Queens seems to have a problem with flooding – we’ve heard about it in Springfield Gardens (they’re dredging a local lake to help alleviate the flooding), as well as the consistent flooding in Willets Point (which has overall drainage problems). We’ve seen mini floods all over Queens, too (the flooding at Astoria Park during Hurricane Irene was really something else – some photos are here).

Hurricane level floods notwithstanding, the flooding in Forest Hills has been a big headache for local residents. So to address it, City Councilmember Karen Koslowitz (D-Forest Hills), Community Board 6 and city Department of Environmental Protection reps have decided to hold a town hall meeting at the Forest Hills Jewish Center on Thursday, September 27 (tomorrow) at 7:45pm.

If you are interested in attending or have questions, give the Councilwoman a call at 718-544-8800 or email her at koslowitz@council.nyc.gov.
