnyside Commercial District

The Sunnyside Shines Business Improvement District is taking on a number of streetscape improvements around the BID district, reports the Sunnyside Post. Improvements include installing tree guards and bollards around trees, planting new trees and expanding tree pits where necessary. The BID already installed tree guards along two blocks — the south side of Queens Boulevard between 43rd Street and 44th Street and the west side of 46th Street between Queens Boulevard and Greenpoint Avenue. In total improvements will go along Queens Boulevard from 38th Street to 50th Street, and on Greenpoint Avenue from Queens Boulevard to 42nd Street. Sunnyside Shines will help fund the tree guards; the BID also accepts sponsorships from individuals and business owners. White Castle and Pickman Realty are the program’s first sponsors.
