Woodside Residents Push for Safer Streets With a Symbolic Stop Sign

This afternoon, Woodside residents and Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer erected a community-made stop sign at the intersection of 47th Avenue and 60th Street, in response to the Department of Transportation’s inaction in the neighborhood. The Council Member requested to introduce traffic calming measures along 47th Avenue between 59th and 61st Streets, which is immediately adjacent to two of the Big Six Tower co-op buildings and the Towers Play and Learn nursery school. So far, the Department of Transportation has refused to bring safety changes to the intersection, hence the resident’s brand new stop sign. GMAP
