New York City Council Member Chaim Deutsch (D-Brooklyn) will host a town hall meeting at Brooklyn Borough Hall on Tuesday, April 1 at 7 pm, where Brooklyn residents of the 48th Council District are invited to discuss Vision Zero, an action plan outlining how to eliminate traffic-related fatalities. The town hall meeting will provide residents with a venue where they can share information regarding unsafe traffic conditions with city officials.

“Nobody knows the streets in your community better than you do,” said Council Member Chaim Deutsch. “This town hall meeting will give residents an opportunity to voice their concerns and speak out on potentially dangerous traffic locations.”

At Tuesday’s town hall meeting, Council Member Deutsch will discuss legislative measures and other initiatives in an effort to ensure our streets are safe and traffic-related fatalities are eliminated. Community members who attend the meeting will be provided the opportunity to point out specific problem locations throughout the borough where they perceive hazards or additional safety concerns to exist. Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams and other city council members representing Brooklyn neighborhoods will also be in attendance.

Council Member Chaim Deutsch represents the 48th Council District, where traffic accidents claimed two lives earlier this month. On March 18, a 77-year-old woman was killed walking with her family along E. 19th Street between avenues T and U, when a car drove in reverse onto a sidewalk and struck her. More recently, an 82-year-old woman was fatally struck by motorist as she attempted to cross Gravesend Neck Road near E. 16th Street on March 21.

“As a strong proponent of the Vision Zero plan to eliminate traffic fatalities, I hope you’ll join me at this important town hall meeting” said Council Member Deutsch. “By working together, we can prevent further tragedies from occurring in our communities.”
