Whats the local appetite for a Pedestrian Plaza in Sunnyside? (Im a resident here who badly wants one!)

There’s two good locations to consider - the ‘Lewis Mumford Way’ section of Skillman, and also the area under the sunnyside arch on 46th by key foods.

Its kinda depressing to see people using the space under the train station to ’get outside’ but its one of the only options.

We don’t have much in the way of public parks in Sunnyside - besides the park off woodside ave, and the private park for Sunnyside Gardens, everything else is small and surrounded by traffic - perhaps a pedestrian plaza would help fill the gap?
