A new video posted to a local Facebook group shows a firetruck being blocked from traveling down Skillman Avenue-raising questions about public safety following the street's recent redesign. The video, just over a minute long and posted to the Woodside Pride group at around 8:45 p.m.Â yesterday, shows an angled firetruck from the local Engine 325/Ladder 163 firehouse on 51st Street, with lights and horns ablaze, unable to turn onto Skillman Avenue.
