"Santosuosso: The things that make our city more livable for seniors are the things that make our city more livable for everyone, and that's why listening to seniors is so important for everyone seeking to work in local government. Fixing broken sidewalks, cutting down on reckless driving and moped use on sidewalks must be a priority so seniors can navigate our neighborhoods safely."
"Santosuosso: We need a full assessment of the ways in which our transit system is failing our seniors, and dedicate funding to fixing those issues, like providing elevators at train stations and fixing inefficiencies with Access-A-Ride. Sarantopoulos: Safety comes first. We need more targeted NYPD patrols, better street lighting, and real consequences for repeat offenders. Every senior should be able to walk to the store or visit a friend without fear."
