Bensonhurst residents dont want to lose traffic lanes
Bensonhurst residents are fuming over a Department ofTransportation (DOT) proposal to reduce the number of lanes oftraffic on Avenue P and Stillwell Avenue.
If DOT gets its way, Avenue P between Stillwell and McDonaldAvenues as well as Stillwell Avenue between Bay Parkway and 86thStreet will have one lane of traffic going in each direction.Currently, there are four lanes of traffic – two in each direction– on both busy thoroughfares, which have many schools and city busroutes along the way.
Community Board 11 unanimously panned the proposal at itsmeeting last week.
