queens children’s march

Hundreds of local family members in Corona Park joined Queens elected officials and Families for Safe Streets to say enough is enough when it comes to traffic violence as they mourn the recent deaths of two children on Queens streets. Participants rallied and marched for street safety measures, loudly demanding passage of Sammy’s Law in the state budget and other safety measures as Queens reels from several recent deaths, including 8-year-old Bayron Palomino Arroyo, who was killed by a driver while crossing the street with his mother and brother two weeks ago. Seventeen people have been killed in traffic crashes in Queens so far this year.

Here is a video of the event, and an excellent write-up by the Queens Daily Eagle.
