[image: 2018-09-20.jpg]Since 2012, the 2.25 mile stretch of Amsterdam Ave
from West 110th Street to West 155th Street has seen no fewer than 3
pedestrian fatalities and nearly 750 injuries. The status quo on Amsterdam
is unacceptable, and we need to take action now and redesign this critical
North-South corridor in Northern Manhattan

to make it safer for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers alike before any
more lives are lost.

The proposed redesign along Amsterdam Avenue would extend the ‘Complete
Street’ already done by NYC DOT

 on Amsterdam South of West 110th, and as Citi Bike expands in to Northern
Manhattan, would provide much needed bike lanes. These improvements to the
current streetscape have the potential to not only make it safer for
pedestrians and cyclists, but also ease traffic flow.

In the coming weeks I will continue to work with Transportation
Alternatives, Families For Safe Streets, Friends of Morningside Park
and Community
Board 9 Manhattan to make this redesign a reality -- we can't afford to
wait any longer.

Sincerely,

Mark Levine
