A traffic signal that aims to mitigate hazardous roadway conditions on Peninsula Boulevard at Edward Avenue in Woodmere was activated on Aug. 24.
A stretch of Peninsula Boulevard that spans from Edward to Longacre avenues has been the scene of five fatal vehicular accidents in less than 2½ years in an area that could be nicknamed “Death alley.”
The most recent fatality occurred last Dec. 11, at the corner where the traffic light was installed. Two vehicles collided that night, and Liel Namdar, 15, a sophomore at Torah Academy for Girls In Far Rockaway, was killed.
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman surrounded by local elected officials and community members turned the traffic signal on that Wednesday morning.
