Enhancing Safety for Children at Fordham Road & Webster Avenue: A Comprehensive Approach

Over the past five years, Fordham Road and Webster Avenue has become the third most dangerous intersection for children, with 26 incidents involving vehicle collisions. This analysis proposes multi-tiered solutions including short-term actions like implementing a Leading Pedestrian Interval and raised crosswalks, middle-term strategies such as widening medians and installing bike bypass lanes, and long-term plans for corner extensions and realigning traffic signals. Our aim is to prioritize pedestrian safety and create a more secure environment for neighborhood families.
