Will Get A New Traffic Light
A traffic light will be installed at the intersection of 47th Street and Skillman Avenue in Sunnyside.
Local residents and motorists have complained that Skillman Avenue and 47th Street have become heavily trafficked streets and it is difficult for pedestrians to cross the street at this location.
“I’m pleased that New York City DOT has responded to my requests for a traffic light at this intersection,” said Assemblywoman Catherine Nolan. “It has become notoriously dangerous, and the traffic light is extremely important for both pedestrians and motorists. Working with neighborhood residents we were able to secure this traffic lights.”
The traffic signal is scheduled to be installed by April 30, 2003.
DOT Queens Borough Commissioner Joseph Cannisi responded to Assemblywoman Nolan’s requests by providing for recently installed, temporary Stop signs at this intersection.
