Stop speeding on 147th Street!

The following pics are of yet another accident that occurred in the corner of 147 street an 5th avenue in Whitestone. This area has been besieged by speeding cars and reckless driving for years.
The local boys driving the Cadillac are said to have been driving at a high rate of speed (normal for this corner). They are fortunate they did not flip over and or injure themselves or some poor innocent pedestrian.

We have been trying to get traffic devices that would improve safety for years. All of which has fallen on dead ears. We have requested a 4 way stop sign and were denied. We requested an one way west bound on fifth avenue (this would limit the amount of cars and trucks as well as curtail the highway speed most drivers continue on the block). We have repeatedly requested speed humps on 147 street in order to curtail speeding. What have we gotten instead? Nothing! Why must we continue to wait until someone gets seriously hurt?

Remedy this now please.

For our elected officials receiving this email, your help is desperately needed.

You think if someone dies that people will stop speeding? There's a culture in this city that says if you do it with a car, it's not a big deal.

A stop sign or speed bump won't help you much. You need the NYPD to get off their lazy asses and apply their broken windows policing for vehicular crimes. Not just in your neighborhood, but citywide.

They might get their wish with this one, Channel 7 has the video of the crash and is using it this morning.

The guidos and their sons in Whitestone act very entitled.

They're a bunch of incredibly stupid lowlifes! A baby guido (in a red Camaro!) once spat on me after he had blown a stop sign and nearly killed me!

There's a shitload of very bad parenting going on there.

I'm sure they're all mentally damaged by the industrial food they consume - all that gmo white bread and orange soda from Marinos!

Anon 3: What about all the Asians and kids run over in Flushing. That excuse is they're Asians, Flushing is a mess and overcrowded. Honestly kids will be kids that's the issue and this city ( De Blasio) needs to worry about getting this city in tip top shape before worrying ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING. I'm starting to miss crazy Bloomberg. Everyone should of voted Lhota. He would of gotten important issues done. But now were stuck with this promise of affordable housing and the infrastructure and quality of life is on the back burner. Easy fix put a traffic light in the section.
