Residents and advocates are urging the Adams administration to stop plans to return motor vehicle traffic to Silver Lake Park's two-lane road, which has been car-free since the pandemic. Following a recent attack on a jogger, some officials believe reinstating cars will enhance safety. However, locals argue that this move could heighten the danger of traffic-related incidents and highlight alternative ways to improve safety. Advocates, including Transportation Alternatives, are mobilizing support to keep the park off-limits to vehicles, reflecting community sentiment for maintaining a safe, car-free environment for recreation.
The Adams administration must abandon its rushed move to return motor vehicle traffic to a narrow two-lane road cutting through Silver Lake Park on Staten Island's north shore, residents and advocates are demanding.
What happened to that poor woman is awful, but re-opening the road to cars is not the solution! There are other ways to address safety in the park.
