New Lights Installed at the Corner of New Utrecht and 51st Street

By Y.M. Lowy

After a Readers Writes article on BoroPark24 highlighted safety concerns at the corner of 51 st Street and New Utrecht Avenue, right in front of the post office, the DOT was seen installing a new streetlight and relocating the crosswalk light for better visibility.

The area had been poorly lit, especially with the tracks running above. These improvements are to reduce accidents and make the neighborhood safer, especially at night.
