After a [crash at the intersection of 8th Avenue and Windsor Place in July](/blog/crime/collision-at-windsor-place-and-8th-avenue), we heard from many readers that this intersection is one of many problem intersections in the area.

The [Department of Transportation recently presented a number of locations in Windsor Terrace](/blog/transportation/heated-debate-about-speed-humps-in-windsor-terrace-at-cb7-transportation-meeting) that would be suitable for speed humps, which caused some tempers to fly at the first Community Board 7 Transportation Committee meeting to discuss the humps earlier this month.

Many residents have expressed the need for a traffic signal at this intersection. [Community Board 7](http://www.brooklyncb7.org/?ref=bklyner.com) agrees that the intersection should be studied and sent a letter at the beginning of August to the DOT asking them to consider putting a traffic light at the intersection.

“Speeding has been a complaint of residents in this part of our community for quite some time. Our residents are concerned that the seniors at the \[Bishop Boardman\] housing facility are vulnerable to speeding vehicles and believe they deserve a safe, controlled crossing point on their corner,” the letter reads.

The[ DOT](http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/home/home.shtml?ref=bklyner.com) responded today to the CB7 saying that they will conduct a study on the intersection and they plan to report back to CB7 with the results by November.

You can read the full letter from CB7 below.
