In December 2016, our neighborhood experienced two more fatalities, bringing the 2016 toll to 6 , or three times as many as in 2013. A tourist was killed crossing W39th Street at 10th Avenue and a bicyclist was killed while crossing 55th Street at 12th Avenue
We send a strong letter to our elected officials asking for their support and help to address the situation. We also urged Community Board 4 to write a strong letter asking DOT for immediate action.
