    Turner Pl Brooklyn, NY, 11218, USA - City Council District 40

    I wanted to reach out and share that a serious accident happened at PS 889 on the corner of Coney Island Avenue and Turner Place on Tuesday 13th October at approx. 10am. My one year old daughter and I were collecting online school support materials for my son and narrowly missed flying glass (or worse) as a car collided in front of us. It is only luck and reflexes that I was able to swerve the stroller out of harms way.

    I've reached out to Ms. Anderson when it happened and not yet got a response.

    Grateful for the crossing guards that are on duty when school is in session but I think the DOT can and should do more to protect us, especially as a mother lost her life last summer a few blocks up on Church Ave.

    Yesterday's incident happened at the corner for Pre-K and K drop offs where scooters, strollers and small children are commonplace.

    It is only a matter of time before a serious accident happens to one of our families.

    Requesting urgent attention from DOT, a traffic survey needs to be implemented at a minimum.

    I’ve reached out to our district’s Council Member Eugene alerting him to the situation.

    With thanks for your assistance,
    Chantal House

    Community requests the DOT to install speed bumps on East 18th street between Newkirk and Foster Avenues. A large daycare is situated at this location and additional pedestrian and car passenger safety measures are urgently needed.

    Thank you.
