Description

There have been numerous accidents at this intersection which is right next to a school. Two that I have a record of, occurred on Friday May 10 and on Thursday May 30. The cars in both cases ended up on the sidewalk where children walk regularly to and from school at times of accident. More accidents have occurred there but I do not have specific dates. As many drivers do not respect this area as residential and speed through the neighborhood in an attempt to get the nearby highway and/or tunnel, they roll through the one way stop sign on 3rd street, while others speed through the intersection heading up Erie. I am a physically healthy adult raised in NYC, and I have feared at times to cross this intersection. Innocent children on the sidewalk do not stand a chance.
