"В Town Bedford Stuyvesant Voter? No"
"I've lived in NYC all my life. I liked Koch way back when, but he has no link to the great borough of Queens. Leave the Queensboro Bridge alone. Town Jackson Heights, NY Voter? No"
"I agree with petition not to rename the Queensboro bridge. Town Kew Gardens Voter? No"
"I disagree w/some of the reasons but think that the bridge should NOT be renamed. Thank you. Town Rego Park Voter? No"
