To the editor: Kudos to the activists who took issues into their very own arms to make their streets safer, regardless of bureaucratic hurdles and the Division of Transportation’s inaction (“Activists paint Westwood crosswalk to improve safety. Police shut down effort, cite volunteer for vandalism,” Dec. 8).
Our neighborhood has struggled with issues of safety ever because the Palisades fireplace precipitated site visitors on Sundown Boulevard to change into insupportable. Visitors apps are directing dashing vehicles down our residential streets throughout rush hours. Our streets are slim. We have now no sidewalks, however residents nonetheless stroll their canine and trip their bikes.
We have now pursued each avenue to acquire cease indicators on our cross streets, to no avail. We even supplied to pay for the printing and set up of those indicators and had been informed that might be unlawful.
We’d like motion, not platitudes, from the mayor. Do we have to have much more site visitors deaths earlier than the Division of Transportation will assist us?
