Read NYC DOT’s Truck Route Network Redesign Report here: www.nyc.gov/html/dot/dow....

In Appedix B they identify Morgan Avenue as the most dangerous trucking corridor in the entire city. This is a direct result of their refusal to #MakeMorganSafe!
Photo background is a chaotic Morgan Avenue as seen from the middle of the street. Bike lanes on both sides of the street are hidden under illegally parked trucks, the sidewalk is littered with vehicles and a turning tractor trailer is stopping traffic in both directions. Overlayed on the photo is a bar graph showing the most dangerous trucking corridors in New York City. This data is from NYC DOT’s Freight Mobility unit and is measuring the number of people killed or seriously injured by trucks per mile (KSI). #8 is Knickerbocker Avenue at 2.6 KSI #7 is Croton Avenue at 2.63 KSI #6 is 57th Street at 2.94 KSI #5 is 125th Street 3.4 KSI #4 is Henry Hudson Parkway at 3.4 KSI #3 is Houston St at 3.41 KSI #2 is 138th Street at 3.83 KSI #1 is Morgan Avenue at 4.5 KSI Above the graph white text with a red background reads “DOT declares Morgan Avenue most dangerous truck route in New York City!” Below the graph, white text reads “people killed or seriously injured by trucks per mile”

This month we’re meeting in person at Maria Hernandez Park for a social hang and some campaign updates. See you Monday (8/18) at 6:30pm!
Flier for NBKTA monthly committee meeting - the background color is pumpkin orange. On the left is a rectangle with the NBKTA logo (a safety cone orange circle with NBKTA in white letters in the circle) and the words monthly meeting underneath. To the right of the rectangle are two squares - in the top square is a white graphic of a cruiser bicycle with a basket full of flowers, in the bottom square is a white graphic outlining a parent and child crossing the street in a crosswalk. Underneath these shapes is the text “6:30 - 8pm. Aug 18. Maria Hernandez Park. Knickerbocker and Starr. linktr.ee/NBKTA”

Join us tonight to honor the pedestrian who was killed on Morgan Avenue this past Wednesday, and to demand the city finally make Morgan safe.
Graphic for a candlelight vigil and community speakout, honoring a pedestrian who was killed by traffic violence on Morgan Avenue in Williamsburg Brooklyn. The background is dark brown and orange with a blurred image of a lit candle in the center. The text reads “another neighbor has been killed on dangerous Morgan Avenue. Join us for a Candlelight Vigil and Community Speakout. Friday August 8th - 7pm. Morgan Avenue between Metropolitan and Sharon.”

We were on Morgan Ave in Bushwick to observe and document the issues that make it difficult to walk and bike on the street. We sent a letter to @nycdot.bsky.social to demand safety in the street.
