DOT proposes safety measures for Marine and Third
The New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) has proposed a bevy of safety improvements at Third Avenue, Marine Avenue and 99th Street in Bay Ridge.
The proposal, as discussed by Community Board 10 Traffic and Transportation Committee Chair Jayne Capetanakis at the full board’s June meeting, addresses three existing conditions the board has found “problematic” at the intersections.
The first, she said, is the area’s “unusually long crossing distances.” At 99th and Third, Capetanakis said, there is a 75-foot crosswalk, and at Marine and Third, there is a 90-foot crosswalk.
