Manson also reminded drivers to get ready for the city-wide speed limit reduction to take effect on Nov. 7. As of that date, the maximum speed on streets without a posted speed limit will be 25 mph, down from 30 mph.
Officials believe the change will result in fewer fatalities, as pedestrians struck by vehicles that are traveling less than 30 mph have a greater chance of surviving their injuries.
Manson said his officers will be out in full force with radar guns when the change takes effect.
The commander also introduced two members of the NYPD Narcotics Bureau and encouraged members of the public to confidentially provide them with information regarding suspected drug sales or other related activity in their community.
Preparing for the holidays
With the holiday season approaching, the community council will be holding a food drive to help disadvantaged families in the area. Tania Broschart, the community council’s treasurer, encouraged residents attending the November meeting to bring donations of nonperishable food items such as canned goods, pasta or cereal.
Donations will also be accepted at the 104th Precinct stationhouse, located at 64-02 Catalpa Ave. in Ridgewood, and at Assemblyman Mike Miller’s office in Woodhaven.
The donated items will be divided into baskets and given to families in need, Broschart said.
Manson added the precinct will hold a “Pictures with Santa” event in December prior to Christmas, though details of the event are not finalized.
The next 104th Precinct Community Council meeting is scheduled to take place on Tuesday night, Nov. 18, at 7:30 p.m. at Christ the King Regional High School, located at 68-02 Metropolitan Ave. in Middle Village.
