CBS New York June 22, 2021 A dangerous stretch of Sunset Park is about to undergo a safety transformation. But the community it's meant to protect is crying foul – claiming they've been shut out of the entire process. As CBS2's Christina Fan reports, there's no question that Seventh and Eighth Avenue in Brooklyn's Chinatown are traffic hazards. Trucks are chronically double parked. The sidewalks are too narrow. But families say even more problematic is the DOT's lack of transparency in redesigning it. CBS Local Digital Media personalizes the global reach of CBS-owned and operated television and radio stations with a local perspective.
