This 1 mile stretch is among our most dangerous in Queens —especially for kids and caregivers! Life-saving measures: Pedestrian islands at intersections✅ Protected bike lanes✅ Daylighting to boost visibility at corners & crosswalks✅ Sign and share change.org/p/bring-safety…

Join us on Saturday!

👏🏼 @SenGianaris

The Senator is spot on. These deaths are preventable, and we can make policy choices to save lives. Thank you for addressing the core of the issue and sponsoring the bill to end NYC's exemption from daylighting intersections!

Hundreds of us are out today talking to riders at 23 subway stations across the city where accessible elevators were scrapped due to @GovKathyHochul’s disastrous congestion pricing pause! We needed these elevators YESTERDAY. Governor hear our demand, #congestionpricingnow!

Yet another tragedy outside of a school. This time in Woodside. This summer we need to protect the most vulnerable and start a massive School Streets Program like they have in Paris. I have an 8 year old. I'm just so sick of seeing young kids dying. @OpenPlans @StreetsblogNYC
