Reclaim Steinway Street in Astoria

The Issue

For the past three weeks, Astorians have seen a select few bars think they can flaunt every rule in the boom while the City agencies tasked with enforcing them sit idly by.  Our streets have descended into pure mayhem, the threat of COVID-19 spreading is dangerously high, and Astoria residents are rightfully furious at the relentless noise that goes into the early hours of the morning.  We are in complete chaos and one drunken fight away from a tragedy happening.

We, Astoria residents, demand that our city representatives:

-take away liquor licenses from businesses that are not respecting city laws.

-give our local precinct (114) the support necessary to reclaim pur streets.

-establish a 10pm curfew on all businesses on Steinway to discourage assembly.

-fine businesses and citizens for excessive noise past that time as stated by law.
