He's one of nearly two dozen residents we recruited as Community Advisors to initiate community-led transformation of Flushing Meadows Corona Park (FMCP) in Queens. The group is spending four months at our Community Design School to improve wayfinding and circulation in the Park, and its connectivity to the surrounding communities. Read more about these sessions.

Larry is focusing on how to improve access to the Park. Together with the members of his Team Access, he's exploring ways to:

• Make it easier for people to get to the park from surrounding neighborhoods;
• Increase the visibility of park entrances/exits;
• Communicate the best entry points for people coming to the Park in different ways, like by foot, public transportation, car or bike, or using it in different ways like a soccer player or parents coming with their children.
