While at the PS 207 playground with his daughter last Sunday, a father came across a threatening note on one of the doors of the school, which she attends.

It read, “I had a dream last night where I was strangling people. Wish I can do it in real life to those who’ve wronged me all my life.”

During a four-hour meeting Monday night, Community Board 7 voted to approve a proposal for a new, 696-seat elementary school in Flushing and plans to redo the seawall and rip-rap along the MacNeil Park waterfront. The panel also voted against a plan for a seven-story residential building in Flushing.

Before the board took up any of those agenda items, though, Borough President Donovan Richards made an appearance, and spoke at length about the state of the College Point sewer project, among other things. Noting that capital projects of the sort are “always painful,” Richards said he and Councilmember Vickie Paladino (R-Whitestone) have worked to improve the quality-of-life issues the work has caused.
