DOT to better mark dangerous crossing

Traffic Controls @ 147St & 3rd Ave
The attached is a letter our organization received with regards to a dangerous street we highlighted on your blog. After being on your blog, WPIX contacted us and a subsequent piece appeared on their news segment. Without your blog, this would not have been possible and for this we thank you.

We are appreciative of their response and believe it is a good start in addressing the potentially dangerous situation on this street in front of Francis Lewis Park.

Thank You for your help with all issues Queens.

Marking them does make them less dangerous. Duh.

As I stated in my response to DOT, it was a good start. We are hopeful that more will be done to make it safe for all.

They should try those Yield to Pedestrian standing signs they place in the middle of the crosswalk (on the double yellow) in smaller towns. Of course they would probably just be run over and destroyed by menacing unlicensed cyclists.

Way to go Al, keep pressing the issues. At least you are getting results.

When are all you other Whitestone "civic" going to wake up and stop trying to destroy each other we all live in the same neighborhood

WORK TOGETHER AND STOP THE STUPIDITY.

Wow, wasn't Halloran quoted as saying he would work with DOT and the Civics on this issue? That the best a civic group can do with Halloran "Helping"???

Way to go Malba Gardens Civic, "One small step for safety". Keep fighting for your neighborhood and the kids.

I have lived on 3rd avenue for over 20 years and have seen other civics try and get results. Nice to see Al and the Malba Gardens group have been able to get this small concession.

Thank you,
