​

Bill de Blasio's Vision Zero sought to eliminate all deaths from crashes regardless of whether on bike, foot, or inside vehicles. Yet, despite aggressive pedestrian-street reengineering between 2007 and 2023, pedestrian fatalities have not declined. North Slope has remained unsafe and a noisy boulevard for cut-through traffic from other parts of the borough. Over the past 20 years, Park Slope residents have witnessed an increasing amount of traffic and unsafe road conditions, with countless accidents resulting in tragic deaths and injuries, including mothers and children. Civic organizations petitioned the DOT in 2012 to install a slow zone, but it was rejected (although Brooklyn Heights, Clinton Hill, and Prospect Heights did gain approvals). In 2015, the DOT stopped allocating funding to new slow zones altogether. The Task Force is surveying the community to understand better what traffic safety issues residents are concerned about in our neighborhood. After completing our survey, we will present the results and a proposal to the DOT, the relevant representatives in Brooklyn, and the community at large. 

Together, we can make a significant difference. Your participation in this survey is not just a step but a crucial and decisive one towards our shared two main goals of more safety and better living conditions. 

Thank you, and have an amazing and safe summer!                   The SJPCA Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Task Force
