Rally for safer streets says pump the BRAKES and bring the cameras
In a rally outside State Senator Marty Goldens office on the afternoon of April 5, concerned citizens and residents of Bay Ridge turned out to protest Goldens opposition to a bill that would have funded the implementation of citywide speed cameras.
Since two fatal incidents involving speeding and pedestrians have already occurred this year in Bay Ridge, troubled citizens and members of B.R.A.K.E.S, Bay Ridge Advocates For Keeping Everyone Safe, decided to take a stand.
With signs reading: Senator Golden, stop the roadkill and a strong-willed, synchronized chant of Hey hey, ho ho, cameras are the way to go! the crowd was high in energy and determined to make a change.
