Show Notes
Four-year-old Zachariah Padilla tragically lost his life in a hit-and-run accident in Brooklyn. The driver, who was heading north on a green light, fled without stopping. Safe streets advocates are urging Mayor Zohran Mamdanis administration to lower the speed limit on the stretch from 25 mph to 20 mph, citing Sammys Law and the high number of speeders caught by a speed camera at the intersection. The group emphasizes the need for safer streets for kids, as the previous mayors team only slowed speeds on two percent of eligible roads. The DOT has not commented on the calls for change, and police are still searching for the driver with no arrests made.
