The streets surrounding three Brownsville schools will become much safer for students and pedestrians thanks to a $1 million cash infusion secured by U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries for his district in the fiscal year 2024 government funding bill.
The House Democratic leader joined Department of Transportation Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez, NYC Department of Design and Construction Commissioner Thomas Foley, Department of Education leaders, parents, and students outside P.S. 156 at 104 Sutter Ave. on Friday, where he presented the community with the $1 million check allocated for improving pedestrian visibility and safety.
