"And I want to personally thank the Mayor for taking such swift action," Gonzalez said.
As they drove past the new concrete barriers, where a bouquet of flowers marks the accident spot, a procession of livery cab drivers honked their horns seven times to represent the dead.
Fernando Mateo, representing the Federation of Taxi Drivers, told Silverman that it is time to put the eyes and ears that use the city's roads to use. He suggested making a list of danger spots so that the city will know where work needs to be done.
"And we want to help the city prevent accidents, like this, from happening," he said.
The Federation is also helping the family. They have already raised $50,000 in donations.
What do you think can be done to improve safety on the city's roads? Let us know in our comments section below...
