It was tragic, but it seems, based the record of deaths along Queens Boulevard, it was only a matter of time. When someone ends up crossing here they never sure, if they are a senior citizen, if they are going to make it in time. In fact, it works out to one death ever six weeks. Thursday night's victim was identified as Eugene Eisenberg. Eisenberg is the 73rd fatality in the last eight years.
Local residents are all to aware of the statistics.
I mean it's very, very bad. Friday, more warning signs for pedestrians were being installed by crews with the Department of Transportation. Councilman McCaffrey says there is much more for the city to do here. So DOT is taking much of this. There is a lot that has to be done.
