Comments on: Fatal Crash Was Preceded By Complaints About Nearby Intersection http://www.streetsblog.org/2008/09/12/fatal-crash-was-preceded-by-complaints-about-nearby-intersection/ Covering the New York City Streets Renaissance Mon, 23 Nov 2009 00:01:47 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: Peter Cardinal http://www.streetsblog.org/2008/09/12/fatal-crash-was-preceded-by-complaints-about-nearby-intersection/comment-page-1/#comment-60402 Peter Cardinal Fri, 12 Dec 2008 02:54:05 +0000 http://www.streetsblog.org/?p=4556#comment-60402 "A friend" #5 & 6 - do know Jonathan's background? I am looking up my best friend from Greenwich Village in 4th - 7th grade - his dad's name was Gil & I think he was a newspaper editor & his mom's name was Pat (divorced). He lived on 10th St at that time, & when he was in my wedding party he lived on the upper east side. Is this the same Johnny Millstein? The age is right, as I just turned 50. It would be bittersweet if after all these years I looked him up right after he was killed. If this is him, does Deborah have a phone #? "A friend" #5 & 6 - do know Jonathan's background?

I tend to agree, but that raises the question of how we can allow personal cars and SUVs at all in the city if they are too threatening for a police officer. What about the rest of us?

You may get some dirty looks from bystanders, and you will probably feel uncomfortable yourself, but if your intent is to help record facts that might help in the face of the reflexively biased news reporting we've all seen, DO IT.

Converting the street to a two-way is one. Would raised intersections be useful? What would be the most effective form of traffic calming on this street? Converting the street to a two-way is one.
