With the change in traffic pattern on Van Brunt Street a few years ago, Union Street has now become even busier, with cars zooming down it well above the speed limit. Many families walk through the intersection at Union Street and Court Street, and cars both speed through the intersection and rarely slow down when they turn onto Court Street, posing a significant danger to pedestrians, especially the many children who walk this way (many by themselves) en route to/from PS 58 and PS 32.
Creating curb extensions at this busy intersection would help improve pedestrian safety, especially for children.
