Gov. Hochul's decision to send state troopers to Roosevelt Avenue highlights a renewed effort to tackle the rampant crime and prostitution previously ignored despite community complaints.
The collaboration of numerous agencies, including the NYPD and the FDNY, with over 200 officers deployed to address ongoing issues underscores a significant commitment to reclaim Roosevelt Avenue.
Despite the planned crackdown for 90 days, community members and local officials remain skeptical about lasting improvements, given the history of temporary law enforcement efforts in the area.
City Councilman Francisco Moya's remarks suggest that a lack of sustained enforcement and New York's lenient crime laws are contributing factors to the recurring problems on Roosevelt Avenue.
