hazardous crossing to bike path on Bronx River Parkway -need crosswalk

Look at few second video tape of the most dangerous Bronx River Parkway bike path location with NO safe crosswalk to neighborhoods--
WE NEED A CROSSWALK ON OLD TARRYTOWN ROAD----SOMEONE COULD LOSE THEIR LIFE!

I bike to work frequently. I use the Bronx River Parkway pathway at least a few times a week and cross the bike path at the Old Tarrytown Road/Bronx River Parkway location.

There is no crosswalk at this location. I am not the only bicyclist or pedestrian who crosses the Parkway at this location. I have seen many others in recent weeks.

The need for a crosswalk is evident --as you will see by clicking onto the link. I arranged for a drone to take a visual of cars making left turns, right turns---making it very dangerous for most cyclists or pedestrians to cross.

I had contacted the county last year. Legislator Jewel Williams Johnson referred this issue to the appropriate county officials but we have not yet heard back.

I have asked Westchester County to create a safe crosswalk at this location. I got involved in this after being reached by other residents. Because there is a bike path on the parkway -and pedestrians/bicyclists who live on Old Tarrytown Road or on streets near the parkway want to use and enjoy the path - people will cross the parkway to use the path whether there is a safe crosswalk or not. If a safe crosswalk is not built at this location --it's very probable that someone will eventually die in an accident.

I feel we have an obligation to make it safe for residents to cross the parkway.
