I.S. 89 Speed Gunning
StreetFilms was out at I.S. 89 in Manhattan last week working with Brooke DuBose and Graham Beck of Transportation Alternatives. The middle school students, with the help of Manhattan Youth's Bob Townley, organized an after-school speed gunning event in response to two recent accidents involving motorists and students crossing the West Side Highway on their way home from school.
All involved had a great time and took the opportunity to bring attention to the problems that face I.S. 89 and Battery Park City in a constructive way.
They should build a Westway highway tunnel rather then have a wall of traffic on the surface.
