I am gathering accounts from parents who witness near misses at the intersection of Yale and Rutgers every morning. Send your own stories of dangerous traffic encounters to the borough council and demand they address this hazard now.

The momentum behind this petition is undeniable and shows just how many neighbors are tired of these dangerous intersections. Now we need to turn this energy into action by emailing your city council representative today to demand a crossing guard at Yale and Rutgers.

I find it sad that where there are currently crossing guards there is either a light or a stop sign. Yet for the kids on southside they are expected to play frogger.
We live 6 houses from this intersection and can attest to how dangerous it is. Cars on Yale speed and rarely yield to us when we are crossing - even when we are mid-street! Please help make our kids' foot-powered commute as valued and safe as possible!
I want to ride my bike but my mom won't let me because there isn't a crossing guard. Please let me ride my bike to school.
My son rides his bike to school almost every day. Although he is a very capable cyclist, I worry about the speed and carelessness of drivers at the intersection of Yale and Rutgers. A crossing guard before and after school is long overdue.
I would love to have a crossing guard at the intersection of Yale and Rutgers, without one there at this moment I do not allow my 3rd grader to walk or ride his bike to school alone. With the addition of a crossing guard there I would allow him to do so. Thank you, Tricia Benedetto
Much needed!
A crossing guard or traffic light is a must at this intersection. There are so many kids who live south of Yale who are eager to walk or bike to school. Parents should not feel uneasy to let their kids walk/bike to school. So they meet their kids to make sure the kids get across Yale safely. A cross guard or traffic light would go a long way and encourage more independent walking/biking to school.

There is actually a sign telling motorists to stop for pedestrians, but I would say an average of only 30% obey the sign and the law. I walk my 9 year old across Yale to wait for the bus because the possibility of him being hit while crossing at this legal crosswalk frightens us both.
