A Clean Sweep In Sunnyside!

Recognizing Leaders Fundraiser

(continued on page 2)

On May 18th, CM Van Bramer joined parents, children, resi-dents and community leaders to erect the ‘People’s Stop Sign’ atthe southeast corner of 5th Street and 47th Avenue in Long IslandCity. The symbolic gesture was directed toward the Department ofTransportation in order to highlight the potential hazards along 5thStreet and the need for the city agency to introduce traffic calmingmeasures along the busy Long Island City corridor.

Last Saturday, May 19, 2012, Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer,along with members the Sunnyside/Woodside Boys & Girls Club, thecommunity and the Councilman’s Office gathered to clean up our town.The crowd met at Thomas Noonan Playground and quickly dispersedinto teams to comb the neighborhood. They swept, picked up andpainted, restoring the shine to Sunnyside.

The event brought out a broad range of people including: local artistMark Salinas, regular volunteers Jonathan Dunn, Guatalupe Marzana,Servando Velez, Jimmy Hellmann, Marc & Lynn Lobell, Ira Isaguirre,Patrick O’Hara, Sheila Sullivan, members of the Councilman’s office,Jason Banrey, Katie Cariello, Matt Wallace, Aycan Kaptaner, DeborahTharrington, Joe Kenton and many more.

Especially impressive were the boys lead by Program Director KennyMedrano and Board Member, Pastor John Stork of the Grace FellowshipChurch. They not only cleaned their “zone” in record time, but joinedanother team to paint the graffiti along 48th Avenue between 42nd and 41st

Streets. A grateful Christian Alvarado of Prima Sarabella provided theteam with water and discount coupons for his new restaurant.

The People’s Stop Sign

“The traffic along 5th Streetpresents numerous hazards for hun-dreds of pedestrians and youngchildren who cross this street ev-ery single day on their way to workand school,” said Van Bramer.“Without stop signs along thisheavily trafficked corridor thechances of an accident happening

are increasing each day that theDepartment of Transportation doesnot take action. I hope our effortsto erect our own stop sign are no-ticed by the Department of Trans-portation and that they take actionon this hazardous issue before it’stoo late.”

After numerous parents of

young children from local pre-schools and PS 78 as well as localresidents came forward to his of-fice about this issue, Van Bramercontacted the DOT about the needto address this situation.

For over a year, DOT hasrefused to introduce trafficcalming measures along 5thStreet. As the local area contin-ues to develop, with new apart-ment complexes, schools, andvarious other amenities sprout-ing throughout the neighbor-hood, DOT’s street regulationshave not kept up with the grow-ing amount of pedestrian traf-fic. The Council Member willcontinue to push the DOT toaddress the situation, insistingthey install stop signs along5th Street.

Call For Greater Safety OnQueensboro Bridge RampsContinuing his advocacy for

safer roadways, Senator MichaelGianaris is pressuring the New YorkCity Department of Transportation(DOT) to strengthen safety mea-sures around all Ed Koch-Queensborough Bridge off-rampsfollowing yet another frighteningaccident occurring there last week.He sent a letter to DOT requestingan immediate comprehensive reviewof all bridge off-ramps, enhancedremediation’s to the accident-pronearea and that the bridge’s 30 mile-per-hour speed limit be more strictlyenforced.

The latest accident occurred onTuesday, May 1st at the bridge’s off-

ramp located at Queens Plaza Southnear Crescent Street in Long IslandCity. It is the fourth in a series ofaccidents in the last year occurringat this exact location; two occurredwithin nine days of each other be-tween March and April of last yearand one occurred in May 2011.

“The fact that such a concen-trated number of accidents occurredat the exact same place and mannerin a short period of time makes ap-parent that more must be done toenhance security at this ramp,” Sena-tor Gianaris said. “Attempts to alle-viate the danger surrounding what isnow known as a ‘death trap’ areclearly insufficient. Pedestrians,

drivers and local businesses in thearea should not be perpetually threat-ened by projectile vehicles comingoff the bridge.”

Following last year’s accidents,the Senator, along with Congress-woman Carolyn Maloney, Assem-blywoman Cathy Nolan and Coun-cilman Jimmy Van Bramer, sent aletter to DOT requesting safety im-provements and traffic pattern rede-signs along this dangerous portionof Queens Plaza. In response to theofficials’ requests, DOT increasedtraffic signs and erected barricadesin the area, but it is clear that moremust be done to ensure everyone’ssafety.

529 Plan Can Help with College Funding and

Estate-planning Considerations Now that another school year is drawing to a close, your young children are a step closer to the day when they’ll be heading off to college. Of course, as you’re probably aware, higher education doesn’t come cheap — and the costs seem to continuously climb. You can help your children — or even your grandchildren — meet these expenses by investing in a 529 plan. And this college savings vehicle offers estate-planning bene�its.As a college funding vehicle, a 529 plan offers some signi�icant bene�its. When you contribute to a 529 plan, your earnings accumulate tax free, provided they are used for quali�ied higher education expenses. (Keep in mind, though, that 529 plan distributions not used for quali�ied expenses may be subject to federal and state income tax and a 10% IRS penalty.) Furthermore, your 529 plan contributions may be deductible from your state taxes. However, 529 plans vary, so be sure to check with your tax advisor. And the lifetime contribution limits for 529 plans are quite generous; while these limits vary by state, many plans allow contributions well in

excess of $200,000. Plus, a 529 plan is �lexible: If the child, grandchild or other bene�iciary decides against college, you can transfer the unused funds to someone else, tax and penalty free. Now, let’s turn to a 529 plan’s estate-planning bene�its. If you think that you may need to reduce the size of your taxable estate, and you also want to create a legacy you may be able to enjoy during your lifetime, you may �ind that the 529 plan offers a solution for you. When you establish and contribute to a 529 plan, the assets leave your estate — but they don’t leave your control. If your named bene�iciary decides against college and you don’t have another family member to whom you can transfer the account — or if you simply change your mind about funding the 529 plan — you can get your money back at any time, although, as mentioned above, you’ll have to pay taxes, and possibly a 10% IRS penalty, on the earnings. Your contributions to a 529 plan also qualify for the $13,000 annual gift tax exclusion, so you can give large amounts each year without incurring the gift tax. In the investment world,

you can �ind many vehicles that can help you make progress toward one goal. But it’s far less common to �ind something that may give you a boost toward two. And when the two goals are helping a child or grandchild go to college and lowering the value of your taxable estate — while still maintaining control of your assets — you’ve got an investment worth considering. So consult with your tax and �inancial advisors to determine if a 529 plan is right for you. And if it is, think about taking action soon, because the more years you can contribute to a 529 plan, the better the outlook for both your future student and your estate plans.Edward Jones, its employees and �inancial advisors are not estate planners and cannot provide tax or legal advice. You should consult your estate-planning attorney or quali�ied tax advisor regarding your situation.This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor Vincent Renda, who is located at 47-01 Queens Blvd. Suite 203 Sunnyside NY 11104.
