Associate Planner Wald showed how the space would be accessed off 141 st Street and Ebony. Commissioner Van Scoy asked if either of those streets would be extended. Associate Planner Wald indicated she did not know the answer to that question but responded that connecting streets and providing a contiguous street design is always desired. Vice Chair Johnson suggested City Engineer Jankowski look at it again and address any concerns to the City Council.
