I hope they work on a solution for the dangerous pedestrian crossing in Union Square. The streets which are in conflict is the intersection between Broadway and East 17th St, across from the Petco and the Starbucks. This is really good to hear.

CB4 has felt the extreme urgency to protect pedestrians especially since the killing of 82-year-old Amelia Chimienti on February 7,2007 at the corner of 9th Avenue and 16th Street. In their March meeting they made suggestions to refashion 9th Avenue, meaning the street and sidewalks and the direction of traffic, in an effort to safe guard pedestrians. Nice job LSapir! This is an important local subject that affects pedestrians daily, especially with the warm weather setting in and a lot of selfish drivers will be on the road in full blown summer heat.

There needs to be change and it is a wonderful thing, that the mayor is also getting involved with the movement of change.
