City Councilmen James Sanders, Jr. (D-Laurelton) and Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park), along with Deputy Mayor Howard Wolfson, have launched the new Rockaway Task Force that they believe will improve the beleaguered transportation situation and economy in the area.
The Task Force is composed of the following members of the Rockaways community.
Task Force Members Selected by Council Member James Sanders, Jr.
Charles Jacobs [Averne By the Sea Civic Association President]
Sender Schwartz [Far Rockaway Orthodox community leader ]
Andrea Sanders * [President, Victorious Women’s Organization]
* Note: Andrea Sanders is the wife of Counilman Sanders.
Task Force Members Selected by Council Member Eric Ulrich
Karen Sloane-Payne [Dayton Towers civic & political affairs representative]
John Lepore [Rockaway Chamber of Commerce President]
Dan Mundy [Community Board 14 member & environmentalist from Broad Channel]
The task force held its first meeting last week at City Hall and Wolfson said the group will look at ways to stimulate economic development, improve transportation and address housing and building issues on the peninsula.
I have contacted Councilman Eric Ulrich's office and requested that the West 12th Road Block Association be provided with the minutes or summaries of the meetings of this task force as they become available and will share that information with all of you.
