Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights residents to sound off at traffic safety town hall
Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights residents will get the chance to hear from top transportation officials what the city plans to do about the shockingly high number of car crashes taking place on local streets when a street safety town hall takes place on March 27.
New York City Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg has been invited by Councilmember Justin Brannan, the organizer of the town hall, to speak at the meeting, which will take place on Wednesday, March 27, at P.S. 264, 371 89th St., from at 6 p.m.to 8 p.m.
Brannan, a Democrat who represents Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and parts of Bensonhurst, once urged the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the New York Police Department (NYPD) to “send in the cavalry” to address the troublingly high numbers of car crashes and pedestrian injuries in his district.
