Triboro Residents Sound Off on Safety Issues

Triboro, NJ- Summer’s nearly here, and with each walk in the park, day at the pool and backyard BBQ comes the risk of snakebites, drowning and fires, but don’t worry! There’s no reason to stay cooped up inside all season.

Patch put together a list of summer safety tips to keep you safe and having fun while the weather’s warm. Make sure to give snakes their distance and always swim with a buddy to stay carefree during the dog days.

Keeping these tips in mind, there are other possible dangers that affect Triboro residents year round.

We asked Patch readers what they thought the biggest safety issues were in their town. Here’s a list of the most pressing problems, from break-ins to traffic jams:

• "The entrance and exits for Route 287/Route 23. Who was the genius that thought it would be a good idea to have an entrance onto the highway directly before the exit?"

• "Heroin addicts."

• "Drug trafficking."
