PSA! We installed new tree guards in the corridor as part of our mission to beautify our streets. We also repaired a tree guard on Atlantic Avenue by the Queensbound BQE ramp after it was destroyed (again 😒) by a vehicle.

This is our reminder to the community to remain alert and vigilant at all times! Vehicular violence on Atlantic Avenue is constant and deadly, swipe to see the shocking scenes in which vehicles have forcefully found themselves on the sidewalk. 🚨

We recognize this dangerous pattern and as a Vision Zero Corridor, we will continue to advocate for the safety of our community and pedestrians. This includes calling for the closure of the BQE on-ramp to Queens, enforcement of illegal placard parking, incorporating traffic calming measures and red-light cameras, and more.
