Join Assemblyman Joe Borelli in telling Mayor de Blasio to bring deer traffic signs to Staten Island.
The deer population on Staten Island has increased exponentially even from just a few short years ago. With deer-vehicle collisions becoming more common and our neighbors resorting to posting homemade deer traffic signs in especially problematic areas, there's no greater time for the city government to make an effort to show their concern for the safety of motorists and passengers. It would be comical if it weren't so sad that we have deer poachers on this island, but the government refuses to acknowledge a present danger to motorists by exerting the absolute minimum amount of effort and money to install a single deer traffic sign.

Almost hit one on Richmond Ave last week. These things are everywhere now and nobody seems to care.
Too many accidents lately. The city needs to stop ignoring us and do their jobs.
Why is it so hard to get a simple warning sign? Its not like we are asking for a new highway.
Staten Island is being overrun. My car repair bill says it all.
SERIOUSLY. I see them standing right by the road every single morning. Just put up the signs already before someone gets really hurt.
The city and state have to make some effort
deer are beautiful but dangerous.They need to be managed.

The cost of the signs are a small price to pay for safety! Once again the City neglects our requests...
