Greenwich Street

Wednesday, December 6, 2006

A popular crosswalk (at Greenwich and Duane Streets) used by children, the elderly and families walking to Washington Market Park is constantly ignored by motorists. The dangerous situation has been the target of reforms by local schools and community organizations, including The Washington Market Park Board. The Park Board has formed the "Tribeca Kids Safety Zone" and would like to see a stop sign or a red light and a commitment to traffic calming before tragedy strikes.

This topic is still a hot one; January 2010.

Great video. It highlights a very important concern that we parents have. Would like to also see someone address the crazy cyclists (not the responsible ones) riding on the sidewalks and zipping through red lights.

Section 1151? What a joke! With heart racing I watched the video, recognizing myself and Judd on his walker in each one of those pedestrians attempting to cross Greenwich at Duane. DOT ... Department of Transportation, or a representation of however many DOTS of blood it will finally take before the irresponsible powers-that-be heed the outraged voices of this community!?!
