Today Council Member Steve Levin announced that the Department of Transportation will install two more traffic signals along Kent Avenue. Currently, there are no traffic signals or stop signs on the eight-block stretch between Williamsburg Street West and Clymer Street and there are serious problems with speeding in the area. The DOT will install signals at the intersection of Kent Avenue and Wilson Street (pictured) and at Kent Avenue and Hooper Street. They are expected to be installed by November 30. The safety measures are a direct response to the terrible hit-and-run accident that resulted in the deaths of Raizy and Nathan Glauber and their unborn son this March. “By installing traffic signals on Kent Avenue we are making our city streets safer for all New Yorkers — pedestrians, cyclists and motorists. I want to thank the Department of Transportation for recognizing the need to keep our streets safe and agreeing to install traffic signals along Kent Avenue,” Levin said in a press release.
