I love you and hope that this allows your spirit to rest in peace.”

Leadership: Promises and Delays

Seventeen years. That’s how long it took the city to fund fixes for the deadly intersection at East 177th, Devoe, and East Tremont. Two deaths, 358 injuries, 246 crashes. The city now promises new sidewalks, shorter crossings, and better signals. “We are excited to make progress on this key corridor, which will make incredible pedestrian and vehicular safety improvements,” said a city official. Patch. But the work has not started. The danger remains.

Local lawmakers have backed bills to curb repeat speeders and extend school speed zones. But the streets are still fast, and the crossings are still long. The most vulnerable—kids, elders, people on foot—pay the price.

Call to Action: Make Them Hear You

No more waiting. Call your council member. Call the mayor. Tell them to fix the streets, slow the cars, and end the bloodshed. Every day of delay is another life at risk.
