Hello, Mima Neighbors,

This petition is to advocate for a change to our intersection. Almost 2 years ago, I presented the dangers and injuries that have occurred at this intersection at the Community Board meeting. In response, they sent a letter to the DOT and Port Authority requesting an evaluation of this intersection and implementation of protection for pedestrians. The only change that has been made is that there is slightly more traffic officer presence at certain hours of the morning. THIS IS NOT ENOUGH! Most days when I am trying to cross, I am on my own signaling to the cars to slow down, fighting my way through them, and often getting screamed at for making them stop so I can have the right of way. I know I am not alone! If there are enough of us that sign, I believe our representatives will take note, and perhaps more will be done to make this intersection safer for all.

Thank you.
