I was pleased to attend the NYC DOT’s Coney Island Transportation Study presentation at the New York Aquarium, where I engaged with officials and community members on the future of local transportation. The study highlighted ongoing congestion, rising seasonal traffic, and the need for better flow, connectivity, and resiliency. These findings underscore the importance of infrastructure that serves residents, businesses, and the millions who visit Coney Island each year. I also reiterated my strong support for a Bayview Avenue overpass, a critical project that would improve traffic circulation, emergency evacuation routes, first-responder access, and public safety across the peninsula. Thank you to Brooklyn Borough Commissioner Keith Bray for hosting this informative session. I look forward to continuing to work with government partners to deliver the transportation improvements Coney Island needs.
