Known fixes, still waiting

The street record in this precinct points to concrete steps:

  • Daylight corners and add hardened turns at Church Avenue, Linden Boulevard, and other left‑turn hotspots to slow turning drivers. NYC Open Data
  • Give people on foot a head start with leading pedestrian intervals at busy crossings like Church and Utica. NYC Open Data
  • Target failure‑to‑yield and distraction at repeat crash locations with focused enforcement.

Citywide policy can backstop local fixes. The city can lower speeds on residential streets under Sammy’s Law. Albany is weighing the Stop Super Speeders Act (S4045C/A2299C) to require intelligent speed limiters for habitual offenders. /take_action/

New York’s top law officer has said the quiet part plain: “the evidence is clear: police vehicle pursuits and high-speed car chases can be dangerous and even fatal, and it is time for a change.” Times Union

Who answers for this block?

This is Precinct 67. The local officials are Council Member Darlene Mealy, Assembly Member Kalman Yeger, and State Senator Roxanne Persaud. The record provided here does not show whether they have sponsored or co‑sponsored the Stop Super Speeders Act. What gives? /take_action/

Do the simple thing

Lower speeds save lives. Habitual speeders need limiters. The person on that corner at Snyder and Albany needed both. Tell City Hall and Albany to act now. /take_action/
