To The Editor,
I attended the July open house hosted by BPCA.
During that meeting, BPCA stated that while in meetings with the DOT about safety aspects of South End Avenue, the BPCA decided to put safety concerns on hold while they investigated a beautification project of the street.
The discussion with the DOT was not disclosed except a brief mention that the DOT wanted BPCA to help with expenses.
What was proposed; stop signs or traffic signals? How soon would these be implemented? Isn’t the safety of the community an utmost concern?
The idea that BPCA spent over $250,000 on a poorly conceived and implemented survey is shocking.
Wouldn’t this money have been better spent on making our community safer now?

Such an obvious question. Apparently the BPCA staff do not venture into the neighborhood during their work hours – and they don’t live here – to understand the many aspects of street, pedestrian and bicycle traffic that need improvement.
