Join HKFM in the Traffic Protest, June 13 2009!

CHEKPEDS Traffic Protest to draw attention to dangerous pedestrian area.
June 13: Traffic protest

On Saturday, June 13th there will be an anti-traffic protest on Ninth Avenue, 2-4:00 p.m., sponsored by CHEKPEDS (Clinton-Hell's Kitchen Pedesitrian Safety Coalition), Transportation Alternatives and

HKNA (The Hell's Kitchen Neighborhood Association).

The crowd will walk solemnly down Ninth Avenue behind a New Orleans style funeral brass band. We will stop to place bouquets at five sites where pedestrians/cyclists have lost their lives to vehicles. All of our elected officials will be participating.

The gathering place is the NW corner of 45th Street and 9th Avenue; ending at 36th Street, Ramp C to the Lincoln Tunnel.

Who we are: The coalition was founded by residents and community leaders to reclaim 9th Avenue from the hellish Lincoln Tunnel traffic . The coalition is growing rapidly with Businesses, Institutions and Property Owners joining in to correct the dangerous conditions in the neighborhood : pedestrians risk their lives crossing the streets, children cannot safely walk to schools; residents cannot breathe or sleep; public transportation is ineffective; local stores experience slow and costly deliveries; personal safety is at risk .

More information to come. Please join us. We need to bring attention to this dire situation!
