I've live near JFK all my life. I remember wondering around the airport area when I was a kid (and b4 security became an issue): there use to be trees and grass and hares running all over the place.
That being said, since they've already redeveloped a lot of the open spaces ie: build NYPD impound; a parking lot for school buses, they might as well just bury Rockaway Tnpk and call it a day.. It's only a matter of time b4 there won't be any space left.
And if I'm not mistaken, the area around the airport is a reserve. YEAH RITE!
