Tottenville High School is home to over 4000 people during school days. We are now mourning the loss of one of our students: 17-year-old Janine Brawer. She was taken from us in a tragic accident that took place in front of our school on Friday, November 13, 2009. For years members of the Tottenville High School family have been complaining to no avail about the unsafe and neglected streets that surround our school. We hope that one good thing that comes from our heartbreaking loss will be improvements that make our streets safer. We ask the City of New York to make the streets surrounding our school safer with at least, but not limited to, a traffic light, sidewalks, clear crosswalks and tree-trimming.

The response from our community continues to remind me why this work is necessary. I am currently meeting with local officials to ensure Janine's memory leads to actual changes on these streets. Your signatures provide the weight we need to keep these conversations focused on student safety.

Seeing the momentum grow around this cause reminds me that we are finally being seen by the community at large. This response confirms that the safety of our students is a concern that resonates far beyond those of us who walk these halls every day.

RIP Janine. So sad this keeps happening. Maybe now the city will finally listen to us.

Too many kids have been hurt here. The city needs to wake up and fix these roads before another family has to go through this.

Its about time. I went to Tottenville years ago and it was just as dangerous then. Stop ignoring us.

The traffic around Tottenville is a nightmare during school hours. People drive way to fast and you cant see nothing because the trees are overgrown. FIX IT.

How many more students need to get hit before something actually changes? This is a school zone not a racetrack. Do your job NY.
