Officials Praise DOT on Williamsburg Traffic Signals
BROOKLYN —Councilmember Stephen Levin, State Senator Daniel Squadron and Assemblymember Joseph Lentol announced recently that the Department of Transportation (DOT) heeded their calls to install traffic signals along Kent Avenue in Williamsburg.
The new traffic lights will be installed as a result of community support and advocacy and after DOT concluded a three-month study to determine the need for slowing traffic on Kent Avenue.
With residential and recreational development transforming North Brooklyn, the legislators and the community have long urged the city to study traffic and take steps to protect pedestrians and all users.
