Council member Aviles,

Next week, school is starting.  Many students from MS 936 have to cross Third Avenue at 59th Street to get to the subway on Fourth.

A lot of students cross after 5PM when there are no crossing guards.  This is a tragedy waiting to happen.  Third Avenue is a dangerous road.  Cars routinely speed and cut lights trying to get on the highway.  The road is build to accommodate cars rather than pedestrians. Just this week someone was killed trying to cross Third Avenue only a few blocks away.

I am requesting that you use your influence to bring attention to this dangerous situation and demand the the Mamdani administration immediately implement speed reduction on Third Avenue.  Also importantly have crossing guards available between 4:45 and 5:45 to get students safely across the dangerous road.

Please keep me apprised of your progress in this endeavor.

Thank you,
