A Brooklyn resident was fatally struck in a hit-and-run incident on Third Avenue, prompting city officials to announce plans for a major redesign of the street. The proposed changes aim to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists following the tragic accident. Advocates have long called for traffic calming measures, including narrowed lanes and speed bumps, to reduce vehicle speeds in the area. The redesign could include expanded sidewalks and dedicated bike lanes as part of broader efforts to enhance public safety.
