Tragic Bus Collision

I want to take a moment to thank the Central Station Officers, Officers from the De-partments Traffic Company, the Fire Department, MTA, the Union Square BID andvarious other agencies who all came together last Friday to respond to and man-age the horrific collision involving a tour bus at Post and Stockton. I was on scenewithin 10 minutes of the collision and the training we all received was put into actionas all of the agencies, working very well together, were able to get the injured tohospitals and quickly control the scene. I am grateful that more people were notseriously injured or worse.

Traffic Citations

Central Station Officers wrote 1,105 citations in the month of October, which was up 11% from the yearprior. We are seeing far too often pedestrians hit by motorists in the crosswalk and so we are focusingon this violation in an effort to reduce collisions. Please be patient when driving around the district and

take a moment to provide the right of way to pedestrians.

Have a great weekend!
