Jefferson Ave. runs from Claver Place in Bedford Stuyvesant through Bushwick. Drivers use Jefferson Avenue as a thoroughfare, pummling to catch all the green lights. Traffic on Jefferson Avenue has increase with the completion of street repairs and paving as well as the arrival of new business and gentrification. With over 300 households on Jefferson Avenue between Bedford and Nostrand Avenues, we have an abundance of children who travel and play on our sidewalks and streets. Additionally, our block is adjacent to Public School 3 and thus the population of children traveling Jefferson Avenue is multiplied during the school year. We must keep our residents, especially our children, safe.
