"The Adams administration must abandon its rushed move to return motor vehicle traffic to a narrow two-lane road cutting through Silver Lake Park on Staten Island's north shore, residents and advocates are demanding."
"What happened to that poor woman is awful, but re-opening the road to cars is not the solution! There are other ways to address safety in the park."
Residents and advocates are urging the Adams administration to stop plans to return motor vehicle traffic to Silver Lake Park's two-lane road, which has been car-free since the pandemic. Following a recent attack on a jogger, some officials believe reinstating cars will enhance safety. However, locals argue that this move could heighten the danger of traffic-related incidents and highlight alternative ways to improve safety. Advocates, including Transportation Alternatives, are mobilizing support to keep the park off-limits to vehicles, reflecting community sentiment for maintaining a safe, car-free environment for recreation.
