Eyes on the Street: Finally, Crosswalks on Katonah Avenue

DOT delayed more than six weeks after repaving Katonah Avenue in the Bronx before striping crosswalks.

A few weeks ago, a reader sent in a picture of an intersection on Katonah Avenue in the Bronx, which DOT repaved and striped with a double-yellow line -- but not crosswalks. For more than six weeks, residents crossed this neighborhood artery without painted markings, which had parents at P.S. 19 especially worried.
