Stop the Horn Blowing on York Ave Btw 61St-65th Street

Quality of Life. Something we all want. Something we all deserve. We all work hard and when we are in our homes, we want peace. We want to be able to open our windows. Enjoy the beautiful spring weather, be able to actually hear ourselves think.

For those of us who live on York Ave. between 61st and 65th St. we cannot have those small and important luxury’s. We cannot sit in our homes in peace. We cannot open our windows, in fact sometimes we can’t even sleep because the horns are blowing all day and all night.

People no longer blow their horns for reasons of Emergency. Today they blow their horns because they are impatient. The light has turned green and the person in front of them hasn’t moved fast enough, or perhaps there is a pedestrian crossing the street that someone 3 cars back can’t see. The reasons are endless and ultimately ALL the wrong reason for blowing horns.

I would like to see the 19th Precinct set up weekly sting operations with multiple officers placed between these streets and hand out the $350.00 tickets to all of the motorists who sit on their horns. It needs to be weekly so that motorists learn and an actual impact is made. This is a WIN-WIN for all. The city will generate much needed revenue and hopefully the word will get out to not blow your horn.
