Office of Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Yesterday, I joined Senator Espaillat, Council Member Rosenthal and
NYPD Traffic Division Chief Chan to announce the NYPD's enforcement
of the new 25 MPH speed limit on Broadway's "Arterial Slow Zone."
This zone, announced in May of this year, will stretch from 220th Street to
59th Street.
Police officers will now ticket drivers found speeding over 25 as
opposed to 30 in this area. Since 2008, 22 people have been killed
by cars in this stretch, a statistic we would like to limit to 0 for the future.
Please help us save lives by driving at lower speeds and remaining
conscious of all others who use our streets including cyclists and
pedestrians. With your help, we can achieve Vision Zero. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ydanis Rodriguez,
