A dangerous
intersection at 188th Street and Lorillard Place in
Belmont has some residents concerned for the safety of the community.
Jeff Vargon, a resident who has lived at the intersection
for 30 years, reached out to the Bronx Community Board Number 6 with his
concerns back in October 2021.
“It’s
gotten to the point where there’s been so many accidents, so many incidents
where something has to be done about this,” said Vargon.
Vargon
was told that three intersections in his neighborhood would be considered for
mobile speed enforcement.
According
to a statement from the Department of Transportation Friday, the department is
currently working in communication with the community board and exploring
possible safety measures in the area.
The
District Manager of the Bronx Community followed up with the department on
Vargon’s request, but they do not have an update on future safety plans.
