Statement from Borough President Vito J. Fossella Commending DOT Commissioner Roseann Caruana on Swinnerton Street Concern

8/18/2022

 
Several residents brought attention to an approved traffic conversion on Swinnerton Street during a recent Tottenville Civic Association Meeting. The conversion would change the street’s one-way traffic pattern to a two-way street. Residents said that they were never notified of the conversion and its approval, and were displeased at this process. 
DOT Borough Commissioner Roseann Caruana said she was unaware of this approval and would investigate. Within one day, the Commissioner was able to identify the miscommunication among the neighborhood, and stopped the conversion altogether after listening to the concerned residents of Swinnerton Street.
We are very pleased and thankful for Borough Commissioner Caruana’s swift and positive response to a community concern. The evidence of a job well done came from the residents, primarily of  Swinnerton Street, who were grateful to the DOT team for their actions. 
Commissioner Caruana and her team deserve credit for reacting so quickly and responsibly to the matter.
