Description
There needs to be a stop light on the corner of booraem and central crossing into Pershing park. Over the weekend my partner and two dogs almost got hit by a reckless driver while crossing central in the crosswalk at noon!! This isn’t the first time almost been hit 3-4 times last few months!! It’s also difficult to make a left turn from Booraem onto central at that intersection because it’s blind. Cars are always speeding excessively. If there’s a stoplight at prospect and central which has much less foot traffic why not booraem and central? Many families are so scared to cross the street here because people do not stop! The current lighting there does absolutely nothing to stop these cars when people are crossing. Please do something before people get seriously hurt!!

Hello beautiful people of the Heights. There are 7 different threads all on this subject. I have chosen this one to be the main ticket and will mark all others as duplicates.
Pulling all of these issues into one, helps us review all of the issues for the area; gives a bigger impact to see all of the comments and suggestions; and allows us to update everyone in a single place.
Now some of the request vary in suggestions and complaints, but the bottom line is that the entire stretch of Central Ave along the park needs solutions. I will be taking all the issues and pulling them in a report for the traffic engineers. This will ensure all of the suggestions and issues are heard, including the traffic light like the one at Supremos.
Please continue to add your comments and suggestions.

I am not supposed to give my personal opinion, but I have driven north and south on central ave with no problems. I do drive slowly and watch for pedestrians. This past week I drove down JFK and turned on Manhattan to get to Central, where i wanted to make a left. I could not be more confused. Do I wait for every care traveling north on Central to clear the intersection? Or was I just supposed to cut in? I was so confused. Now I understand with first hand experience.
I will be making a summary of all of the issues, from all of the duplicates and this one, later today.

An actual intersection of Manhattan and central on the other side of the intersection you pointed out (coming from Sherman) had a ticket open because there was no traffic light and it was closed by someone saying there was one. There is none lol and no one knows what to do similar to what you described. Would love to put in a ticket for that if someone will do a legitimate inspection…
Thank you for adding it to the list and I hope to see improvements soon all around Pershing. This has been opened almost two years now
