On Oct 6 at Webster and E 188, police recorded failure to yield and unsafe speed by the tow‑truck driver who hit the people in the crosswalk. NYC Open Data

Fix the known dangers

This precinct can target these corners. Daylight the crosswalks. Add leading walk signals and hardened turns. Slow the straight‑aways on Southern Boulevard and East Tremont. Enforce failure‑to‑yield and distracted driving at the evening peaks, when deaths rise. NYC Open Data

Citywide tools exist. New York can lower speeds and rein in the worst repeat speeders. Both steps sit on the table now. See how and speak up here.

Who must act now

This is Precinct 48. The council member is Oswald Feliz. The Assembly Member is George Alvarez. The State Senator is Luis Sepúlveda. The Stop Super Speeders Act and a 20 MPH default are active fights citywide. Will they back them and push them over the line? Take action.
