Janine Kiley (committee chair) opened the fully virtual meeting, reviewed a three-part agenda (West 3rd Street redesign, Bleecker Street safety, Morton Street fatality response) and introduced committee members and panelists present (Janet Liff, vice chair; DOT; NYPD/6th Precinct; council staff). She noted prior CB2 resolutions on West 3rd (2017, 2018, 2022).
Community Board 2's Traffic & Transportation Committee met Jan. 27 (virtual) to review safety problems on West 3rd Street (between Mercer and LaGuardia Place), discuss a crosswalk and safety treatments on Bleecker Street (Worcester/Green Street area), and to review DOT's response to a November pedestrian fatality at a Morton Street garage exit. The committee voted to seek a redesign of West 3rd (remove the extended sidewalk, create a curb-protected double bike lane and interim measures) and to request DOT follow-up on visual treatments for Morton Street.
