pedestrian safety

Family and friends will gather in Queensbridge to remember Ryo Oyamada, who was killed last year.

A safety initiative last Sunday handed out dozens of violations and summonses to cars — and bicyclists.

The meeting will be hosted by local pols and a civic group in Jackson Heights.

Officials say safety upgrades are needed following two recent incidents where pedestrians were struck.

The 25-year-old victim was hit and killed by a Q53 bus on Monday evening.

Cooper Stock's family wants the city to take the cabdriver who killed the boy off the road.

The 20th Precinct's top officer blamed recent crashes on pedestrians stepping into intersections. 

The 78th Precinct had officers pose as pedestrians and ticketed drivers who didn't yield.

Two people have been killed at the intersection of 60th Street and Third Avenue in recent years.

Community Board 7 identified intersections where residents say traffic conditions are unsafe.

The meeting comes in the wake of a series of fatal crashes.

The board agreed to ask the DOT to study the avenue with safety measures and a bike lane in mind. 

The deaths of Sammy Cohen Eckstein, Lucian Merryweather and Allison Liao have left many wanting changes.

Marchers shouted "Obey the lights, Jackson Heights" and "Drivers slow down, put your phones down."

The Three Children Too Many group hopes to educate and protect residents on busy streets.
