Officers will focus on sections of Aramingo Avenue between Somerset and Frankford Creek, as well as Island Avenue between Bartram and Woodland in Southwest Philadelphia.
Police said they've been looking at ways to reduce the number of crashes and fatalities along the two busy corridors."Because it's always congested. Like I said, everyone's in a hurry to go nowhere so maybe that'll stop and things will get better. You can only hope," said Jeanette Straub. Right now, the number of traffic-related deaths is down. Police said last year at this point, there were 71 traffic-related fatalities and that right now, there have been at least 61.ATV riders and car meet-ups also continue to be a focus.Copyright © 2024 WPVI-TV.
