New York Accident Prevention: Pedestrian island and other safety measures to be installed at deadly intersection of Ocean Parkway and the Prospect Expressway with Church Avenue in Brooklyn

After a woman was struck by a truck causing her death at the Ocean Parkway Intersection in Brooklyn last June (see our previous blog), the New York Sate Department of Transportation finally approved a $200,000 crosswalk makeover that had been delayed since 2012.

The construction is expected to start this fall.
