The Throggs Neck BID has made the beautification of our community a priority. Planting new trees and installing decorative tree guards were among our earliest accomplishments. We have also taken significant steps to add decorative flowers in tree pits. This spring, they are looking better than ever!  The best is yet to come, as we plan to provide beautiful planters that do double duty as safety devices that prevent car crashes from landing up on sidewalks.
