In response to advocacy efforts of Council Member Elizabeth Crowley and the PS/IS 128 community, the Department of Transportation installed a crosswalk on the corner of 65th Drive and 69th Place to promote orderly and safe passage for students and nearby residents.
“I am pleased that the DOT has answered our calls to install a much needed crosswalk to improve traffic safety for our students at PS/IS 128,” said Council Member Elizabeth Crowley (D-30, Queens). “The new crosswalk is a great first step but there is more work needed, such as installing a street light, to make sure our students and residents are safe.”
In 2008 Council Member Elizabeth Crowley was elected to represent the 30th Council District covering the Glendale, Maspeth, Middle Village, Richmond Hill, Ridgewood, and Woodhaven neighborhoods. Elizabeth was the first female and first Democrat elected to represent that seat. She has chaired the Fire & Criminal Justice Services Committee since January 2010 which oversees the Fire Department, Department of Correction, Department of Probation, and Criminal Justice Coordinator’s Office.
