"I want to acknowledge the heaviness of the tragic passing of this young man who was just three years younger than I am. This is absolutely not the first time that this has happened,"
"If we do not mobilize to prioritize Cortland as the high injury corridor that it is, it will not be the last,"
"I'm a new mother. I love all of the deterrents we're doing. What I'm interested in really is accountability,"
"Respectfully, six months is too long,"
Binod Budhathoki, 30, was killed early Saturday in a hit-and-run on Courtland Avenue, also referenced as Cortland Avenue in accounts. Neighbors and local officials reported multiple crashes on Cortland over recent years, including nine injuries in the last three years and one death at Cortland and Mission last year. District 9 Supervisor Jackie Fielder described the death as tragic and urged prioritization of the corridor. Police reported viewing video showing erratic driving and noted a recent arrest tied to a similar incident. Residents demanded faster accountability and raised limitations on adding speed cameras due to state caps.
