Pedestrians Need a Safer Riverside Boulevard
Brad Hoylman
June 18, 2014
I recently spearheaded a letter with my colleagues Congressman Jerry Nadler, Assembly Member Linda Rosenthal and Council Member Helen Rosenthal to Department of Transportation (DOT) Commissioner Polly Trottenberg, asking the agency to address safety concerns on Riverside Boulevard. Though the DOT instituted a traffic-calming plan on the Boulevard between West 62nd and West 72nd Streets in 2011, we’ve heard from the community that these measures have proven insufficient, especially considering the concentration of early childhood education institutions and the high pedestrian traffic of local families. I thank the Coalition for a Livable West Side and the Committee for Pedestrian Safety on Riverside Boulevard for bringing these concerns to our attention. Please see our letter below.
