New Center Yellow Line For Riverdale Avenue, So Where Are the Crosswalks?



  A nice new double yellow center line has been painted from West 231st Street up the Riverdale Avenue hill. The old yellow line had worn out as is the case on many roadways where the lane markings are wearing out much quicker than they use to. In the photo above while it may look like trick photography it is the street that is very rough and bumpy at this intersection of Riverdale Avenue South and West 235th Street. Something else of note is missing as there are no crosswalks in the photo at the corner of a dangerous street where many accidents have occurred.
  

  This photo is of the West 238th Street crosswalk which is marred by cuts, patches, and trenches from Con Edison gas pipeline work months ago. Again there is no crosswalk, and this is an accident waiting to happen for a pedestrian to trip or fall at. The popular Salvatore's of Soho restaurant on Riverdale Avenue is in the background.
