Niusha Masumi testifies as crash survivor about daylighting
Niusha Masumi, an Upper West Side resident and crash survivor, says her crash could have been prevented by daylighting. She says the crash changed her life even though she had no broken bones and urges the city to reinforce daylighting during repaving.
Hi, thank you so much.
Thank you for your time and listening to a regular resident.
My testimony is not regard the laws as a personal testimony.
I'm one of the victims of car crash that my crash could have been easily prevented by daylighting.
And I heard today that you were talking with NYPD with regard to the measure of the casualties and the
pain.
In my incident, I didn't have any broken bones.
I didn't require any surgery, but it changed my life.
I have a life before and after the crash.
It caused me eventually to have autoimmune disease that caused so many symptoms while I didn't have any broken bones to show as a sign.
So just wanted to emphasize that how much these daylightings are important and how much it's better that if we take every single opportunity to implement them, which was missed actually one of them in Upper West Side when they were doing repaving
started in August.
So just wanted to say that please reinforce the daylighting.
That's the best way to slow down.
And as we hear over and over, slowing down the vehicles is the best way to prevent any damage.
Well, we'll hold the administration accountable.
And what is your name?
Niusha, and I live in Upper West Side, one or three part of the block association and park to park.
Oh, you're in my district.
Yes.
Nice to see you.
Nice to see you.
