Walk Safe with a Doc May 8, 2021

NYCTS and the Long Island Health Collaborative teamed up with Friends of Brookville Park (F.O.B.P) for last Saturday's Walk Safe with a Doc event, part of the #WalkSafeLongIsland initiative. Many thanks to Dr. Keasha Guerrier of Long Island Jewish Medical Center for speaking about the many health benefits of walking, and for addressing some timely questions about COVID-19 vaccines and the pandemic. During our walk, the #NYCTS team gave valuable insight into pedestrian and bike laws in place to keep us safe.

Missed out on this walk? Stay tuned for details about our next event!

Streets Week!: New York City Lowers Speed Limits on 45 Miles of Major Streets

"Eleven high-crash outer borough corridors to see speed limits reduced; NYPD will also crack down on speeding NEW YORK—Mayor Bill de Blasio announced today that speed limits will be reduced on 45 miles of major streets with some the highest rates of crashes across Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. The NYPD will conduct a weeklong pedestrian and cyclist safety enforcement blitz, across all 77 patrol precincts, to crack down on drivers who speed and fail to yield. The announcements kick off Streets Week!, a suite of transportation, traffic safety, and open space policy announcements to double down on the transformative Vision Zero initiative." #streetsweeknyc https://www1.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/
