South Brooklyn parents say kids are in danger from faded school crossings
Quaglione inspects streets to uncover extent of problem
Kids face a hidden danger every day on their way to and from school due to faded and nearly undetectable “School Crossing” markings in the streets near schools in Bay Ridge, according to nervous parents who are demanding that the city do something about it.
“The drivers don’t know to watch for kids crossing the street because the “School Crossing” paint has faded away. You can’t even see it anymore,” one mother of a P.S. 264 parent told the Brooklyn Eagle. “God forbid something happens.”
Another parent alerted John Quaglione, a Republican running for City Council in the 43rd Council District, and requested that he look into it. Quaglione is running against Democrat Justin Brannan in the Nov. 7 election.
