New Pedestrian Hazards for Howard Beach, NY Seniors
For senior citizens like Mr. Robert Ortiz, the route to their daily doctor's appointments next to the new senior center has been a risky ordeal. The course to Catholic Charities Howard Beach Senior Center, which is at the intersection of eight-lane Cross Bay Blvd. and the four-lane 156th Ave, has become increasingly difficult and dangerous. Due to such unsafe traffic conditions, senior citizens are being forced to jaywalk across the 156th Ave. In order to avoid a potential disaster at the quick signal on Cross Bay Boulevard. Community advocates, including the Tri-State Transportation Campaign are urging the city to make safety improvements a topmost priority in order to avoid local tragedies and accidents in the future.
