Call Lander’s Office To Ask For Change At Ocean Pkwy/Church Ave Intersection

Following the tragic death of pedestrian Ngozi Agbim yesterday as she was struck while crossing Ocean Parkway/Prospect Expressway at Church Avenue, neighbors have been asking what can be done to that intersection to make it safer. As many have noted, this was in fact a winning project in Councilmember Brad Lander’s Participatory Budgeting process last year:

Pedestrian Hazards at the Prospect Expressway – $200,000

Repairs & additions to badly damaged and dangerous 9 lane Prospect Expressway pedestrian crossing at Church Avenue, area and landscape. 606 votes

Lander is trying to move this project ahead with the city, and you can help by calling to ask for a quicker action. Call Lander’s office today at 718-499-1090 if you would like to see safety improvements at this intersection.
