CM COHEN AND DOT ANNOUNCE TRAFFIC SAFETY IMPROVEMENT NEAR KINGSBRIDGE SCHOOL


Council Member Andrew Cohen; Nivardo Lopez, Acting Borough Commissioner, DOT; Frank Patterson, P.S. 7 Principal, parents and children from PS 7 met at the corner of Corlear Avenue and West 232nd Street, outside P.S. 7. to cheer the placement of a 4-way stop sign designation by the DOT.
The intersection in the middle of a residential community, within blocks of several schools, has been the scene of numerous crashes throughout the years including one PS 7 student being struck by a car.


Above - Councilman Cohen gives a brief history of the intersection at West 232nd Street and Corlear Avenue, the scene of many traffic accidents and one student being hit by a car over the past few years.
Below - PS7 Principal Frank Patterson thanks Councilman Cohen and Bronx DOT Commissioner Nivardo Lopez (to Councilman Cohen's right) for making the intersection now a four way stop. He added now a crossing guard is needed.
