Fast Times at Slow Zone Party

Hooray for the Slow Zone! Members of the Friends of the Williamsbridge Oval (FOTWO) celebrated the arrival of the neighborhood’s Slow Zone. The group lobbied the city Department of Transportation to include Reservoir Oval and other residential streets surrounding Williamsbridge Oval in its latest round of Slow Zones across the Bronx.

I am in this photo, but not identified by name. I was out in the neighborhood collecting signatures from our residents to present to DOT so we could get the Slow Zone.

I am the Vice President of the Friends of the Williamsbridge Oval Park. If you put someone’s photo on your newspaper, you should identify all of them by name.

I appear in this photo, but my name does not appear in the caption. I was out in the neighborhood collecting signatures from the community residents to present to DOT in order to get he Slow Zone in Norwood.

I am the Vice President of the Friends of the Williamsbridge Oval Park. If you are going to put the names of the people in the photo, no one should be excluded.

Thank you.
