The city confirmed they are assigning a crossing guard to our intersection. It has been an exhausting road to get here but I am relieved that our children will finally have the protection they deserve. We should stay alert to ensure this stays in place once they arrive.

Dear Commissioner O’Neill,
We are turning to you as Commissioner of the NYPD who has always partnered with the community to protect the lives of its citizens. Yeshiva Ketana of Queens is an elementary school for 440 boys ages 4 to 14, located at 78-15 Parsons Blvd, Fresh Meadows, NY 11366. Every morning and afternoon there are hundreds of children being dropped off, picked up, walking to and from the school. We, the Parents of the children attending Yeshiva Ketana of Queens, are extremely concerned for the safety of our children.
The intersection between 78thAve and Parsons Boulevard is a busy thoroughfare without the benefit of an all way stop sign or a traffic light. There are so many close calls with cars speeding down the street from all directions, as children attempt to cross to and from school. We fear that it is only a matter of time before there is, G-d forbid, a serious incident.
We implore you to request the addition of an NYPD School Crossing Guard for the safety of our children.School crossing guards are found at most schools throughout the city– many of which are on streets that are considerably less active than Parsons Blvd and 78thAve. All parents should be able to send their children to school without the concern of their children reaching school safely.
We thank you in advance for your consideration of this matter – as well as for all that the NYPD does on a daily basis to keep our children and community safe.
Respectfully,

Seeing this grow is exhausting but it keeps me moving forward. I am drained by how long this is taking yet your belief in this cause keeps me pushing through the wall.

We walk to school. Crossing the streets near the school is very dangerous. A crossing gaurd is truly needed. Thanks
As a parent of three young children, the danger of a child being hurt by a car at this busy intersection is very concerning. Please do everything possible to provide a NYPD School Crossing Guard.
Please add a NYPD school crossing guard by intersection of 78th Ave and Parsons Blvd by Yeshiva Ketana.
Please protect our children. My heart always races when I see the children at that intersection crossing. Thank G-d nothing has happened at that intersection. We have to do all we can to keep it that way and not rely on daily miracles.
Please protect our children by assigning a Crossing Guard to our school. Thank you from the mother of two Yeshiva Ketana boys

It would be so nice to have a crossing guard at such a busy School I don't send my kids there but there are so many wonderful children that go there
