Happy New Year #Peekskill. This this crosswalk is now a crosswalk! Even if there’s lack of enforcement, physical barriers are still the superior move for pedestrian safety @peekskill_walks

There are zero crosswalks or safe connections to Monument Park. @CityOfPeekskill
Notice how other cities such as Tampa FL improve not only the park, but accessibility and walkability. This is what makes a city block inviting @peekskill_walks

It is NOT safe walking in #Peekskill! No one ever slows or stops at these stops signs! Constantly ignored by our elected officials! Why does someone need to die for change?! @peekskill_walks

Nothing says “Tree City USA” quite like the ongoing arborcide around Peekskill.
Someone recently cut down *every damn tree* in the two lots next to the brewery on Water Street in the waterfront district. Here’s 2019 and today:

Impact of 20mph speed limit on motor insurance premiums revealed - In June 2024, Esure announced that it had seen a 20% drop in claims for car accidents in Wales since the Welsh government’s 20mph speed limit was introduced. buff.ly/4eY6t8R

High-speed chases through dense areas are incredibly dangerous for everyone!
We're glad @peekskillpolice terminated this pursuit when it entered city streets. Great jobs by the officers for their restraint and helping ensure more drivers and pedestrians weren't put in danger.
@peekskillpolice just terminated a car chase that ran through downtown Peekskill, onto Rte 9 north, back south on 9 to just south of the city line, where a lone white male driver apparently crashed on his own.
Here’s the audio:

We're glad to see @AMDanaLevenberg's strong support for Congestion Pricing following the Gov's decision to kill it highlighted in this @StreetsPAC endorsement.
We're thrilled today to announce seven new endorsements of candidates running for the state legislature, two for the State Senate and five for the Assembly. They join 13 candidates whom we endorsed in June. Read all about them here: streetspac.org/seven_new_sta…
Ugh hopefully this is one @fleekskill prediction that doesn’t pan out.

I’ll bet $100 that @Walgreens will close its downtown Peekskill store the minute this new car-centric location on Route 202 across from BJ’s in Yorktown opens.
They fought the @CityOfPeekskill for a property tax cut a couple of years ago…

Take the @MetroNorth Customer Satisfaction Survey:

There was a crash this morning at Division and Howard involving a driver who lost control of their SUV and flipped over.
How sad and dumb is it that it’s illegal to go to any of @CityOfPeekskill’s public parks to watch the Northern Lights because our city and elected officials still subscribe to the 1980s era “no loitering” style of government?
