Neighbors in Queens are once again urging local authorities to address long-standing safety concerns at the busy Union Turnpike intersection, where repeated incidents have raised alarms about pedestrian and traffic risks. Residents and advocates highlight the lack of proper crosswalks, inadequate signage, and high-speed traffic as persistent dangers in the area. Community leaders emphasize that despite previous discussions, no meaningful action has been taken to mitigate these hazards. The renewed push comes as frustration grows over what many describe as a failure to prioritize public safety in the face of ongoing accidents.
