STAYING ALIVE (AND UNINJURED) ON THE STREETS OF KENSINGTON: A SAFE STREETS TOWN HALL


Kensington Safe Streets Town Hall
Monday, November 18th, 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. 

From New York City Councilmember Brad Lander:
"Together with New York State Assemblymember Robert Carroll, I'll be hosting a town hall meeting with the New York City Department of Transportation on Monday, November 18th, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., at P.S. 889/M.S. 890 at 510 Coney Island Avenue (between Turner and Hinckley places) to talk about all the recent crashes and focus on what more can and must be done to make Church Avenue, Coney Island Avenue, Ocean Parkway, and all our streets safer.

The latest changes at Church Avenue and Ocean Parkway which were recently implemented after over a year of conversation don't appear to have made much difference.

I expect the Department of Transportation to discuss the changes at Church Avenue and Ocean Parkway, steps they are taking at Church and Coney Island avenues, and to listen to the community about what needs to be done to make Coney Island Avenue a safer place for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers alike. 

I'll also give an update on the Reckless Driver Accountability Act. By the November 18th town hall, I expect to have some progress to report (and expect to be held accountable if I don't)."

Councilmember Mathieu Eugene of City Council District 40 will also participate.
