Sunset Park cyclist
fatally struck by box
truck in Boro Park
BY AIDAN GRAHAM
A Sunset Park cyclist died on April 17
after a passing box truck struck him in
Borough Park.
Pedro Tepozteco, 26, was riding his
bike on 47th Street at 5:30 p.m., when
cops say he “fell into the truck” as it
attempted to pass him near the intersection
of 17th Avenue. The cyclist was
ICE RINK
by 4 p.m., according to agency spokesman
Christian Ficara, who added that
offi cials will determine the timeline
for demolition and construction based
on the selected respondent’s proposal.
The site, which is more than double
the size of a football fi eld, has been
used by local hockey teams and fi gure
skaters since it was built in 1970,
and draws large crowds of amateur
skaters when it opens to the public on
weekends.
The demolition and re-construction
of the rink — which is currently
under the jurisdiction of the Parks Department
— are products of the neighborhood’s
2009 rezoning, which aims
to expand the amusement district
along the Riegelmann Boardwalk.
MISSING STUDENT
the youngster two miles away — at
75th Street and 16th Avenue — about
an hour after he disappeared, at 5:13
p.m., and Mesa was reunited with his
parents at around 5:30 p.m., the news
outlet reported.
ABC7 added that Mesa’s parents
pulled him out of school the following
day, and were considering fi ling a lawsuit
against the school for the “pain
and suffering” they experienced.
Reynoso, Mesa, and their lawyer,
William Ferro, could not be reached
by press time. Reps for Coney Island
Prep did not respond to inquiries by
press time.
Continued from cover
The rezoning also includes plans
to add housing and retail space to the
MCU Park-adjacent parking lot just
north of the rink, according to the
request for proposals, which added
that the city will retain about 400 of
the lot’s approximately 1,000 parking
spots as part of a lease agreement
with the Brooklyn Baseball Company,
which operates the stadium.
But the plans for redevelopment
of the ice rink have not come without
controversy: at a meeting last summer,
locals — including Councilman
Mark Treyger (D-Coney Island) —
called for the Parks Department to
retain control over the rink, alleging
that a private developer might make
the new facility less accessible to the
community.
Other Coney Islanders claim that
the city could develop the area without
even demolishing the rink.
Continued from cover
hit by the truck’s passenger-side rear
tires, according to authorities.
Paramedics rushed Tepozteco to
Maimonides Medical Center where
doctors pronounced him dead.
The 29-year-old truck driver remained
on the scene, police say, and
no charges were immediately fi led.
The investigation is ongoing.
