Guest op-ed: The fast and the furious
You would laugh, or perhaps cry, at just how many traffic lights, speed bumps, stop signs, slow zones and flashing beacons I’ve personally requested and had installed around the neighborhood over the past 10 years.
In my days as an aide to Councilmember Vincent Gentile, I learned how to see the neighborhood through the eyes of the many young families and seniors in our district. Through them, I learned so much and found so many ways to, among other things, make our neighborhood safer, cleaner and stronger.
When I got elected last fall, I decided I would seek to accomplish two main goals during my first few years in office: Make the 43rd District the cleanest and the safest in the city – and that includes pedestrian safety and keeping our streets safe for all to enjoy.
