IN THE WAKE OF ANOTHER DEATH, A STREET SAFETY GROUP FOR KWT HAS FORMED

Another pedestrian death in our community--young Mohammad Naiem Uddin, this time--has led neighbors to form a grassroots safety group that covers Kensington and Windsor Terrace. The goal of KWT Safe Streets is to make our many dangerous streets safer for all of us, whether we're pedestrians, bicyclists, or motorists. And many of us fall into more than one of those categories. You can become part of KWT Safe Streets by joining the group on Facebook.

KWT Safe Streets joins Windsor Terrace Safe Streets in its goal of improving the traffic conditions in this area that have led to physical injuries or death for far too many residents.
