Statement from Source Document / POA

The NYC Department of City Planning will be the applicant for the demapping of an unbuilt “paper street” on 95th Avenue from the Van Wyck Expressway to 158th Street in order to facilitate housing opportunity in this area. The paper street is a remainder from a previously planned widening of Atlantic Avenue that was never built out and will not be built. The area includes approximately 75 lots over several blocks.
